Do machines usually sell for more money at the show? I just picked up a Pepsi VMC 88 that is in really good original condition. IT needs restored but it is rust free. Do you all think it would sell better in Chicago? I don't have much in it but I would like to sell it for as much as possible.

Hard to say Josh, last show I was looking at 2 pepsi 88's complete but in need of resto with Rod from funtronics. I believe he bought both for 500.00  could sell the coin mechs and make the money back. The only reason you might get more at the show is because there are people there specifically looking for machines.

Just got a room at the Hampton Inn and excited for the show.  I'm picking up 3 machines on my way to the show so will prob. arrive late on Thurs. night. Up at 5am on Fri. morning for breakfast and on to the lot for some good deals. Hope to meet some of you there Friday morn. Should I bring my snow boots?

Wow !!! Maybe we'll have a show where we won't have to crack out the long johns. I have been talking to a lot of people, and it sounds like there is going to be a lot of good things at this show. Now I remember what it was like at Christmas when I was a kid and counting the days.

Just wondering what the plans are for Friday night for those of us staying on for Saturday ??
