Hey markito

[Bob K]

Markito, I know you just bought a machine but there's a pretty cool Pepsi slant shelver from MN on ebay.  Opening bid is $50.00.  Has the "IN CANS" graphics with the can opener, which makes it a bit different.  Looks nice and small, too.

I don't know if you're strictly a COKE guy or not, just wanted to give you a heads up.  Just in case your wife was on the fence about kicking you out of the house '> .

It's a nice V77/Can, and with legs too!  I'd go for it!  '>

Bob,
So nice of you to think of me. I missed that one because I always do daily eBay searches of "Coke Machine", "Coca Machine" and "Vendo".

I have always been an "Only Coke" guy, but this model has me tempted. Though it's in my same state, it is actually 220 miles away from me and I still have to pick up the one I won last week and that one is coincidentally 220 miles the opposite direction!

But I may bid on it anyway. I have always wanted a machine with the cool can punch on it.

We'll see... and yes, I am so sleeping on all of your couches if I actually buy another one. She still doesn't know about my recent win.

It might not be so bad, but our garage is the smallest two-car garage on earth. We can barely fit both vehicles in there even when it is otherwise empty, so there really isn't room for machines. That's why I have been selling all of the snack vending machines on my eBay auction. If I had a third stall with a work area, then I could probably work on them in peace and show I could sell for a profit. I'm jealous of you guys with your large and workshop garages.

By the way, I feel so honored to have a thread named after me. Made my whole day! '>

Thanks again for looking out for me Bob. (Or is it contributing to my downfall?)

That's a cool machine.  THe first 77 can vendor I've seen.

I am SO EXCITED!!!! As you know I have been selling (on eBay) a lot of modern vending machines I have had laying around forever and I have been making a good profit on them. My wife commented that I made over $1,000 in the past few days (all going to help our family's recent financial crisis) and that it is a shame that I will soon be out of vending machines to make a nice profit on!!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?!?!?!?!

Later tonight I will slip in the part about how old Coke machines are really just vending machines and that I can continue making a profit by bringing home Coke machines!!!!  My prayers have possibly been answered! '> '> '>

Well... it is true. I paid for all the plumbing in my home by selling 3 Coke Westinghouse
Juniors, unrestored 2 with no lids .... I had $250 in all 3.
Had a rough 72 with only 4 shelves, no mech and the main coin door dented bought for $75 sold $750.... Both pre-eBay days... there's 2 stories you can tell her!

'kito, that VMC can vendor has your name all over it...  '>

Mark,

Stay focused!
Eight days can seem like eternity... :'>

Well guys, those 8 days did seem like an eternity, but I'm happy to say that I won the Pepsi machine (my first non-Coke) and for only $50!!!



And since I am planning to drive up and get it myself (that will be two 9 hour driving days for machines in one week!!!!!) I won't have to pay for freight.

I wonder if I will drive past a "V77" highway sign on the trip up there?!?! '>

What a great deal. I plan to fix anything that needs it and then sell it again. I figure it didn't sell because it was WAY up north, way off the beaten path.

I'm still a Coke only fan, but the fact that it is a "Now in cans!" model and that it has the cool 3-D lighted Pepsi cap sign, I like it.

I sense a new "Markito's Pepsi fixer-upper..." thread coming on. '>

Thanks again for the heads-up Bob K.
I would have never found it if you hadn't shouted out, "Hey Markito!" '>

Great Score!!
I like the sign as well. Enough room to make an aquarium in there? You are going to be busy :-)
