Lead NICE newer Dixie Narco PRINGLES vending machine
Description
Now this is a really cool, hard to find vending machine. It's a super nice PRINGLES vending machine!!!! Can you think of anything cooler than that? I sure can't unless I think really long and hard. Then a few things come to mind. But let's not think long and hard right now and just revel in the idea of how cool a giant 700 pound machine that does nothing but vend small Pringles cans is!!!!! Ok, got the feeling? Yes, it is really cool. When I saw this I just had to have it, whatever the cost. And I hope you feel the same way...lol. This is a vendor made by the Number 1 name in vending machines - Dixie Narco. It actually uses a mechanism identical to the one they put in their pop machines. Just sized to vend the pringles cans. Plus this machine does not have a cooling unit, although it does have space for one to be added if you ever wanted to convert the machine. It has a bill acceptor and coin acceptor / changer installed. I don't know if they work or not. I never ended up using this thing. I just bought it and stored it for about 10 years because that is the kind of stupid thing I do. I buy giant heavy objects and then put them in my way and walk around them until I get tired of it and decide to get rid of them. This one did that very well - better than most in fact. But in all seriousness, this is a really cool item that would actually probably make a lot of money if you are in the vending business, unlike me. You would need to put pringles in it and then set it up where people could actually see and use it, and then you would make a killing. I think I've seen these before in amusement parks, but nowhere else. Makes sense, as they have a picture of roller coasters on the side. My guess is that these were made custom for an amusement park chain. And that would explain how I found it actually - it was with an operator that I was buying games from and he probably supplied some amusement park and that's why he had it. Anyway, I'm sure this could be shipped anywhere in the US using NAVL. Might be a little more than an arcade due to more weight, but I doubt it would be much more. They seem more concerned about size than weight at NAVL. And it's about the same size as a large upright arcade game.

Description
This is the Fifth Arcade Game Auction from our overflow warehouse in lovely downtown Atlanta, IL. NO BUYERS' PREMIUMS! NO HIDDEN FEES! After collecting (hoarding) games since about 1987, we have amassed a large and unique collection of thousands of classic games. This collection has given birth to Arcadia, Pinball Paradise, and the Route 66 Arcade Museum in central IL. Despite ambitious future expansion plans, we still have more games than we need (and not enough time) so we have decided to make them available to the public for the first time. Many collectors have seen our legendary warehouses and wondered when this stuff would be made available for sale. Some may have even pondered the idea of our inevitable death and the following estate sale. Well, the wait is over. We are going to start letting them go, even while we are still alive! We can't take 'em with us! The majority of these games are "as found" from our countless warehouse raids over the last 35 years. While some are in rough condition, there will be a lot of rare titles that haven't been seen at an auction in decades. Some are fully working. Some are repairable and/or restorable. Some are only good for parts. ALL are honestly photoed, described, and videoed so that bidders can see everything possible to make a good bidding decision. These items have come from a wide variety of sources so look at each game you are interested in carefully with fresh eyes. Just because one game is a water damaged junker doesn't mean the next one is.
All items are sold as-is, where is. Must be paid for in full before removed from the building. Buyers can arrange a pickup time anytime before December 30th. We will gladly help load. Anything not picked up by December 30th will be considered abandoned and be re-sold at the next arcade auction. Sales tax of 7.75% collected on anything picked up or shipped to addresses in IL, unless a tax-exempt certificate is provided (yes, they raised our sales tax rate by 1% on July 1st, 2023). There will be no handling fee for pickups or shipping large freight items as long as you make all arrangements and all we have to do is meet the shipper for pickup. We will not palletize items, so we recommend North American Van Lines for shipping. NAVL Shipping quotes can be obtained us or by you by emailing coinop@beltmann.com and giving them a description of the item, the pickup zip code (61723) and your delivery zip code. We get no better pricing than you do, so get quotes yourself, or feel free to ask us to get quotes if you prefer. You can also call NAVL at 800-959-8880. You can email us at vintagevideogames.com@gmail.com. We will be happy to arrange shipping of games and other large items for you, but for a $10 handling fee (our time is precious). Regarding parts and other non-game items: some extremely difficult-to-package items may have a higher handling fee, and this will be disclosed in the description of that item. If there is no handling fee mentioned in the description, it will be the default $10. For this fee, shipping of UPS-able items will be well packaged and shipped for you via UPS, USPS, or FedEx, whichever is cheapest. Shipping charges for these items must be prepaid by you. If the item is a large freight item, we will make all arrangements for you for this $10 handling fee. You will be responsible for actual shipping charges in addition to the handling fee. Shipping charges for freight items will be C.O.D. (If NAVL allows. I had a few cases recently where they told me they no longer allowed COD and in those cases, shipping charges will need to be prepaid).
Your bid must adhere to the bid increment schedule.
