The seller ID  seems awful familiar. I tihjnk he's a friend of someone here, and was selling a top notch collection? In which case  the 81 was prolly a lot better than the pics make it to be

He is a friend of Moondawg's and he is also a member of SMC. The SS V-80 is a nice looking machine, but I wouldn't pay that amount for it; however, I am happy for the seller and hope this is a sign of good things to come for everyone.

Wow, you guys are brutal. Yes, i just sold this Machine for $2,700. Real seller, real buyer, real auction, etc. And no, I didn't buy my own machine. A SMC member although I don't spend much time on this site. Not quite sure what the big deal is. As all my auctions I describe all items as best as I can and my feedback backs me on that. My price was not set in stone as I included a "best offer" icon. It is a nicely painted machine as stated in the auction, nothing more, nothing less. Picture #2 has a lot of reflections, those are not dents. Looking at my pictures again, not the best and machine looks much better in person. I have been selling soda machines for a long time on e-bay and I have been very fortunate to get some good prices on some of my machines. Don't know what to tell you. I think it's a combination of presentation, my quick response to e-mails, my feedback and my experience. I also advertise that I will ship machines where other sellers won't. That is a huge plus for me. Most of my buyers are not collectors, just someone who wants a machine for there home or game room. If anybody here needs a machine sold, send me a message and perhaps we can work something out. My fees are affordable.

I want to apologize for giving you he&$ on here and in an email about the machine. I did not know you were a member. The pictures looked like the machine was being misrepresented but I know all to well that lighting can be tricky. I just wanted to apologize directly for my actions. There are a lot of people misrepresenting stuff on ebay and I thought you were one of them but I was wrong.

Great to see a strong price realized on a V-80. Hope the trend continues. Congrats!

Just a suggestion. Unless you have inspected a machine in person and found it to be less than advertised don't post.

mygoose101 hope you stay around.

Hey, it's all good, no hard feelings. A little background. Even though I'm a "newbie" on this site with only 44 posts, I'm 43 and bought my first machine at 23, 20 years ago, a restored Cavalier 96 from a closing Sharper Image for $1,000. I had no idea what it was so I found Moondawg, yes Glen we've know each other for 20 years now. He was the one who told me the model and I was hooked ever since. Over the past 20 years I have owned 100's of machines and have fully restored about 30. I would have put my restored machines up with anyones with the exception of Sleepwalk as I never was a "professional". I'm just trying to do my part here in California to keep the hobby going as it seems to be losing a little steam over the past few years.
