    1. I wonder how many they have sold…it’s not situated on the outskirts of a desert is it?

    2. Looks to be Canada. It appears to say $93.95, but I think you converted $98.95. $93.95 CAD at current exchange rage would be ~$69 USD. It’s probably supposed to be $3.95 ($2.89 USD).

      I like the idea that someone fat fingered in a 9 at the beginning of the price, but I’m not sure that’s how they actually work. I’m not sure how the latest machines work, but a pre-card reader version of that machine (20+ years ago) just had 2 buttons for raising and lowering the price $.05 at a time. So someone would’ve had to hold the up button a long time to get to almost $100.

      It could be a contract dispute thing, depending on where this is. The vendor could be in the process of renegotiating the distribution contract and the venue set the price to the max the machine allows to prevent people from using the machine in the meantime.

    4. The funny thing is, they’ll check it after a month and scratch their heads as to why nobody bought any.

    5. That better be a gotdamn Gold Yoda Star Wars Phantom Menace promotional can from 1999 for that price.

      There was a pop machine in Vancouver that was $20 a can. Had a crack rock taped to the bottom of each can. Total fluke that a cop went to buy a pop and got pissed off and nosy.

    8. What if it’s like a scam. You order your drink like usual but when you tap to pay you get charged with an irreversible $73 charge and you never realize.

    9. As a vending machine owner. I would jack the price up to a weird number if the slot was broken but still vending to prevent people from using it until it’s fixed.
      Mind you, mine only takes bills and coins. This has a card reader added to it.

      But in this case, this is a standard error if you check the user manual.

    10. I work on these there is a problem with the mother board more than likely and it can’t keep it memory. When power is lost and restored it defaults all the prices to this…. FYI u still can’t buy anything
