Title: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: BONOVOX on November 07, 2012, 04:53:04 pm I was watching this auction out of curiosity, and was surprised at what it sold for.
It ended up selling for $ 4101 today! It does look like a nice shape original... has a couple of more decals than what I would prefer, but still nice shape. But the price! wow. :happydrinkers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Pepsi-VMC-88-Cola-Soda-Vending-Machine-/121011296820?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=JO8PKqlfNomznCoKn5vU5mF4pfk%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: Slapshot42 on November 07, 2012, 05:03:29 pm I was watching it also Ed.
I was very surprised when it only had 1 bid. Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: Creighton on November 07, 2012, 06:17:02 pm Wow. Strong money for that one.

Doesn't the machine look smaller with the woman standing beside it... she makes it look like a RT56 in size...

Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: bcharlton on November 08, 2012, 09:02:04 am Before we all do a victory lap, can anyone confirm that the deal really closed at over $4000? I know people that establish false pricing on e-bay in order to sell thing's at inflated prices. I do not believe this is legitimate.
BC Let me know if I am wrong Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: collecture on November 08, 2012, 09:47:25 am Before we all do a victory lap, can anyone confirm that the deal really closed at over $4000?

BC Let me know if I am wrong I doubt it will be verified unless someone on here bought it. It does not appear to have any shill bidding though. Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: mygoose101 on November 08, 2012, 12:35:29 pm Victory lap? Unless it's my machine which it is not I can care less what it sold for even though I'm surprised. Buyer has over 500 feedbacks so does seem legit.
Some people pay sticker price for a new car, others overpay for a Pepsi 88, go figure. Title: Re: VMC 88 Pepsi Sold on Ebay Post by: MaineT on November 08, 2012, 02:25:43 pm Victory lap?

Some people pay sticker price for a new car, others overpay for a Pepsi 88, go figure. I have over 700 and I.... Um... well, Lets just say just because he is over 500 doesn't mean much more then he may know some tricks because he has been doing it a long time! The better way to see if there is shill bidding going on... Look at his completed and the sold items in his feedback. If he seems to ALWAYS get premium money, flag. If he EVER re-lists the same item AFTER it sold, Flag. One flag, no big deal, more than one, RUN! Ebay is a market and very easily manipulated. Its not an auction, if it were the last bid could not be timed. If someone put a bid in, then it should extend the real time auction to allow legitimate bidders to bid. |
