I didn't watch live but did check in later and saw the 7-Up & Pepsi 81's went for $5K and the RC sold for $9K

I bid on a few games, which were reasonable , but still over my budget.

The RC was bought by a very good friend of mind who was actually restored it many years ago. He was one of the pioneers in this hobby and his restorations were second to none. This was of course long before all the social media outlets we have now. He was very good friends with Jeff Walters in the 90's. Full circle for him and this machine.

It needs to sell first before there is any return.

The price has to be realistic to sell .

He knows that, just playing the game. When he really wants to see it go, price will drop.
