Is it complete, functioning, and in good shape...?
I personally wouldn't pay more than $400 for decent one.
This was Vendo's cheaper model; kinda like a Chevy Chevette...

I like the Vendo 23, they're beat little machines. And if one were close to the house and priced for less than five hundred dollars, and it were presentable and in good working condition, I would pick it up. But I have to admit, I have a tendency to pay just a little bit too much for machines.

Don't forget to figure in shipping cost when you place your bid and also watch out for that fake bidding stuff that is designed to get you to pay too much for the item.

Good luck!

I'd withdraw my bid if you are paying more than $500 including travel expenses. Patience will pay off if you wait. Many times I got excited about a machine and ended up paying too much only to find one in my back yard for much less. It is a hard (and expensive) lesson to learn!

To each their own, but personally I would not drive 10 hours for a V23.. Patience will pay off if you can wait... but do what you'd like of course,, its' just my opinion.

This machine is at 595.00 and I am no longer the highest bidder. No longer have to worry about with withdrawing bid. Am I missing something or does this guy live next door to the seller. This is crazey. Steve

That's the fake bidding stuff I was talking about. They thought you were hooked and they were trying to get a couple dollars more out of you. At least that is my take.

 Grandpa always told me, if it feels fishy, it probably is. And don't worry, another, better deal, will come along.

good luck

Thanks Dad, I feel a little bit better. I really like this machine and am I am no longer the high bidder.I was alraedy trying to figure out how i was going to get to Pitt. So if this is fake bidding on someones part, what do you mean??. I have a friend who has a VMC 27, right in my home town, maybe I should pursue him. He has had in storage for 30 years. Steve
