Your right ray the back ground does look good. The machine does show well. Not to get off topic but do you all think the 7 up 81 on ebay sold for real last night?

My two cents is it is highly probable. But gives you an idea of what a nice restoration can sell for. I don't even want want to think what he made per labor hour on that machine.

        Not a chance it sold Jared, the seller has had this same machine also listed at a Buy It Now for $15K all week and it's still there. Just knowing who the seller is, exposes the tactics.

But how would you convince all those bidders to chime in. Also, Carl is on the hook for the ten percent fee now. Approx 950 bucks.

From Wikipedia :  "Shill" typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that they are an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) for whom they are secretly working. The person or group who hires the shill is using crowd psychology to encourage other onlookers or audience members to purchase the goods or services (or accept the ideas being marketed). Shills are often employed by professional marketing campaigns. "Plant" and "stooge" more commonly refer to any person who is secretly in league with another person or organization while pretending to be neutral or actually a part of the organization he is planted in, such as a magician's audience, a political party, or an intelligence organization (see double agent).[citation needed]
