I don't usually post machines that I pick up here because it is never anything that exciting that members here don't already have. I'm not calling this machine exciting either but in over 200 machines that I have owned at one time or another over the past 20 years I have never even seen one of these in person, still haven't actually because it is sitting in my nephews garage a few hours away.

I'm curious to see what this machine might bring in. I know rare doesn't always equal value  but the more I see it the more I like it. I think it's a great design for a single vend machine.

Found it on CL advertised as a perfect original. I don't think it's either as I see a few dings and some paint touch up but I see it with color and could be way worse for sure. Still yet to see the inside but again was advertised as complete also so we'll see, hopefull I see a rack inside.

Wish I could have picked it up for less but it was next to my nephew so he did the deal for me.

The Coke VMC 88 IS is a rare find.  They seldomly surface and when they do they seem to be extremely overpriced.  I would say it's a solid $15000-$2000.

Very nice!  I assume you can use the same shims as a 44 to vend the 8oz bottles, which makes it more desirable as a functional machine.

You can vend almost any bottle or can out of this machine...I was using it for the longneck cokes from Costco.

Proportions are spot on. Great score. I'm jealous. One is on the need list :-)
Thanks for the pics!

Nice find. I like this machine. It has a really good look to it. When you get it let us know if it was as nice as you expected. From the looks of the picture it appears to be in great shape.

       Gee's, what do you want dude?

 The seller cut her price almost in half on the phone, then delivered it 100 miles to your nephew's garage at midnight!  biggrin
