I might be interested in your quickcold 7up.. i need new lids for mine? are yours embossed top and bottom.
I actually have been pretty busy selling.. I've sold quite a few machines in the last few months, I have orders for some restored machines as well that I have to finish up.
I think it depends on style of machine and who's buying...

Too bad Im not home. I've been trying to buy that quickold from you for forever :) Thats a great machine. If I were back in ohio with a house that machine would be on my back porch in a second! I just really like that machine

Leonard,

I just searched and found your craigslist ad. I think the problem is that you will only sell them as a pair. if you offer them separate I think they will sell easily. They are very different machines that may appeal to different people. Also the normal buyer wont want two machines so you are limiting your buyers only to collectors where selling them individually you can appeal to the average person that just wants an old coke machine. The 7up machine would make a great second refrigerator. That is what I would want it for. If you keep it for about two more years I will buy it :) but please don't keep it just for me:)

 Hi, Josh

           Yea To bad your not here . I sorta agree with you BUT I did'nt think $500 for the pair was out of line since A 23 on average Working $400 - $500 .Just Trying to unload a couple to make room . again I would'nt Have make $10 buck if thay had sold

I agree however if you want to sell them put them on separately. I bet they will sell and you will make some money and they will be out of your way. I have never had any luck selling multiple machines together.
