If Rick gets 30k for his remake hot dog stand looks like the demand of the Victor C-31 is going up. 30k for a remake, seriously? Or is this a joke on us?

If it was the cooler I sold him he paid $500 for it if I remember correctly. I guess shipping could have made up for the other $500. Its too bad he cut up that cooler. It was a fantastic condition rust free cooler. It had spent its life in a rural high school in southern western ohio. When I got it they had just stopped using it the year before. They used it in the concession stand at the football field since new.

I know you gotta make a profit but come on, 7k and asking 30k, I have a fear of his show really affecting our market. Sure the cost of machines could go up which can be a really good thing for some people. But those who just enjoy it as a hobby not looking to make a buck, could really get hurt by this. Granted he did put some engineering into it so thats worth making some money but not gouging people with a 23k profit. When he said it's a semi-authentic hot dog stand I lost my cool. It's no where near semi-authentic, it's a remake not anything close to authentic. I don't got a problem with guys cutting up machines to make some cool stuff, but you gotta be honest with the buyer about it. Just my 2 cents

Personally, I know nothing about the Victor Kooler and think its an ugly beast. My issue would be that it isn't
the "Real McCoy" and not neccesarily the profit he is making on the deal.

If some fool wants to part with that sort of money without doing their homework then that's their problem.
However, its deceitful and completely dishonest to state that it is sometihng it isn't.

Dave, I agree.  Now, all we are going to hear from some one selling a machine is, "I saw them going for $7000 on that TV show."
