Newbie here: machine is complete and reportedly does cool. Few to no dents and/or dimples. Haven't inspected it but assuming there's minimal rust any idea of a ballpark for value?
Thanks in advance. wep

Would that $3200 have been restored or unrestored?
Thanks, wep

One sold for $1,675 a few months ago on ebay unrestored, another brought $1,800 in a auction in Ohio I believe its defenatly a buyers market on machines right now.

Also you say vendo and not Vendorlator or VMC is this a real embossed pepsi 81 or a Vendo with a sign screwed over the Coke embossing.

I think it's actually a VMC. Here's a pict (if I can get it attached) - looks embossed.

Yep,
That's an orginal VMC pepsi alright.. .sure would love to run into that in an old barn or shed like it's sitting in right now.. very cool
hope you can pick it up for a good price...
Also we need to hear the story of how you came across it .. we love the stories and photos..

Haven't purchase it - still thinking about it. It's priced below $2000 ($2000 is the minimum I would need to sell it for to make a small profit).
Given these circumstances and the present financial recession, I'm still in the pondering stage.
Any advice?
Thanks, wep

Not sure your situation , but you can buy it and sit on it for a bit till economy changes.. and let's hope it does.. you should be able to make a few bucks on it..
or if you are content make a few bucks by selling it for 2k, I might be very tempted to take you up on that as well..?? or I'm sure someone else might be as well.
this machien should be rescued by a collector so something unfortunate doesn't happen to it?
PM if you want to talk deal or no deal.. ha ha
