I am interested in VMC generic ??

Thanks Donnie

I will post pics on ebay this week. Look it over and if you're interested let me know. Thank you.

       It appears Don is interested, at your price, and without a picture.......so why are you listing it on E-bay?   :upside:

Here is another one:

Is this the same one that Ezra is talking about?

If there are (2) of them available I will call this seller but if only one than Donnie you are first!  I have a contact 30 minutes away that can pickup.  I would be very interested!!

It's gone deleted posting!!

I want in on it also but only if there's a 3rd. Donnie 1, Jared 2, and me 3. :biggrin:

Mine is in fresno. I will post to ebay this week when I can get decent pics. Very busy.  Don will have dibs and then move it down the line here if for some reason he wants to pass. 

I'm confused...

How does Don have first dibs if it gets put on ebay?  Why don't you two work a deal out and save the all the fees and crap?

        You're not the one who is confused Marvin............

It looks like Ezra will be listing it on e-bay either way with I'm a summing a Buy It Now for $3,500 or maybe more to cover his fee's. Once listed it will be a race to see who clicks on the Buy It Now first. In the meantime Ezra and Donnie will be working on their own deal for $3,500 as that was the price promised to Donnie. If that deal is made then Ezra quickly need to rush to his computer to end the auction before someone hits Buy It Now. If that doesn't happen and some buys the machine through e-bay and it's also promised to Donnie then Ezra will be short 1 machine to fill 2 orders. Or, Donnie can pass on the machine, it could sit on e-bay and Ezra will still own his generic 81 7up. So...what is so confusing about that?

Don is actually number two in line. I know i said Don has dibs but I checked the time stamps and I received a pm 45 minutes prior to his post. I will work this out with the two of them.
It then goes Jared then Ray.

Those darn time stamps. They always have to ruin everything. At least we can all still see it once it hits ebay.

If you're questioning me ask jim the owner he can look into people's accounts and at their PM.

Not questioning you at all Ezra. Either way, we can see machine on ebay. All good.

I will get pics to don, ziadan, and jared before ebay. If all three say no, unlikely, I will send you pics too Ray.

Are the generic s hard to come by. How many were made?

They rarely pop up, but I have just as many generic serial numbers as I do Pepsi numbers. I thought they were rarer than they are. I guess people just hoard them.

I've seen  probably twice as many pepsi 81s as generic 81s in the last 25 years.

Same here..... Usually 8-10 Pepsi 81s to 1 Generic 81.

I didn't know the ratio was that great. I would have thought it was more like 50/50 but I guess not. So if I had a nice original Pepsi and a nice original generic which one would bring in a higher dollar?

I would guess the Generic, but they are probably close... depends on how the Generic was painted. I would give more for a nice Generic painted as a DP vs. a Pepsi 81.

My buddies very nice bottling plant repaint DP did $6200 last year on ebay, It was a killer Machine.

I remember that one. Very nice machine
