Any pictures of it Ed for funzies??

Not sure if this is a machine in my neck of the woods, but if so, I've seen it. It's in great shape. Owner wouldn't let me take pictures, though.

      This guy owns a great collectable and won't share?  Personally, I don't even want to see his machine now!

Well, please don't get mad at someone that might not even be the person you think.... there are more than 1 7up 88 machines out there ya know 

Like I said before, his  machine, his collection, his price..... I asked him if it were for sale... he didn't ask me if I wanted to buy it.

I have no hard feelings against him or anyone that sets the price they want for their machine... I just started this thread to see what people here thought of that machine is all.
Life is too short to be mad at people   

 

Although, 11k is a bit silly in my opinion

Well, he said it wasn't for sale, then bug him for a "go away" price and get a "go away" price, nobody can complain.

Don't you guys have anything that isn't for sale that people keep asking about? I know a dealer near me that is persistent and doesn't take no for an answer.... I throw out the dumbest prices to get him to go away, if he were to actually pay that, I would let it go.

I don't think I have anything that someone would want that much 

[BONOVOX]

lol.... none of my family or friends even care for the things that I have.....
My dad told me you would have to GIVE him money to take one of my machines away 

Just imagine if you travelled back in time and went to a greasy gas station, and told the guy working there that one day, that Vendo 81 over there in the corner will be re-painted (not sure if restored was even thought of back then lol) and then placed in the living room of a home.   He would think you were nuts    That's the generation of my dads mindset I guess.... hardworking guy all his life that had no attachments to things like this.

I'm not mad at anyone. I'm fully aware there's more than one. I just asked if it was the one I'm familiar with as I've seen it, know the seller, and was willing to shed some insight and try and help you.

Don't get me wrong either... I'm not mad at anyone... I just want something that I know I can't have lol

I thought someone would comment on that link, I'm sure the members on this form have North America covered when it comes to vintage soda machines. LoL
