I think at least $10k if its real and decent...more if its a nice original...can't really tell from the picture.
I'd be interested if you drop out...but I don't want to drive the price up on you.

Purely gut feeling  on my part, but yeah $8-10k.   
I wish you luck. Gives me hope  for finding that one cool item.

I can see a circular imprint on the bottle door where a medallion would have went on the Coke 81's, does that mean anything?

Wow sweet find, wish you the best of luck with it... the last one I seen sell was Loyd's from CoinOpWarehouse and it sold for $8,000 in no time at all and it wasn't as nice, so yeah I'd say 8k to 10k  is definitely the right ballpark ! Hope you get it !

In my opinion this is the only machine where a unrestored version is worth more than a restored version. With that being said I would say $10k +.

All VMC's are like that, only the Vendo's had the medallion,

i was reading the OP and thinking boy i wouldnt have posted this

unless the thread title was "looks whats in my van/truck/garage"


then i got to daves post on page 2 and his good advice too.......


everyone seems to be agreed on around x200 of this being made?

noone but me and the seller would know about til either i had it or

the seller had already knocked me back twice on it and i simply could

not get anywhere near his price

its easy enough to find rough price value equation either here or on

the net

hope you get it and can start another thread with "look whats in my...]

GP


dont think dave or i over here in england are going to be starting either

of these threads soon...............unless you know better dave.............!

That's what it boils down to. Everyone wants to know if I got it.... No. It is way out of anyone's price range unless you're Bill Gates and don't care about money.
