"Reasonable" is cost+repair/replacement+sell vs "dump it for a meager profit".
I would imagine a reasonable price for a compressor is $100+.
I have a talent for finding things at true wholesale.
People in the Smokies will pay more than most,as long as they do not have to fix.
Electrical/mechanical logic/repair comes easy for me,but refrigeration is not one of my talents.
I do not look for or pay for "illegal/slave labor" "deals",but I have investment/time/profit demands.
This is yet another example of why the board should be split up into 2 different groups. One for the hobbyist and the other for the weekend warriors. I am losing interest in dealing with the new people that use the board solely to make money. I used to give free advise because I thought most fellow members actually had a love for collecting old soda machines. Now, many of the new members overwhelmingly seem to be in it for the buck. Not trying to insult anyone as I believe in your right to make as much money as you can. However, I think we may need a site for the people that don't "flip" everything they collect. It's getting old.
American Pickers and American restorations strikes again. They may be responsible for all the new "entrepreneurs"
