I don't know how much he wants, but it's going to go for big bucks.
It appears he is going to take what he gets as there is no reserve on it! |

Nope! He reserves the right to end the auction. He states " I do have it presently at an antique shop on consignment. So I reserve the right to end the auction early."
You'd think Ebay wouldn't allow it. I saw many items on Ebay stop their listings early by saying "the item is no longer available." I lost an 81B that way. Some guy, as the story went, found it in an old Rocky Mountain resort that closed in 1960. It was mint!!!
Watch and see, I bet he pulls it if he doesn't get what he wants. A high reserve cost the seller money. Taking it off early does not.

Watch and see, I bet he pulls it if he doesn't get what he wants. He has to end it prior to 12 hours remaining or it can't be done. eBay won't allow a seller to end an auction early if: A: There are bids and B: Less than 12 hours to go. |

I've had it happen to me before. Sometimes Ebay doesn't abide by their own rules. I had bids on many items and then "POOF" the next time I looked at the item there were no bids and a little note saying that the buyer ended the auction early. I don't think it's fair, especially if you really want something and you are the highest bidder. As we all know the real auction takes place in the last few minutes, but I don't think this item will last that long.
People always use excuses when they end their items early. I've heard many. One of my favorites was that I accidently ran it over with the car. I'm still waiting for my dog ate it.

Ending the auction early is really stupid, all the bidding occurs in the last few seconds of an auction anyway... especially for something really nice... I've had unique items go from $100's to THOUSANDS in a matter of 30 seconds at the end of an auction!... that's fun to see.
I'd love one of these too, but need to sell a few more of my Vendo 81's to be able to buy one...

This guy is SCUM, Months ago, he pulled the same crap. A No reserve auction and Jeff Wolf was the high bidder then and he ended the auction, so Jeff, offered him $5000.00 for it and he said ok, Well Jeff went to send the money and he changed his mind, told Jeff, he wanted $5400.00 What a piece of SHI@% This guy is. Jeff, was the high bidder, when he pulled the auction this time. This is whit I sent him.
You are about as low as they come, E-bay should ban you for 6 months as a warning. This is the second time you have pulled this crap with this machine. NO RESERVE, BIG DEAL, I'LL JUST PULL IT AT THE LAST MIN. IF I DON"T GET WHAT I WANT. People like you give E-bay a bad name. You told to many people what you were up too. Word travels fast. Everyone's got your number!You will never see 5K Everyone at Chicago saw you and though it was over priced then. Give it up.

Ha.. Hopefully he'll run over it with his car or put a fork lift through it...(I heard that one too)
Oh well... better for him to pull it than someone sending his the $$$ and not receive it!....
Just another seller to avoid... hope whoever wants one stumbles onto one for a song!

Hello To All
I'm the so called scum, the person that was selling the poperett on Ebay a week ago! After the nice person at memorylane emailed me and said I was scum for ending my auction early and this was the third or forth time that I tryed pulling this crap, and on and on.... I emailed him back, explaining, that I have never ever offered a poperett before on Ebay. That it was another person that had one for sale a number a months ago. I told him to check the ebay user name on the auctions and that would clear it up.Well needless to say he wrote the little coment on sodamachines.com without doing as I said. so everyone could see! Well memorylanes person I think its a damn shame that you are able to write what you wrote about me and get away with it. I did absolutly nothing wrong. I stated in my ebay discripsion that I reserved the right to end it early because it was being offered at a local consignment shop. Someone asked me through ebay what I was asking for it, I told them, and they said they would take it! What the hell is wrong with that. The nice person from memorylanes also mention that I wrote him back and had a few choice words for him! Which was tue, but why didn't you mention everything else I said in my email. I didn't do anything wrong, and I think it's a shame that idiots like this guy can totally ignore all the facts and try to destory someones name and Rep. I have bought and sold Coin-op Machines for some 25 years. My ebay feedback is perfect after 8 years. Not one complaint of any kind. I really would like some feed back from you memorylanes. It seems to me that you have a big mouth with nothing much to say as far as facts are concerned.

