Popperette and U-Pop-It

[Sodak Bob]

After much consideration and coaching from the wife - I am thinking of selling my popcorn machines.  I kinda fell into both of them and I am running out of room for my soda machines.  The popperette is 100% complete and original.  The U-Pop-it is 99 % complete and all original.  Brian hooked me up with a guy who has my missing actuator arm, and once complete - I think I'll go the Ebay route.  I hope i don't regret it, but I think I will test the waters and if they don't sell - I guess I was meant to keep them.   I return from Canada on Oct 10th and hope to have the missing arm by then.....   Any thoughts ?  Or am I crazy for even thinking about it ?

        No Bob, you're not crazy. After all, who needs 2 popcorn machines...who even NEEDS 1 popcorn machine? ( I do)! 

        I really don't have an answer for you but I always thought I liked the Popperette best, until you pictured them side by side. Now I think I favor the looks of the U-pop-it better.     Anyone else care to express an opinion?

Bob,

Did u get the manual i sent you? I found the coin reject button in my pile of stuff. So do u need the bat wing? Wish the best on the sale.

I had a popcorn machine once. It was years ago and I thought I didn't really have the room for it, so I sold it. I miss that machine.

I'd sell the wife instead.

Bob,
I'll give you $50 for the Popperette - that will double your investment - right?
I too have been thinking I need to sell some items - so little time and too much stuff!
Good luck with the sales!

Bob,

I too am partial to the looks of the U-Pop-it!  I don't yet have a popcorn machine, and would like to one day.  I know how the wife can suggest the sale of things, and it seems the best to do.  Perhaps she would be happy with the profit realized from the sale of one of the two and allow you to keep the other (provided you actually use one of them).  If they just sit collecting dust, then the pestering to sell seems to get louder!  I know my wife is ok with the working things, but gets annoyed with the things that just sit and don' t work.  In the long run, do what you feel is best and don't look back!

Or, I can come pick them both up from you and get them out of your hair!     Save you the trouble of selling them!

Greg - That is exactly where I am sitting on the machines.  Everyone loves my soda and candy machines because they are used every day. The Popperette  works fine, but i just don't use it.   The U-Pop-It needs electrical work before it can be tried out -   In my opinion - they should both be restored and I just don't know if I want to turn that corner....   When I do list them, I will be on the high end, that way I will not have any regrets, and if they don't sell - that's ok too..   I guess I'll cross that bridge later - first  - I have a big walleye swimming around up north with my name on it !!!

I would sell the one you like least first... you get your money and your happy/content then you still have one.
later on if you still feel you don't need any popcorn machines sell the other....
I prefer the U-Pop-It over the other also.... looks like it should be in a old theatre hallway
next to a Coke (or Pepsi) machine.....
 but that's my 2 cents.... sell one at a time... best of luck!

either way bob, your in a good position, you have both of the best machines out there, figure which one you'd miss the most and keep it for now and sell the other.
I have a popperrette and love it ,use it almost every weekend for a few bags of popcorn for foot ball game snack.. would like to have the u pop it too, but can't justify having both.. but would be fun.
