Looks like a generic VMC 81 and an 81D.

Overpriced...I realize that it only takes one buyer, but I will be shocked if that buyer shows up for what I think is full retail on both machines. I would think they might be better off separating the pair and asking full retail...I also think they would realize better prices that way...just my two cents from my experience selling machines.

These belong to Ezra here on site he sent me a message saying he decided to list them . I decided not to purchase the VMC generic and let the next man get it.

Agreed on selling them separate, I don't understand.  Didn't 2 people on forum want the generic?  What happened?

I didn't realize these were Ezra's machines...but yes, at least two people wanted the generic. I'm not sure they would buy both machines, let alone a generic for $3500....the most I've seen a generic in that condition go for is $2800. I think if he's patient he could get $3000, but I would be surprised if he got $3500. At a certain point, you would just cut up a Coke 81 and not have the VMC stamped square area at the bottom...but even that could be fixed.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to sell their machines because we all have what works for us but the only way I would ever group 2 machines if one was a dog. One would have to buy that one to get the good one. When selling 2 collectible machines there is no advantage, it can only hurt you. Unless you offer someone a nice savings but then you are only shooting yourself in the foot because you are discounting something that might not need to be discounted if sold by itself. But then again I'm just a rookie so just ignore me.

Thank you for your input on what you believe fair market value is for the machines.  My price reflects my views after taking into consideration all the time I put into searching craigslist throughout the day every day, newspapers classifieds, cold calling old leads, etc. I want to be properly compensated for time.

I value my experience as priceless.

That's not how pricing a product works, but good luck to you.