Hello Again!
I'm the person that memorylanes trashed, about my poperett machine. I would be greatful if anyone could tell me who this person is and how I could get a hold of him? I left him a email with my phone number on it so he could call, but got no response. One way or another, I want to know why he did what he did! There was no reason for it. He should be banded from a web sit like this, for making false statments against a person that he doesn't even know. What kills me, is that he's trying to make me look like some sort of crook and getting away with it at my exspense. Someone out there must know him! And I want to talk to him... He's a real class act. It just pisses me off everytime I read his coments, and everyone else chimming in and adding their two cents, when none of you know what the hell your even talking about. I listed my poperett only one time! Not three or four times, which the idiot at memorylanes said I did! Like I told him before he posted the nice little note about me on sodamachines.com, check my ebay user name and see how many times I have listed it. There was another person trying to sell a poperett about 2 or 3 months ago, and it was on 2 or 3 times. BUT IT WAS NOT ME. It was a different Ebayer, different person, different Ebay user I.D. different location. need I go on. And this nice guy from memorylanes still went ahead and said that I was scum, a scammer, etc. I want to talk to this idiot and ask him why he did what he did, especially after I explained everything to him. Someone out there knows this clown and I want to know who he is! I would be greatful for any information!
Happy Holidays!
You too memorylanes scum, sounds like you could use all the friends you can get!

Merry  Christmas day to you too Mr Gross. Hello Mr. Monodawg. I'm sorry you feel that way! I'm wondering how you'd feel if someone did something like this to you? Web sites like this ( anyway I thought ) were to help people out, exchange knowledge and information. Not to smear people, call them names, and post statments that are false and untrue. It's really quite sad that a few of you choose to sit around and gossip like a bunch of old ladys. Seems as thoe your a real class act just like Mr.Memorylanes. In stead of continually throwing dirt at me, do something constructive! Tell me what I did wrong in handling this ebay auction that evryone is so upset about. And before you do that read my other two entrys in sodamachines.com I can not believe that people like you are that narrow minded, and don't understand the situation ( and why it made me soo mad ) I guess it is a lot easier to throw dirt, than it is to admitt your wrong. Again a real classy response Mr. Moondawg. Happy Holidays to All! |

Hello Mark
welcome to the site.. I see that you have a keen interest in coin op...
We all share the same passion.
We can't take back what has happened and I guess there are lessons to be learnt.
However, in the spirit of Goodwill (and I appreciate you feel there hasn't been much shown to you)
why don't you join us and share some of your knowledge. Lots of us have Jukes as well as soda machines.
What do you reckon??? Have a look back through the archive you'll see we are a real friendly lot. Only the other day we were speaking about attracting more people to the site.
So what do you say??? Come on board..
Dave (the first to admitt likes a bit of gossip)

Hello Dave Thank You for the warm welcome! I do have a huge interest in coin-op machines, and have been collecting for almost 30 years. One of things that I enjoy most is meeting and talking with people, especially ones that share the same interest as I do. I have met a lot of very interesting, friendly and honest people through the years. I also like to think of myself that way. There is not one person out there that can say that I'm a terrible person to deal with, or I'm a shadey person, a crook , scum, whatever. I pride myself in treating people, the way I'd like them to treat me. No matter how many nice people are out there, unfortunately there are always going to be a few that wreck it for the majority. I realize that I've beat this issue pretty much to death, but it is a real difficult pill to swallow. The healthy thing is to let it go! which I will. but unless you've experienced something like this yourself, I don't think you can realize how hurtful it can feel. You have someone in one or two comments, try to destroy the two most important things in anyones life, your name and reputation. It hurts, and it is totally uncalled for! Again Dave, I thank You for your warm welcome. Hope you and your loved ones, have a very Happy and Healthy New Year! Best Regards Mark Gross |

Mark,
I would like to second what Dave said and welcome you to the site. I am sure that this was all just a huge misunderstanding. I hope that it can be put behind us and that we all can benefit from your 25 years of knowledge in this hobby. Most of us here are more like family to each other and most of us haven't even met. Please stick around. We also love pictures. Please start a new topic and show off some of your collection. Have a happy New year.

