I wouldn't think a generic 81 would be worth even what an embossed Coke was worth. Why did it go so high?

It looks like it's all there, but it will need a full restoration. checked out the bids, it looks like two people got caught in a bidding war

I was watching it. It got out of my range a few days ago. I don't see it being worth over $1500.00.

I don't get it either!!
I mean, at that's the price a generic should sell for restored? Would you all not agree?
At that price, it puts a Pepsi, 7up VMC 81 into the 6-7k range in the same shape (badly in need of a resto).
At that price, it puts a RC cola at 30k in any condition! (10x what the generic went for)
That's the way I look at it.....
UNLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone wanted it at any cost (cheaper the better) to turn it into a fake RC cola machine, and sell it for 12k plus!!!!
I can't see any other reason why someone would pay that kind of $$$ on a generic machine in that condition, without having other motives!
Would anyone else agree with me on my points? Am I out of line with my thinking?

If they wanted to turn it into a RC they could have just bought a Coke 81 and save $2000.

Could be shill bidding , could be someone not realizing while "yes, he won a VMC RC 81, he didn't win a VMC RC 81...."
