Well over the last 6 months I have enjoyed a buying frenzy of cool old stuff that runs on a dime.  One of my cars died recently and I need to replace it.  My wife told me to sell something but I think I would rather walk than part with some of my old stuff.

My Jacobs 56 is original and in mint condition.  Works on a dime and everything is there.  I may have to kill myself later but I may need to part with it.

I have seen some in the past go for $3500 in worse shape.  Is this still the going rate for it?

Hello, bcharlton

             As I said In an older post Your Machine Is Sweet !!. I also found one around the same time you got yours ,But Yours Is In MUCH better shape then mine is (Untill Pat restores it in the Spring )  It's a shame that stuff happens an We do just what your thinking Of But again it's a Hobby & Then Theres the reall world . I would Say You Should have NO problem  Getting any were from $2500 -$3500 for it I have Been Watching E-bay for them since i got mine and i am Watching the One TKAS has mention since it was listed .There was 1 other one listed 2 -3 months ago in Close to your condition i think it went for $3100 ??
But These Machines Do Not Come up very often & Are realy hard to find .

I agree with Bonovox.  If she needs a new car, then she needs to sell some of her stuff (shoes, purses, clothes, etc).

Why should you be the one who has to suffer?

I think your Pepsi Light Up is a really nice machine and they don't come up for sale very often.  Keep it!

I agree.. keep the Pepsi as it's more rare.. sell your other more common machines as you can replace those much easier later on..

Your comments have been extremely helpful so I have completed my analysis and found that I need to get rid of the wife.  Any one know a good divorce lawyer?

Best bet is to call in the MM (Michigan Mafia) to off her; otherwise, she could end up with the toys! Oo
