Here's what $1,600 gets you in the garden state

Thats a good deal because it says it can sell for $7,000-$8,000. What are you waiting for. Go get it.

Due does that mean your gonna pass? is it cool if I go for it?

No worries,please feel free to go after it. I can't imagine it being worth that much as is or the restored quote. If I'm wrong so be it as I don't like the overall look of the machine.

Good luck to you if you go for it

Run and hide from that machine..

and no, your not missing out on anything with this boat anchor.

If it's on the internet, it must be true. 

I prefer calling improper antique restorers. They are a lot more fun  on a Saturday night.


And no, it will never, ever, nor does it now go for 6-8,000 Dollars in any condition.


As john said. Run anddon't look back and  don't regret anything

Many moons back I had bought one paid $50 for it pulled the compressor  ( which was good )  and I took it to the scrap yard
and I think I made $127  .
So  Run  or turn it into a bird condo  with a built in feeder  and bird bath .
It in not one  that I would ever own again  .

I was just kidding, I wouldn't touch that thing

It would be if you attached a RC81.   :tounge:

Here's another machine in my area. Only $1250

Use contacts and this board for help, what model are you looking for? There's a ton of those overpriced adds on every craigs list everywhere, but machines do come up.  What's your budget?

Are you looking for a cheaply priced square top? $75-800?
Are you looking for a reasonable priced round top? Like a nice original maybe a V-39, v-110 or a Cav 72/96 in the $1000-2000 range?
Or are you looking for a collectors piece like an original 81 for 3000?

Or, do you want a totally rare score of the century VMC 81 for $400?

Just a reasonably priced square top. They don't pop up much by me or at all.

Was more of a venting since these high price things are what pop up more and more around me.

Cpoinopwarehouse in Martyland pops up with reaosnably priced  squaretops time to time.  not sure what shiping rates would br form Maryland.  But lloyd is fair/  just a suggestion, not aoosicated inanyway

Man cave starter kit... $300

They exist.

I'd go check out this cooler too! http://newjersey.craigslist.org/atq/4477412651.html

Maybe a drive, not sure how far you are: http://longisland.craigslist.org/clt/4480207189.html

This is a decent price for a USS machine: http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/for/4527966018.html

      I also, was looking at your NJ Craigslist. You have the same variety and quantity squaretop machines we all do.

      If the machine looks bad in the picture, better for you. They clean up easily and are pretty simple to refurbish.

      Don't pay a lot of attention to the price, if a machine has been listed for a month with no bites...........well you know what to do.

    

I sympathize with you. I haven't bought a machine in several years.

I don't think I've seen a single upright Coke machine posted in about 2 moths, much less one like I'm looking for. The closest was a Pepsi V90 for $375,
but it did have a 3D sign.


That NEVER happens around here. You might occasionally find a single working arcade machine for about that.

Thank you for the leads; some new some I have seen.

The "mancave one" has been up for awhile and is more of a project than I can take on.

I have a pepsi square top available if you don't mind driving to Long Island, worked before the storm, it got wet and now needs some work to get it going again
