I just picked this up at the Arcadia coin op show on Friday. It's a coin op popcorn vendor. Appears to be complete and utilizes a coinco coin mech. I've been watching ebay for one of these but they are usually located on the east coast and start around 400.00 plus freight. The original price for this one was set at 699.00, then it was marked down to 499.00, my next trip around the room it was lowered to 299.00. The vendor approached me and asked if I wanted to do a little bartering? He asked "how about trading me the two gumball machines that I had for the popcorn vendor". Hmm.. I had only 45 bucks in the two gumball machines so I jumped at the offer. My only problem was that I didn't have any room left in my truck to haul it home, lucky for me Steve and Sharon Jebb (SodaJerk Works) came to my rescue and hauled the popcorn machine to my house for me. These guy's are great people!!! Steve and Sharon I OWE you one. Thanks again. Petey I left you a pass at the door but you must have got tied up.

You got it, I see them listed in the Pa. area. I had a guy that bugged me for both days of the show wanting to buy it, I told him it wasn't for sale and if I decided to sell it I wouldn't go any less than 400.00. He last full price offer to buy it was in the parking lot as Steve and I were loading it up.
