I have a 1931 Glascock Coin Operated Machine that has a rarity of 5+ as well - from what I know 6 complete ones are known to exist - I cant get $2500 for it - reagardless of how hard I try.  

Rarity only means something to a museum, not most collectors.  Most collectors want a machine that is easy to use, has a variety of flavors to offer, holds bottles including long necks - gosh, sounds like an 81 or 56...

Tom

P.S.  I have a lot of rounded corner machines that I would love to get $750 for...

USMC VET,
                  I don't think anyone is really trying to insult your Intelligence !!!! YOU SHOW US YOUR INTELLIGNCE when you got all up in arm"s With Eric at Globelcompressure abought delivery of your compressure .
Most of us have only seen pictures of that type machine .Are can even guess?
What one's worth .How many Queens Ice Makers with a Galaxie Dispencer Have You seen ?
And 81s & 56s Bring $1500-$1800 unrestored WHY ? Because thay can Still be used as a everyday machine .I DON'T think you'll see a WORKING Lions Cup Machine because it would be costly to convert to today's Systems.Just Like My Galaxie & Ice Machine .I hope you get what you want for it .But it seems to me YOU !! Just wanted to line Your Pockets!! I WON'T speak for anyone here .But I collect Machine & Am Happy to Assit Any Member on this Site .As I have In the Past with Part's That I sold them at my cost or below Just to Help in there Restorations...

Wow

Angry man or what??? From all the posts I read people were upfront with you from the start. The only person who had aything to hide was you. Why didn't you approach the topic with... There's this machine I might be lucky enough to buy what do you think I should offer??? Yu could have still protected the identity or location of the thing without being as sneeky as you were.

Perhaps I'm a bit wet behind the ears but here's hoping you're stuck with it and can't shift it for the money you laid out. Hang on a minute. This is by far the fairest and friendliest forum I have ever been part of so I'm not going to lower it to the level of others. I hope you get lots of money for it and live happy ever after. Happy New Year and good luck with your new toy.

USMC VET ,
                 You are correct ! You did Apoligize .Never said you did'nt. But you got really up-set over nothing .Some things take time .But on this you may? have been inplying that everone wanted it for nothing? Some may ? Other's truly did'nt know the value or have even seen one ME included !! (other then a picture)
I beleive inside that most Member on this site ARE GREAT!! I have eather need there help & Support or given mine .With OUTSTANDING REPLYS from everone here.I'v been on here longer then it says under my Name BUT i forgot my log-in & pass word because I was so busy .So I just redid it .

I never asked were it was are gave an estimate on the Lions Machine Because I truly did'nt Know .I was just hoping that you got it so everone could injoy the fact a Member on this site Saved A really Great Machine .
Most of the Machines I own Work weather there Restored or not .I use all of them for Block partys in the summer & enjoy the comments from others .I REALLY HOPE you get what you want for it !!
                                                      Ltransam
  
P.S. I'v Seen Galaxie Dispenser's Heads (Dispenser Head ONLY)go any were from $1000 =$2000 depending on the Market or the Buyer .(Look under Dispensers by Vendo on this site Or Queens There Both Mine) But thats why theres E-BAY

What the  '<img'>  Everyone was psyched earlier this week with the Lyons and the VMC 81 7up..now everyone is up in arms...what triggered this?  Again...no one really knew what the Lyons was worth....glad you got it for 1500 and change, it is definitely a rare and cool machine.  If you plan to flip it, I hope it sells well...but this particular post seems to have triggered some hostility and personal attacks...I would hope we could avoid the flames...."Ca...ca...can't we just all get along?"  Rodney King circa 1992.

If Mr. VET ever posts a question on this board again, I'll be sure to avoid answering him!  Seems he didn't like my response.

I usually don't get involved in pissing matches, but this is rediculous. I've only been on this site for a month, and it is by far the best, most helpful site I've ever been on. I hope that doesn't change.

 USMC Vet.... If you really are a Vet, thank you. I am kinda dissapointed that our millitary teaches these types of attitudes. I was impressed with the way that everyone here offered their ideas and knowledge to the question you asked about the machine. Then to turn around and smack them all in the face with your attitude, just makes absolutely no sense. Most people I've seen on this site are not in this for the money. Its a hobby. I come home at night after a good days work, look at my machines, and just smile. I think most here feel the same way with their machines.

 I hope that Lyons machine is a knockoff and you get stuck with it!
