Vendo 39?

[tolken4]

Can you guys help me out with this one?  Assuming it is complete is it worth 500 asking or 350 what I want to offer the guy? Sorry this is the only pic I have, I have already asked the seller for more.

I'm not very good with prices but if its complete inside the drum alone I've seen go for more than $300 on Ebay....

Its missing the coin door, Does he have it?? If its 100% complete $500.00 is fair if its not go down from there. Your offer is very fair.

I picked-up two Vendo 39s in the past eight months. When purchasing I considered the over all condition, Rust being a major factor. Does it work, another important factor to me. And is it complete, that missing door could cost you another one hundred dollars. The last V-39 I bought I paid $750.00 for (Kind of high for a machine that still needs restoration), but it was complete, worked, and close to home. I saved money by not having to pay for shiping.
I could have bought a nicely restored one for $3000 which is something worth factoring in, especially if you farm out the work. I don't, I love working on these neat old machines, so I save a lot on labor.

If this machine was close and fairly complete, I would pay up to $400 right now, just for the parts. But it would need to have the drum and the coin mech should work at that price.

I hope this helps. but remember, it's only one mans opinion.

Good luck

Thank you everyone for your input.  Looks like it sold before I got to it

There will be another... over 81,000 of these 39's where made... the pop up all the time and you should be able to find one at a decent price.

but like RC Kid said,.. consider what your going to do with it.. if you want one already done and ready to go , spend a little more unless you can do the restoration yourself..

Good luck!

That's here in Missouri... It didn't have the drum... I asked about it too...

I've owned 5-6 V-39's - paid up to $750 for one, but most were acquired for $300-$500 complete.

There will be another one!
