Sounds like the going rate for a rough, all original, is $3,000. Sooner or later as these things rise in price, someone is going to make a fake 7up door. That's why I would want to start out with an all original machine with the tag.

Yep, the lack of Original machines can drive unscrupulous people to do fake machines...remember the RC Cola "made-in-China" "patch panels"  that converted quite a few generic 81's into some bogus machines, that all they do is dilute the value of the originals, just like all of those "fantasy" VMC 44's floating around out there that were billed as "rare machines"...

Educating ourselves to our hobby is a good thing in discussions like these here at SMC.

I was watching it too. Did not place a bid though. Thought it would go for around $400, it went for me!!! I had a really nice 7up 81 that I bought for 5k 4-5 years ago and sold it about 2 years ago for $6500. Boy do I miss it! They are nice! In fact the one I had is picture on our site's homepage. Jim put it up there. They are rare! Hope someone on here got the door!

Sadly, the tag can be reproduced, and the dies to stamp the serial number, etc are available for $20.  Knowledge is the key

My thoughts exactly.  It would be good to educate yourself on the originals and know what to look for if something turns up.

There's no feedback left from the sale yet. i would imagine not for a few weeks if the item has to be shipped via carrier.
And we're assuming the seller will leave feedback
