The thrill of the chase, the agony of the reality

I responded to a local ad for a 'Vendo Coke Machine', sent a few texts back and forth with the seller.  Really got my hopes up there, just to be squandered in the end!

A collectibles dealer in Maine named Gary just met someone from GA in Ohio to purchase an original RC 81...  So they are around, but pricey ! ! !  Gary sold his for 10K

That guy, Gary, is posting up and down the east coast with his TOP dollar prices. Signs, machines... And every keyword in the book!!!! Annoying!!!!!

I saw a 50's machine for sale on CL here while back, no make or model, and thought I could be walking into a great buy. Turned out to be a late 50's Westy Select-O-Matic with a bad vend motor.  

EDIT: I don't know for sure the motor was bad, but it wouldn't vend anyway.
