When I see 5 cent Pepsi Machine for $3,200 yes my eyes kind of light up as I can't wait to click hoping to see a very nice VMC Pepsi 81 but instead I get this...

That's because there are so many lowballers you have to ask double what its worth to get a reasonable offer. Everyone thinks that if they don't get them down on price then they aren't getting a "deal"

I would not pay one tenth the asking price for that. People are nuts.

I look at that machine and think, "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone"

There are a lot of nutty prices out there - -ebay link below to a few Stoner Candy machines.  A Stoner jr. for $12k?? A regular 7 pull with gum wheel - $9850?  There are  a few others with high price tags that have been on and off eBay for months on end.

It's be partially redone, but I just don't see $2200. I note the vend stack is not painted white behind the selector knobs, like most of them were.

All of them if they can get it.  :tounge: :tounge: :tounge:

Look around, how many are selling any machines for less than the high water mark?  :glare: And if you are, let me know, I'll take it and flip it like they are all doing! I've contacted multiple members (accidentally) via Craig's List on machines that were WAY too high. 2x, 3x what the members say here say they are worth... and you know what... I bet the got closer then anyone will admit.
