A buddy notified me last week that his neighboor was selling this old coke machine. Owner claimed to have had it for several years, he picked it up at a garage sale in New Mexico. He was told it sat outside of a small store for years, hence the faded paint.
I like it. Nice original that still work and complete with 2 keys. Very straight.

Thanks Guys!
I thought it was a good deal considering its shape and location, California. The inside of the machine is very clean and functions very well.
The other day I was talking with BaldTops and we both agreed on the down ward trend of the coke machine market. We have noticed that the price, at least on ebay, of several round top machines have fallen over the last year, year and a half. I remember bidding on a Cavalier 72 about 1.5 years ago and losing it to another bidder for 1800.00. At th same time it was very difficult to buy a Vendo 81 or 56 for under 2000.00.
Just the other day a cavalier 72 sold for about 660.00 on ebay.
Any thoughts?? Further insight to the lower market??

I'm thinking the recent holidays and tax season is keeping some people from spending. We'll see what happens after april 15th.

I have found that most of the machines I have sold, have in
some way or another have been purchased for a home remodel.
So when the housing industry cools, so do re-finance and
re-models. If Coke machine sales slow down, desparate sellers
will drop their prices.
