Interested in buying your first soda machine? 

     Do your research and shop around.  Buy a price guide on pop machines or ask a reputable dealer.  Ask lots of questions and if you don't plan on vending out of it, then the often missing parts on the inside are not as important.  A machine missing parts can be usually bought alot cheaper and will still display very well in your home or office and no one will know the difference. 

      Buy something in your budget.  Don't overspend on a machine, unless you know it is rare.  Buy something you like and not something that is 'popular'.  If you like Coke, don't buy a pepsi just because it is a popular style.  If you like all brands then knock yourself out.  Remember, if they made it, it will be on eBay at sometime, no matter how few or rare it is, so be patient and you'll find one. 

       Look for auctions that end at strange times or days, this is the best way to get better deals.  If you have questions or concerns on a purchase, email me anytime.  Goodluck and Happy collecting.