Reading back through this post and concluding that this must be a case of mistaken identity Mark. We all followed the Popperette that was offered for sale a while ago and then pulled from us.  What's the chance of 2 mint NOS machines showing up so close together? We assumed it was the same seller. But instead of introducing yourself as the victim........you blasted in the room with both gun barrels blazing. Well I'm sorry for any offense buddy, but now, like Dave says, we would be honored to have you as a member here. You have 30 years experience? I am 15 years into this and still learning from pioneers like you. Hope you can check in periodically and give us advice or share your latest finds. And do you have any favorite photo's of any other prized machines you have owned? Welcome friend ! I noticed Josh just published the same sentiments, but I'm adding my post anyways |

Mark,
First and foremost, I would like to welcome you to SMC ! ! !
It's unfortunate the events that took place brought you here; I would rather you came under your own accord as so many before you have...
We can only assume this is a case of serious mistaken identity; however, with greedbay continuously producing more and more fraudulent sellers, one would have to agree that forewarning our members of possible rip-off artists is a concern of this membership.
I'm glad you took the time to stop in, clear the issue, and even extend warm wishes to our members! These personal traits are what has made this Site one of the better places to frequent regarding collectible/antique soda machines and related items. I think you'll soon realize this should you decide to put this behind and more forward...
And again, Welcome and hope your New Year is a prosperous one ! ! !

Hello Mark,
First of all welcome aboard!! Please stick around and share your knowledge, experiences and collection with us. WOW! Just read through all the posts on the Popperette popcorn machine. Sorry you were slammed by Curtis of Memorylane here on the SMC site. He really is a nice guy and an asset to the coin op collectors. This site is a very useful tool to all of us. We all are usually pretty friendly and share parts, experiences and knowledge with each other. I have many good friends on this site but have only met a couple in person, but I still would do whatever I can to help these guys out. Stick around, you'll be glad you did.

Welcome Dave! I also had some choice words to say about your posting, but now understand that you had it for sale locally. I am just of the opinion that if an item is listed on Ebay with no reserve and their are bidders, the auction should run. I have been high bidder a few times, only to have the lister end the auction early. This seems unfair to me! That is why I call it Greedbay! Too many people showing up that are not fair with the process. I am sorry for any words I may have said about you as a person. I was more or less attacking the system of Greedbay. Welcome aboard and share some pics!

We'll looks as if I missed the fireworks while away from the computer... glad to see that it appears matters have cleared. Mark, I too have spoken to you via email about your popperette as I am about 2 hours from you... and looks that it was truely a case of mistaken identity. After going back and reading the posts again, I too agree with Seven181, that we just dont' like how "Some People" Not implying you, but some ebay sellers post a Great rare item on ebay with No reserve... WE ALL get EXCITED thinking OK here is our Shot at owning an incredible machine cause there is no Reserve!!! so we all talk about it here , get all riled up and kind of get our financials lined up to see how much the wife will let us spend!, But then at the last minute, the auction closes for some reason and we all loose out on putting our final Gut checking bids in with 30 seconds to hammer time... that's what's gets us... This is why ebay has the reserve feature, and many don't use it because they don't want to pay the fees, well Ebay has to make money too, and even though many of us hate/love it, I have added several items to my collection I would NOT have found with out!.. so it's a catch 22. Anyway.. just my two and a half cents.... Please stick around on the site... everyone here, Even Memorylane guy is a great guy and true asset to the hobby, and hopefully you two can work it out! GIANT HUG!!!!  |
