Lead Vintage 80's Snack/Candy Machine Nice & Working
Description
This item is consigned from the collection of Jeff. While I'm not into vending machines per se, this one is really unique, nostalgic, and fun to use. I've never seen one like this before nor has John. It brings back memories of other vending machines I used as a kid in the way it looks - but mostly in the way it works with the pull-out selector knobs. It's the kind of machine a small business would have back in the day like a service garage or a barber shop. It's all mechanical and doesn't use any electricity. (Please watch the video for more details on how it operates). It works great and I did some more preventative maintenance on the moving parts (cleaning and lubing) even after the video was taken. This is actually a wall mount unit that has the optional base attached. The base has some worn/rust spots, but isn't too bad and could always be repainted. It has both original keys. All products will be removed from the machine just so you know. It holds five different items that are roughly the size of a candy bar, and each item has a capacity of 12 for a total capacity of 60 items. The price is fifty cents and I don't think it can be changed, so this is really a cool novelty item for your home arcade/rec room - but it should make a nice looking and even useful addition. The engineering on this is quite impressive after looking at how it works. It also has a small footprint (only 18 & 1/2" wide) so it doesn't take up much room. This is the kind of item we will most likely never have again - so keep that in mind if you are interested.

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.
