In reading the ad and looking at the pictures it's a little confusing. So there are 2 embossed Pepsi, a Coke B and D, and are the 7up and RC  generic?

Very cool.  Just how rare is that RC Generic?   I know about the embossed one, but never seen this one expect for that picture on the vendo production line from back in the day.

        Just 1 embossed Pepsi. 2 Coke and 3 generic.

        As much as it would make this guy's life easier, no one will buy the whole lot from him at his price.
        He will do much better listing each one individually.

I agree with Glen.  If you put an average value of 3k on each machine (some higher, some lower), 18k for all 6 is the best he should hope for. 26k is 8k too much IMO.

I agree.....It would be neat to pair that generic DP machine with the embossed DP version though.

Slider Bob - why don't you buy at his price then I'll give you 3K apiece.

Needless to say these are 6 collectible machines. I agree that things are better sold by the each rather than in a lot or group. I think this might be an exception where a restorer/collector might pay a premium on the lot because he is getting 6 machines at once. I would break them down like this. I think these numbers are fairly real, maybe if anything a tad high:

Generic RC 4500
Generic 7UP 4300
Generic Blue 4000
Pepsi 81 3800
Coke B 3000
Coke D 3000

Total 22,600. This would be on a very good day if everything lined up perfect.

        I'm puzzled by such a small 7up logo used, also it's on a generic door which has no VMC dimple!   One of a kind?

I to am perplexed by the 7 up like you said no embossing for the VMC Tag . And I looked really close around the ID Tag . It's strange but looks like it's been on there . Bob and I really look it over an was comparing it to ours

Early VMC Generic ?
