Ed I figured you might be bidding on this too I was doing phone bid I have bought from these guys before. I bought some other rare stuff a few months ago they are about 3 1/2 hours from me.

I heard from the audio there were 3 phone bidders..... Once I head that, I knew there was going to be fast and furious action on it.

The problem I had (lesson learned) was that when it reached a certain price level, the bid increase for me online was 400, as that is what he auctioneer was calling out, and that's what was listed... there was no option for me to bid it up 100 at a time... again, lesson learned,... should have done the phone bidding was well.

Glad someone here got it!

Yes I did internet bidding one time and yes it does jump quicker than phone,bidding or on site bidding as I was going $100 at a time I slowed him down at the end hard to here on phone.

I know a guy who has one and was offered 10K.   He did not sell it.

The vmc 7up 88 is a nice size, is scare in existence,  and has an appealing appearance.  However,  it is solely my belief it cannot yield more than its much more appealing popular brother machine  , the vmc 81.  I know coca cola 88's are tough to come by too. Bottom line, a rarity like your machine has limited appeal, rarity alone doesn't equate to exceptional value, but a 7up machine collector out there has been hunting for a vmc 7up 88 for a long time and may be willing to put up some good money! Nice acquisition!  Like the machine

       I had a pepsi 88 sitting next to a Vendo 80 for a while, a great time for design comparison.
       The V-80 has the very rounded top with a rather square looking coin door, the 88 is opposite (plus a crank handle) and I think it looks so much better!

      Would love to see the Coke, Pepsi and 7up, all lined up together.
