that auction made me  cry.

I might bid on this, you never know the guy could have 20 bars of Gold from Fort Knox inside the machine.... What was he thinking?

Well some people think they have a gold mine  and just don't understand
it take some hard work to get these machine restored to a better state
than when they rolled off the line.

  With that being said , This guy is nut if he thinks he going to get that  .

As a one time deal to all of my SMC friends, I will part with my rare original Coca Cola VMC 144SA for half of what that guy is asking!  Don't delay, this baby won't last long!

PS--and if you want a matching Coca Cola VMC 144M to go with the Pepsi one in that auction, I can set you up with that for $10,000 as well.  Of course there would be a finder's finder fee.  Just feeling generous today I guess!

I agree with you Pat, but there are so many resources available today to  help people understand  what the market conditions are,  what is a market price, and what is  some pipe dream.  Wow, maybe 10 minutes  using google, not a lot to ask,

I'm run into this  stuff looking at houses, and  dealing with jukeboxes also. People think the market slide doesn't apply to  them,  they believe there house is still worth the 30-40K   they have listed over comps, and  by golly a 1970's Seeburg is a jukebox, so it's worth as much as a grade A restoration of a Wurly 1015.

when ever I see, "restored these sell for..." in any ad,  I run.

sorry, climbing off the soapbox now
