Title: Help on a value of a Dr Pepper 81 Post by: COREY on October 20, 2009, 08:22:10 pm I need some help. I have found an original Dr Pepper 81 machine and I can get it for $2200.00. Is it too high or do I need to pass. He came down from $2500.00. I know it is a generic machine but it sure is nice! Just curious!

I think 2000.00 is closer to a good deal. I guess it just depends on how bad you wnat the machine if you can get it for 2200.00 Title: Re: Help on a value of a Dr Pepper 81 Post by: MoonDawg on October 20, 2009, 08:34:04 pm If that is the one on Sacramento Craigslist, we have been discussing it on on another post. Better check it out cause you're getting close to a good deal.
(And you know he wouldn't turn down 20 one-hundred dollar bills) Title: Re: Help on a value of a Dr Pepper 81 Post by: collecture on October 20, 2009, 08:57:28 pm In my opinion, a generic 81 can be had for under $1500. I can name at least 3 members on here (myself included) that have acquired them for that price or below - I think I've got $1100 into mine. Patience and persistence will pay off if that is what you want.
Signs too can be had for reasonable prices - I just acquired this DP sign for $60 - it is not mint, but not too bad either - looks about like one of the two on the sides of this machine if I recall.

Title: Re: Help on a value of a Dr Pepper 81 Post by: VMC 81 on November 14, 2009, 12:23:03 am I would say $1500 no more that $1800, $2K would be pushing it. A few bucks more and you could have a Pepsi 81
