I was at the auction last week for this item...the suggested opening bid was $25 and I was willing to go that high, just because it was unique...and then it went for crazy $$$. I think he paid $170 for it...I had no idea there was other people more willing to throw even crazier $$$ at it. Blows my mind

I saw that. I'd be in up to $100.00. Something unique to talk about. But it is up there in the stupidest machines...

Remember when it was a dime to use a restroom? Thank goodness someone made that illegal. Speaking of dumbest vending, anyone remember these on family trips in the 1960's and 70's? Hard to beleive it, but tens of thousands of these were sold. http://www.retrothing.com/2007/06/magic_fingers_v.htmlMagic Fingers |

I remember bugging the heck out of my parents for a quarter - better than that space ship or pony ride outside the grocery store! |

Yeah, I remember them. Often wondered how a vibrating bed would put you to sleep. However, it may be stimulating for other reasons...

One vintage machine I would love to get my hands on (a child of the 70's myself) would be one of the Mold-o-rama vending machines. They were at every zoo, museum, aquarium, amusement park that I went to as a kid. Something about the God awful stink of the thing when it first came out and handing a child a piping hot wax figurine just felt so wrong.................ah how times have changed
