Ever been so mad you missed a deal of a lifetime? I just got off the phone with guy and he really sold it for $350... My heart sank....

Maybe it will turn up in one of our circles. At least you'll know what the guy has in it. Very little consolation, but........

I was at work scrolling the ads and immediately called him. I couldn't help but tell the guy he sold himself very short. I asked if he had any other soda related items and he said no. I'm assuming he may have come into ownership of it and had no interest in the machine. Still makes me mad I didn't see the ad sooner...

If it was a 81 yes but it's  110. Huge difference . Still a great deal at $350 though.

Yes Sir you are correct on the 110, I was just excited on the machine. I rarely ever see any Pepsi machines down here in Tx period and I make all the swapmeets in the DFW area. I need variations in my machines besides 7up, Dr Pepper and Coca Cola.

I made a run after it earlier this morning but was told there was a long line !! And I didn't tell the guy it was worth more ! Just said I give him what he asked
But did ask why he didn't take down the add . Said he didn't have the cash in hand yet . I had a friend that was ready to pounce on it for me that was local

Things like this keep the frenzy going. Now you will need to score something soon in order to satisfy the addiction.

I too saw the Pepsi 110 on craigslist. I called at 8:30 am and he said he already had a buyer, but that I would be second on the list (always need to check before I go to bed).  Not sure why he was selling for $350 but it looked like a great machine.  Yes they're big, but I don't have a crank machine with bottle door.  I kept hoping for a call back saying the first deal fell through. I'm glad to see other Texans on this website, Sometimes I get the feeling most of the members are from up North (won't sat yankee).  :smile:
