Title: Re: I can dream 7up. Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on August 20, 2015, 11:08:19 am WOW $8000.00 for that machine? mine is a near mint original, that i was asking $8500.00 for. Silly person shouldn't have tried to low ball at 7000.00

Post by: mygoose101 on August 23, 2015, 06:35:33 pm If you notice the 8 holes on the face of the machine, I'm sure some other soda company got a hold of it and marked it as their brand and painted the machine red. I guess it could have Coke but they already had their own machines so who knows.

to service stations or grocery stores, beat the competition's price, then either decal the machines, put a sign over the embossing, swap it out with one of their machines then take the competitors machine and paint it up as their own.... Sounded crazy. He had some great stories. |
