I can't find one for less than $3000 in my area...I would have jumped at that. Don't forget to post the pictures as you go along.

I think you did great!
I paid $100 more for mine - Very clean inside (pics after cleaning); however, the front door is pretty bashed in and bowed out. First machine that I could turn all four feet by hand as soon as I got it home!
Congrats on the machine. Also, I submitted a nice PDF scan of the VMC-44 manual to the Downloads section a while back. Check it out!

Already printed out the manual, thanks for posting it Collecture.

On another note, the seller has 185 6.5oz bottles and 8 crates along with it for sale, he wants $50 for it all.  Is that a decent deal, I really have no idea

       You will need them. They work better than the new 8 oz bottles and you can fill 10 of them with one 2 liter bottle of Coke.

Thats what I do for my 44,, I also fill them with rootbeer and orange pop for the kids.. they love soda out of a bottle in the summer time... cheaper too as I buy a 2 liter of generic Orange pop for .99 cents...

There are many places online selling bottle caps and cappers.  When I used to brew beer, I used Williams Brewing, www.williamsbrewing.com.
