That's a great looking machine! Nice bottle rack too. It's good to see the Bay Area yeilding some quality machines for a good price!  '<img'>

Wow... looks great and $800 for a working round top must be a great deal

Excellent! However, you may have trouble finding a coin mech that accepts the advertised, 3 cents! ':p'

Thanks Guys!

I thought it was a good deal considering its shape and location, California. The inside of the machine is very clean and functions very well.

The other day I was talking with BaldTops and we both agreed on the down ward trend of the coke machine market. We have noticed that the price, at least on ebay, of several round top machines have fallen over the last year, year and a half. I remember bidding on a Cavalier 72 about 1.5 years ago and losing it to another bidder for 1800.00. At th same time it was very difficult to buy a Vendo 81 or 56 for under 2000.00.

Just the other day a cavalier 72 sold for about 660.00 on ebay.

Any thoughts?? Further insight to the lower market??

I'm thinking the recent holidays and tax season is keeping some people from spending. We'll see what happens after april 15th.

I have found that most of the machines I have sold, have in
some way or another have been purchased for a home remodel.
       So when the housing industry cools, so do re-finance and
re-models. If Coke machine sales slow down, desparate sellers
will drop their prices.
