Title: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: mygoose101 on May 18, 2019, 04:29:01 pm I've been looking around for this machine for a while without much luck. Can either be an 8 plus original, fully restored, or even an amateur / older restoration as long as it displays nice. Not looking to set any records as far as purchase price but will pay what I would consider affair market price for the right machine. Wanted for personal collection only. Please message me if you have one that you might consider selling or have any leads on one. Thanks so much.

Title: Re: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: Slapshot42 on May 19, 2019, 09:37:51 pm We saw in all time low in early January when one sold for like $4200. It was not exactly what Ray is describing but let's just say many wouldn't pony up as much as they would of in like 2009-2013.
Title: Re: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: mygoose101 on May 20, 2019, 12:30:58 am I would break it down as follows, assuming the machine is complete, vending, cooling, and with correct VMC bezel...
Needing restoration: $4000-4500 Garage Original: $4500-6000 Nice Original 8+: $6000-9000, maybe even $10K, depending how nice. Amateur/Older restoration: $5000-7500 Grade 1 Restoration: $9000-12000 Something like that, give or take. But what do I know... It's a tough machine, always has been. Not a whole lot of sales history. Title: Re: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: MCarter on May 20, 2019, 09:10:26 am I know of one that is for sale. Probably around $5000
Title: Re: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: Ltransam on May 21, 2019, 09:52:24 am I agree with Mygoose101 on this (Garage Original: $4500-6000) As I have a really very nice decent displayable Bottler's/Distributor's repaint (Like 90%) but not the Embossing or the Green Trapezoid . I have more then $6000 in it but if I sold it at this time id probably take $6000 for it because of the market . Title: Re: VMC 7up 81 Wanted Post by: coke_and_stuff on May 22, 2019, 05:55:16 pm I paid a pretty penny for my nice original 7up 81, the 4 others I’ve sold did $6500-7500 each.
