Cav 72 that needs some TLC. Guy wants $1000. What's a fair price on this machine?

Depending on the rest of the machine, I would probably offer $250-$300 tops. Looks like it may need more than paint!

Hard to say with just those 2 pictures. If 100% complete and everything works $800 is a fair deal for the both of you. It's a large letter machine so that is a ++.

Strange things going on with the top hinge and top of the main door. I'd want better pics or take a look see whats up.

yeah you need better pictures.. could be surface rust could be serious rust through areas.. can't tell...
Bought my 72 last year for $700 or $800... dang can't remember... lucky I guess  but it was in a antique mall...
so it sat for a while.  So be careful get all the info you can..

      I agree he is a little overpriced but let him find that out himself. I was watching one on my local CL for $950.00 for about 3 weeks. Finally I called and met him and he accepted my max. offer of $750.00
      The machine you're looking at has had a poor paint job so it needs to be completely sandblasted but that is exactly what will keep a lot of buyers from calling on it. I think it will restore nicley.

He had it listed at $3000 2 weeks ago. Quite a drop in price. I think $700 is the most I would offer. But as Creighton stated, I want pictures, pictures, pictures.

I bought mine for 750.  It needs a full restore.  Im looking at another one about 20 mins away so im willing to give a more because transporting isnt really a factor or major cost. I offered him 800 cash today right in front of him and he said he had to think about it.  I thought for sure he would of taken the dough!  Cool

I like the Cav 72s more than the Vendo 81s myself.  If I get a full sized machine it will be a 72.

Make sure it is complete and not rotted!!!  I have looked at a ton of these with significant body, beltline and liner damage.

If it indeed cools and functions, the cabinet and doors are fairly straight, and it doesn't have any major rust thru/rot or other damage, I guess it's not a bad price if you really want the machine. 

See if you can wait him out a little more, or go over with a pocket of cash and make an offer.  If it really just needed exterior paint, I would grab it for $700 or $800. 

Nice find on your Cav 72 Eric.  It looks real nice and for a real good price.  Complete machines that are not trashed are getting much harder to find around me for reasonable money.
