Getting rid of Vendo 44

[bmw90w]

Hey guys I have been out of the game for too long once again and have a few projects piling up Im ready to get rid of. I haven't really kept up with values for a few years and was looking to get your opinion. I have a vendor 44 that needs a bottom pan welded in as it had some beltline rust. Otherwise the cabinet is in great shape. Someone did a crappy job of primer on it, so I was going to have it blasted and repainted after the pan was welded in. It is complete and it cools and I even have the paint to go with it. Assuming all of this I was gonna ask for $1800 which is what I have in it. Do you guys think thats fair or should I hold on to it till I can get my money back?! Thanks for your help!

Hi Terry,

Can you provide some pics? That will help us determine value.

Not much to see other than the cabinet and how nice it is outside of the primer which needs to be blasted. Everything else is disassembled and the rack is also shown. A little dirty but not bad.

Here is the rack

The 44 looks to be in decent shape from what I can see in the photos.  In its current (dis-assembled) condition it will appeal more to a machine restorer than your typical home owner looking for a vintage machine.  That said, I think if you "parted" the machine and sold the bits off you could get 1800 out of it.  The cooling unit, bottle stack, coin mech and coin door will all bring good money.

Ill list it for $1800 then thanks!
