Title: Vendo 81C on ebay
Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 13, 2006, 03:15:13 am
Its weird how it works something unusual is brought up and wow it pops up on ebay!

Anyone know any history on these "C" machines? Im guessing they came out before the "B" model as the have a coke medallion is green like the "A" model. I wonder how many are really out there? Glen do you own one or have you in the past? You are the first person to tell me they exist in 5 years and sure enough it pops up on ebay.

Auction #150058568699

If the only difference is the stainless steel, even if I was an ardent collector I think I could live
without having one.

Are you going to bid Joey??

According to the big binder manual I have, the "B" and "C" use a lot of the same parts. It has the green medallion (as Joey said), but also has the large embossing like the "B" and "D" models.

My guess is that Vendo had 81A parts (cabinets without trim, bottle doors and/or medallions) left over and just mix-matched a "C" model after the "B" model was introduced. Unless there is any kind of flyer or salesman pamplet out there identifying the different 81's available, I doubt we will ever know for sure.

Must have been a short run transition between the B and D
hense the “C” model code...New embossed doors yet all the
B left overs...... maybe a year run or shorter.... Bet there have been
C made into 2-tones D and some didn't even know it......

Well, did anyone here get it?   It went for $5700.00.

Is it really worth that much?
You could buy three unrestored A,B, or D machines for that price. A "C" machine could be fabricated easily from parts.
Sleepwalk has got to be happy - he probably got it for a normal price and didn't have to do anything to it.

Buyer identities are hidden so it is my guess that Sleepwalk is not only the seller............but the high bidder as well!

I agree with glen. Private auctions are a clear give away of someone shill bidding.

Have you noticed this "Bidder1" thing on ebay now. Where the ID of the bidder is hidden. Anyone know what this is about??

Sleepwalk always keeps bidder identities secret. I don't think I have seen one of his auctions that isn't.

I read somewhere that Ebay is going to start hiding the buyers ID on all auctions.  I think they may be already doing this on Ebay motors auctions.

That is going to open the door for shill bidding.

Reading the bid history, the price jumps way off the $2000.00 mark on the last day, probably by 2 alias bidders.   If the winner flaked, why wouldn't he sell it to the next highest bidder?  

      
       The E-bay name "Sleepwalk" has a lot of posative feedbacks which is good for his buisness.  Even so, I don't know about anyone else but if I had the one negative feedback that he has....................................................I would change my name  :D

I'm with you Glen. Would have to start all over again. Guess there is a moral there. If you
buy Porn off Ebay make sure you pay the seller.

That's cheered up my day. I thought I had a few problems.
