Gumball Machine

[shellynne]

I have been watching this item on e-bay - seems a little expensive to me, but I don't have one of those handy-dandy price guides.  It reminds me so much of my Kandy King ....

So, what would be a good offer on this, and is there anyone out there willing to help me with shipping it to Oregon?  And, would the cost to ship be really outrageous?

I know nothing about fair price......but shipping would not be a
problem if seller were break it down into two pieces. The base
looks to be able to remove easily.

The machine is a Belvend Bulk Vendor by Belvend Mfg. C., Inc.  It's from 1953 and the Silent Salesman Too (1995) lists it as worth only $125 with the stand and $75 without.  $300 does seem steep for it.  I think that $200 may be more of a current value.

Is there anyone in the area that would be willing to help me with picking it up and shipping it?  The auction ended with no one bidding, but I thought I might see if he lists it again.
