This ad made me laugh. This guy must think he is selling a actual collectible machine. The ol' "Rare Find", "No lowballers",  "You will be ignored" speech. What is so rare about this machine, it's a piece of plastic. Retails for over $1,500? This machine was never retailed, it was free! If you own a store Coca Cola gave it to you to sell their products. You would probably even get a few cases of free Coke if you asked nicely. Funny stuff.

These pop-up Coke coolers were distributed to retailers only, it has the added bonus that they were all abandoned due to plentiful cooling system failures, they hold plastic 20oz bottles only, ( I don't recall if they could vend anything else) horizontally in a column, and when you pull the top one out, the whole "rack" pops-up a bottle at a time, but the top bottle was always warm. this model plus the glass-top "Victory" square Coke coolers I avoid like the plague.

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

There's two of those near Seattle, one for $100 and one for $400 OBO.  Both with out the "no low ballers" disclaimer.
