Hey tell this guy you have a “Coke” you'd trade for the “Nesbitt's” machine....
The word Coke seems to be gold no matter if they collect or not...

While some slept others waited impatiently for the word........did he get it or did he not.........? Here's hoping you do.

sorry to keep you guys hanging... ended up going to a swap meet up in Grand rapids MN Saturday.. Found out about it Friday Evening and buddy and I talke the wives into letting us go, so up at 2:30am! and on the road by 3AM for the 3 hour drive. I didn't get back till late last nite.. picked up a Nice Tokhiem pump, A small stainless Coke Picnic Cooler and a nice 1940's US Tires Sign... Photos will follow later on another post.

BACK to the 75 dollar Vendo 81... I did talk with guy on Friday nite... Let's just say he is not the most ambitious guy in the world which is good cause I don't think he's spending hours researching this machine he has.
Friday around 7pm, he had'nt even unloaded it from his truck, he said he was going to that nite and plug it in... I Told him that he shouldn't run it right away after it was laying on it's back and to let it sit for about overnight. SO with that said we don't even know if it works, which could be good as he will want to get rid of it.. and maybe even get it less? but who knows.
I did tell him I would like to buy it and did not lead on about knowing much about them... he wanted me to call him after the weekend.... So that is where I'm at.. .I'm here, waiting hopeing and will call him on monday.

more to come..... '>

Well Sorry havent' checked in a while but can't seem to get logged in and for some reason got in through the old way tonite..
Great looking site and I'm sure Jim will get it working right soon..

Anyway just wanted to update that this is NOT Dead yet... the guy who has it is just not too motivated to do anything with it yet.. i sent him some photos of a V56 ST that he might be interested in trading? and I've said numerous times why dont' i just come over and buy it from you... he just is not too motivated.... so that is where this stands... Please dont' loose any sleep over it more to come..

We'll still working on this deal but the guy has done some homework and told me today he believes the machine has some more value than $75.00 and he can't seem to make up his mind on the V56 st I want to trade him... so I asked him again what's his best cash price and he came back with $600... I asked him where he got that number from, playing dumb and said he's checked around .. I said how bout $400... he is thinking on that ..

I think I know the answer to this question but is this machine still worth $400 -$600 

I guess I still think so...as I'm sure it's an 81b

Yes.  Don't wait too long.  If he really gets his *ss moving and really does some checking, will the price go up even more?? Maybe he will counter with $500, but $600 sounds pretty good to me. The tough part to get past is that you know he paid $75.

  Remember when we all sat around and talked about "the one that got away" ? 

  Please don't let it happen again
