Nice catch Ginger! I saw this listing earlier today, but did not pay much attention to it. the coin door look at that photo I think that is just the bezel gasket; nevertheless, it appears it was a Pepsi machine at one time. But look where the ID plate is. |

Guys,
many thx for all your info!!!
this board resembles more an episode of CSI on this topic
so in conclusion,
its a VMC 81 of some description currently painted red with a raised coke sign
[ii] originally could have been generic [non embossed]
[iii] possibly embossed pepsi [but was pepsi embossing slightly larger than coke sign]
[iv] NOT 7up or RC embossed as embossing just too big for coke sign placed above it.
what would the respective value difference between
a generic VMC as opposed to embossed Pepsi VMC in this condition.
Finally, moondawg originally also mentioned DP [firstly,were these embossed also]
I have discounted this option above, maybe rightly or wrongly,
the guy has responded to my question so would be interested in your opinion on
values.
many thx
GP

well the guy responded saying his reserve was $2500,
but he would let the auction run with no BUYITNOW,
so I was less interested, by the time its shipped to UK
with duty and shipping it is not really an option unless
maybe 7up [or RC!]. If his buyitnow had been $1500 or
so, then it would have certaintly been worth a punt.
anyway, he's now updated his listing
saying that the machine is a vmc 81,
one of only x4 models & worth $9500
to $17,000 USD, so hes fully aware!!
lets see what it goes for!

Fully aware?  Someone told him his machine was worth $10K! I'm gonna e-mail him and trade him some beachfront property in Arizona for it! |

I don't think the bidding will meet his reserve, but we'll see.

If he had any smarts, he would answer everybody's question
and remove that plate. Then folks would bid accordingly!

If he had any smarts, he would wouldn't be stating it's worth 10 grand.

well looks like he has at least removed that plate
to reveal what is underneath, have asked him to
email pix as he cannot post on the listing, but no
reply yet, but it is early morning uk so would not
expect one yet, did anyone get the pix to share,
yet,
regards GP

Interesting! I would've bet that it was a generic - the plate just barely covered that logo.
