We purchased the inventory of a flower shop from Syliva Bray with Hall's Flower Shop in California, MO and she guaranteed the cooler to work. The cooler was priced at $450.00. When we brought back and plugged it in, it did not work and according to the service people that we have had look at it, they said the cooler has not been operable for several years. The lines and motor are seized up. We contacted Sylvia about it and she said to have it checked out and she would make it right with us. So when we tried to contact her with the results, she now refuses to speak to us.
Here is the email that we received:

Hello! This listing on Craiglist includes everything to open a flower shop where ever you what. The floral cooler works great! It includes a cash register, front counter, 2 design stations ( used separate or can be put together for on large unit) new credit card machine ( I paid $1300 for it), lots of silks and dried flowers, etc. for everyday and for all holidays, enclosure cards, balloons, display racks ( mostly baker's racks) and much more. I am located in California MO - - just 20 miles west of Jefferson City. I just closed my business because we found out that my husband has cancer. I will sell it all together or separate. If you are interested, just let me know and you are more than welcome to. Thanks!!
