Is an original Vendo 80 in amazing shape not running because of bad wiring worth $800?

I can never get more than 500$ in the past 3 years I have sold clean and working.

I offered $600 but she wouldn't come off of $800. It was a great looking ORIGINAL machine they have owned since 1958 but I couldn't see $800 in a machine if I don't know if it is in working order.
I paid $400 for one in original condition working a couple of months ago. So I just didn't see $800 in it.

Good decision; especially if the machine is not functioning.
If you looked at the machine, were you able to test functionality of the refrigeration system and vending cycle...?

Could not plug in to test anything. I tried to explain to her that if I could test what worked and what didn't I might could offer more $$ but without that I wasn't sure about the vending, coin mech or compressor functions. She said that it was unplugged about 25 years ago when her father had it and she did not know the last time it functioned. It was a beautiful machine though. It was worth $600 to me for just the way it looked.

If it is nice as you say $800 probably isnt a bad deal. the vending mechanics arent that bad on a V80 and the cooling unit also fits other machines so if worst case scenario you needed a unit they arent that hard to come across. Old things are only original once. Once they are restored you can never go back.

All old machines need new wiring and if you take into consideration that stand is worth $200.00, you really got your V-80 for $600.00

it is a nice original, and if the stand is included at that 800.. like Glen said, I'd go for it , sell the stand and you have your 600 nice original..
Chances are if that has been stored in that basement or room where it's at for 25 years.. it's just fine.. jsut change out the main power supply and I'll bet you it fires right up and cools.. the coin mech is electronic on it, and can be replaced pretty inexpensively..
Of course it's easy for us to spend your money, but if your willing to go 600.. 800 isnt thta much of a jump .. or chance it and wait a week and go back with 600 -700 cash? either way I think you'll do fine.

He has consistently asked $1200 (or more) for that machine. I have been watching V80's for a year now....same machines come & go until the sellers finally understand where the realistic price point is (or they get a sucker).

Yes.....has popped up a few times...appears they could not sell at the previous higher price. There is a $1600 V80 on E-bay right now - over priced,,,but listed for the 3rd or 4th time in the last few months. Funny to watch these high listings expire....then reappear. Problem is it makes those with not so nice machines, like the $500 (at least once repainted) V80 on E-bay think theirs is worth more.
As you know, I am looking for a beat up V80 simply for the Sold out lever (pin & spring) and two rear air ducts - so I an all over V80 listings.

Well I offered her $600 and she said she had someone else coming to look at it. If she don't sell it to them I might still have a shot at it. I don't think I would go much more than $600

I might have a spare set of V-80 rear air ducts. I'll try to dig around this week.

I like the machine. It looks real nice for being an unrestored machine. And the Vendo 80s look nice in general. I'd pay $800 for it. Especially if the machine is close by and the rack goes with it.

Hey Glen,
Here is what I got for the 80.
L & R air duct & water fountain cooling coil.
Right air duct has been cut off at the bottom to accomodate water fountain lines (see pic)

Let me know how much you want for the air ducts....my V80 never had the water fountain so I don't need the coil.
Thanks,
Glen
