Hey all, JUST ENTERED NEW HEADING.....see my last post if you are interested, I'm gonna pass for the sake of harmony with my wife.  Found this one down the road from my house less than 2 hours away. Looks like a V56. Anyone give me an idea what I should pay for it if it's in working order? They wanted $150.00. I'm not sure it's worth it. Could sure use some advice super quick. If I buy it, it'll be this afternoon. Sorry, the picture sucks but it's all I have at the moment. |

If it is working, cooling, has all the shelves, I would say that $150 is not bad, probably avg. price especially if it is a machine you will get daily use out of.

Thanks. At least I'm in the ballpark. It was a "make offer" I offered $100.00. They said they wanted a bit more. I asked what they thought it was worth and they replied $150.00. My reply was if it had the keys, works and cools, I'd meet in the middle at $125.00 and could pick it up this afternoon. The offer was late last night so I'm hoping to find out this morning some time.

The price is good only if it cools and is complete!
The machine looks to be in great condition too!
Good Luck ! ! !

Thanks Jim !
I'll hold firm on the price of $125.00 then if all with the machine is good. It's 104 miles one way to get it so I have to figure that into the cost as well.
Not a screaming deal but not bad either.
On the fence... Hmmm

Thats a clean looking 56. I would even go at $150 if it was something you were going to keep. I've sold a few Cokes in worse shape than that for a few bucks more. Plus its a bottle machine.. Keeps beers cold!

Complete & in working order $150 is totally fair, go for it.

If needed, I think I have extra shelves for that machine. You can have them for the shipping cost.

If it works, the insides intact, I'm with Johnnie, 150 isn't a bad price at all.

Those go for $200.00 -$250 in my area all day long in nice working condition . $150 is a fair price .

Guess it's all supply and demand.
She's not willing to come down.....yet...
I think she will after another week of not selling it.
If I don't get it, that'll be fine since I'm in the middle of working on the Cavalier USS-8-64 that I bought last week.

It looks pretty nice, I'd pay $150.00 for it, so long as it was complete and in good working order.
And there is almost always a drive involved when buying a soda machine. Two hours seems to be the normal distance for me when picking up a new find.
Good luck

Hmmm.. I can see how this hobby could become an addiction quite easily. I keep telling myself, " I don't need another one.... I don't need another one" then I say... "my wife is gonna KILL me if I bring another one home.. YET , I'm tempted.  |

Here is a thought for you and your wife, buy it then turn around and sell it for $250 - $300 then let the little lady know that when you sell it you would take her out to a nice dinner and a movie   . |

I'll offer some encouragement, buy it, have some fun with it & in the mean time list it for sale, it's a good training opportunity if you'd like to think of it as such. |

Each day that goes by, the easier it is to let go of the idea of owning it. Don't know if it has been sold and I guess I'm not gonna ask either. If she contacts me and comes down on the price to $125.00, I'd probably still bite on it though.

Nope.. She hasn't sold it yet. A tough cookie. Holding fast at $150.00. Seems fair but I'm on the fence. First offered $100.00, then $125.00 and she hasn't budged a penny. My wife isn't real keen on the idea of a second machine but she's not saying that I can't either. Stay tuned!!!
