Cavalier 72 - Sky High Craigslist Price

[SIGNGUY]

I have not problem with people offering stuff at a higher price to more or less "Feel out the buying market". Good for them, if they get a bite... but chances are they will not and prices will drop... but we all would love to get the most for something we are selling if we can?
Give it time,, as others have said.. if he truly must sell it , price will drop.. if he's just fishing.. chances are he'll just keep the line in the water and see what happens.

The problem with this guy is he's asking about 1 1/2 times more than what it's worth. I see this all the time though expecially with large coolers. I think they price them by the pound.

So just out of curiosity, if this thing did cool & vend, what is it really worth?

Not anywhere near $3500, but how much is a reasonably clean, unrestored, working Cav 72 worth?

And while I'm asking a hypothetical question, how much less is it worth if it has the smaller embossing on the door?

I scanned and sent him the page from Jeff walter book and he was actually very appreciative. It turns out that the machine belongs to his wife and that is what she thinks it is worth and he said my email will help with a reality check. Usually when I do this in an email I get chewed out by the owner. It was nice to have actually helped.

I think the 72 is right up there close to the 81 and 56 in disirability. If it isn't it should be. These are multi vend machines and are small in size. I would not take less than $1500 for my 72. I paid around $450
