Title: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on July 04, 2015, 05:54:16 pm We'll here is this rare machine at least I hope so I was told to buy it if I could so I just bought it today. I may be interested in selling it. I just don't know what it is really worth. I have read some interesting threads here. I would like to know what you all here think. I am thinking of trading this for something I want more than this so if you think you have a interesting trade please PM me with phone number and we can talk. As several of you know on here I don't play games some people play and Im very honest. I love this hobby and this is what it's about the thrill of the hunt and finding stuff you want and letting go of the things for something you really really want???? There are some real nice people here that have helped me a lot.
Thanks Don Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on July 04, 2015, 05:56:54 pm Here are more pics

Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: mygoose101 on July 04, 2015, 06:05:43 pm It's a VERY rare machine. With no sales history at all it would be worth whatever someone is willing to pay. A collector or 7up collector will be your target. I know if it were mine I would want at least 6K.

Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: BONOVOX on July 04, 2015, 07:19:15 pm I was in on the bidding right up to the end
The auction goes so fast... I didn't have time to even think after I made my last bet lol.... I lost out on it for a few hundred. I should have done the phone bidding thing.... instead I was online... lesson learned. Nice pick up! Ed Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: cokecolaman on July 04, 2015, 07:26:37 pm I would love to see a picture of the Serial I.D. tag, if possible....
Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on July 04, 2015, 07:30:40 pm I will post pic of id tag when I can I'm going to pic up in a few days
Don Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on July 04, 2015, 07:34:10 pm Ed I figured you might be bidding on this too I was doing phone bid I have bought from these guys before. I bought some other rare stuff a few months ago they are about 3 1/2 hours from me.
Don Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: BONOVOX on July 04, 2015, 07:44:12 pm I heard from the audio there were 3 phone bidders..... Once I head that, I knew there was going to be fast and furious action on it.
The problem I had (lesson learned) was that when it reached a certain price level, the bid increase for me online was 400, as that is what he auctioneer was calling out, and that's what was listed... there was no option for me to bid it up 100 at a time... again, lesson learned,... should have done the phone bidding was well. Glad someone here got it! Ed Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: crackerman_don on July 04, 2015, 08:01:13 pm Yes I did internet bidding one time and yes it does jump quicker than phone,bidding or on site bidding as I was going $100 at a time I slowed him down at the end hard to here on phone.

Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: GreenMo on July 04, 2015, 09:09:55 pm I know a guy who has one and was offered 10K. He did not sell it.
Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: Lincoln22 on July 05, 2015, 07:26:42 am The vmc 7up 88 is a nice size, is scare in existence, and has an appealing appearance. However, it is solely my belief it cannot yield more than its much more appealing popular brother machine , the vmc 81. I know coca cola 88's are tough to come by too. Bottom line, a rarity like your machine has limited appeal, rarity alone doesn't equate to exceptional value, but a 7up machine collector out there has been hunting for a vmc 7up 88 for a long time and may be willing to put up some good money! Nice acquisition! Like the machine :biggrin:
Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: MoonDawg on July 05, 2015, 08:58:18 am I had a pepsi 88 sitting next to a Vendo 80 for a while, a great time for design comparison.
The V-80 has the very rounded top with a rather square looking coin door, the 88 is opposite (plus a crank handle) and I think it looks so much better! Would love to see the Coke, Pepsi and 7up, all lined up together. :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Well I sold my gold fillings and bought this VMC 88 7 UP machine !!!!!! Post by: ld26 on July 05, 2015, 09:36:05 am Congrats Don! That is a sweet looking machine, can anyone guess how many are out there?
