I was bidding on all three machines but was out at $10,000. What was the difference between the three? They all looked like in great original condition but $8000 between lot 280 and lot 290...wow! I guess the first RC machine buyer got a deal, huh?

Seeing a machine in person can be much more revealing - pitting of the chrome/dents/etc. I think they said working condition on all three, but that is an open ended statement.
I did notice one of the RC81 machines had a "2 nickels or one dime" decal, but there was a change-giver mech on it.

Wow! So much for a bad market! The rare 81's are still bringing in some cash! Wish I would have kept my 7up 81 now. When I bought it I paid $4500, sold for $5200. Man, that was 3 years ago!

$6900 (inc. B.P. of $1150)

These type auctions always seem to bring more than most other venues like eBay, etc.. Same with the Victorian Casino auctions - deep pocket bidders always.

I've got a couple more to bid on but they are un-restored but look decent. A nice un-restored 81-D, lot 208, went for $2100+ 10% BD... so Im hoping to snag at least one or two. We will see. I might just wait until next Fri. to pick one up in the lot. That way, no Buyers premium. Just Gas!

I think I may look for an RC cooler, a good welder  and a generic VMC. Or win the lottery.
