In looking at this again what is more offensive is $29,000 for 2 Pepsi 81's? $14,500 each with no best offer. Hi end for a Pepsi is $4,000. High end for a complete restoration is $4,000. That's $8,000. Leaves a $6,500 margin. Oh Carl.....
I'm sure he's only using these as free advertising for his business outside of eBay.  No sales, no eBay fees.  Hoping someone will come across his ads and say "wow those look good, maybe I should look this guy up and see if I can get a deal".

Saw on CL, not selling coin ops or petroliana, but it's in the spirit of the conversation

They must need to offer "perks" to sell firewood in Jersey.

        Has anyone ever read ALL of his auction description before?

         I can't get past the part where he describes himself as the best restorer in the world and that the rest of us are all cheaters, out to rip off the consumer.  darn

Hmm, I didnt know that spray painting a compressor "restores" it to better than new condition, must have magical pixie dust in the mix.   laugh & the foam rubber gasket running over the line cover must be an original factory installed option I'm assuming.

Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes.
Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!
The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p
Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor
11 is louder than 10...
"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Well, apparently the wood is antique based on the listing. So you have to get your money's worth in the Garden State

It's in the " collectible" listing. Can't be the wood, maybe if you collect girls...........?
