These are all the photos i have at this point. Wondering what something like this is worth before i lowball the guy. He wants $400 bucks for it, but it doesnt run. The lid will have to be replaced, no major dents, but a full resto will be needed. Not sure what the motor/ compresser will need to get running or how much that will cost to fix yet. Anyways, a little history on the RC sliders if anyone knows any, and what something like this is worth would be great.

Paid $350 for mine several years ago. Mine is embossed, which this one doesn't look to be. Also, mine was working great and has the slider rack. $400 is way too much for a generic (non-embossed) slider missing it's slider rack and is not working.

If it doesn't run, it is most likely a simple wiring problem. If it runs but does not cool it may be a major problem to stay away from. Coin mech and cap catcher are worth $200, so that would be my limit although he may never be offered that much from anyone who doesn't understand these machines.

I wouldn't go more than $200.
I paid 250 for a embossed working pepsi slider missing one lid stop.

Thanks for the info! I knew 400 had to be too much, but seeing as the Coin Changers are going for about half that alone, I wasnt sure. I am going to go look at it tomorrow i think. Is there any trouble spots or other things to look for on these that would considerably affect the value? I know the lids are expensive to replace and i know this machine doesnt have the bottle track.

Point out all the reason why it's worth 150~200 and not the $400 he thinks he can get from you. let him know you had some of the experts in the field concur . In the game of collecting knowledge is everything

And politely leave your contact information. When he gets no offers at $400, he may call you back to unload it

No Bottle Rack a $150 item and the cooling or the wiring or both dont work , The compressor work Johnie & Eric At global will tell you $450 - $500 which would cover the wiring. plus it is a plain jane machine it is not imbossed and to be honest I think $150 is to high maybe more like $100 tops. |

Just heard back from the guy again, and yea, its not embossed. Been in his family for 40 years(emotionally attached), hasnt worked in the time he has possessed it.
I think i am going to pass and keep looking for a more desirable machine at a better price. No way this guy takes 100 bucks, and i dont see taking on a project that needs this much work unless its something i can see myself owning for awhile.
Thanks again for the help! If anyone else wants a hack at it, I'm in central MN. Oddly two people in my neck of the woods have RC machines like this for sale. The other has a slightly different logo, runs, but is missing the catcher, slide and coin mech.

Signguy,
I am in St Cloud MN. I may still try and negotiate with these guys. If i can get them cheap enough, when i do find my slider to restore, i will probably need the parts. For whatever reason, I havent found a whole lot of these for sale in my neck of the woods. I suppose i will have to start hunting em down.
I will PM you for your info, I checked out your website, and (like many others i am sure) fell in love with that orange crush slider you sold. Very cool!
