I just stumbled upon this the other day for those of you interested in a little reading... http://marvin3m.com/arcade/corn.htm (http://marvin3m.com/arcade/corn.htm) Very informative Coin-Op Site! Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: oscar on August 31, 2009, 04:38:17 pm Cool page. Photo credits to M Carter. I think i've heard of that guy.
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: Sodak Bob on September 02, 2009, 09:58:32 am I see the U-Pop-It is at 7 grand and reserve not met... What are these things worth and why are they worth so much more than Popperettes ???
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: Seven181 on September 02, 2009, 12:42:32 pm Looks like some fishy bidding going on. A couple people with no feedback placing bids??
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: sodaworks on September 02, 2009, 01:01:20 pm Brian,
I agree. Three bidder's. 2 with O feedback and 1 with 2 feedbacks. Appears to be price gouging to me. Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: SIGNGUY on September 02, 2009, 02:16:45 pm Definately something screwy about this one... I agree... they are trying to set the price.. hook someone in by saying he look, this is worth 7k or more but I'll let it go to you (some unsuspecting buyer) for 6k... :glare:
I'd say a nice professionally restored one should bring around 4500-5000 .. If someone wants one of these but can't aford the 7k... I'll sell mine for 5k :oh: :biggrin: seriously it is for sale if anyone is interested.. John Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: MCarter on September 02, 2009, 07:12:50 pm Heck if i could get 7K for mine its for sale too. Just kidding !!
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: MCarter on September 02, 2009, 07:21:04 pm Here is another one : 290345975241
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: oscar on September 02, 2009, 07:30:15 pm Buy the second one for $3500 and sell it to the other guy that bid $7000 on the first machine. There are 2 $7000 bidders. $3500 in profit and you wouldn't have to pay shipping. Just have it shipped to the buyer and let him pay for shipping. Somebody better jump on this and then hope and pray the $7000 bidders are not shills.
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: Sodak Bob on September 02, 2009, 08:17:35 pm I've got to get my Popperette listed for 5k before all of the high bidders find a machine !!! :biggrin:
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on September 02, 2009, 08:49:16 pm i believe that second one was listed on ebay several months ago. the auction ended early and was sold locally. i had emailed the seller and that is what he told me.
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: BrianB on September 03, 2009, 06:45:30 am Yes, it was.
I really like the claim that the "Salt Shaker" is original. I wonder if the person that restored it told them that? It's also missing the stainless steel surrounds, aka "Batwings" which will cost around $250. It also has an aftermarket, add-on main power switch located inside the machine on the the cover plate of junction box 1 which means that either they don't have the original power key or they did it for convienience. The Oil Vat solenoid valve is definitely not original either and unless the trashcan is hiding inside (which it sometimes does) it is also missing. The only reason I'm picking at/being a tad negative about this machine is that I get tired of the claim of a machine being "100% restored" when it isn't. Granted, you make the best of a situation. But at least let people know!! Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: mrsoda on September 03, 2009, 08:27:13 am paid 5,000 for mine, that is all they are worth, and mine is real nice,a great job was done on it
Title: Re: U pop it Machine Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on September 04, 2009, 06:19:29 pm so what happened with th u pop it? did it sell? inquiring minds want to know
