Ken,

I agree with RC.  I went back to a seller a month after he first listed a couple machines.  Found out he had not really pursued selling them but still needed to.  He was much more interested in negotiating a price rather than relisting the machines and starting from scratch.  I got what I thought was a pretty good deal.  In the pic you posted, it looks like that 110 is in a store room with a pile of dirty clothes, a broken lamp, and one old shoe.  In other words, its not the focal point of their rec room so I doubt they have a ton of emotional attachment to it.  Possibly just looking to clear out some space and make some money at the same time.  A little patience up front and some follow up shortly thereafter and you might find yourself with a new machine.  So don't give up and good luck!

I think $400 $600.00 is a fair price. I bought a Vendo -110 in June for $500.00.

If they do get back to you and able go look at it I would make sure to check to make sure the door isn't sagging to bad.  They have a tendency since the doors have wood doors.  I had read of one remedy on here was to shim the hinges with a couple of washers?  That may help.

I got very lucky mine was owned by the same owner for 34 years.  And before that it spent it's life indoors and a fire station in the greater Seattle area.



Good Luck..

Thanks.  If I can just get ahold of them I can find out those bits of information prior to driving 3 hrs to purchase...unless they want to give it to me for a steal sight unseen.  I'll keep you guys posted on how it turns out!
