I wanted to know the value of a Stoner Coffee machine?...I would say it's in decent shape and I will try to attach a few pictures as well.

Wish I could help but you know what?.........That thing is Cool. It looks a little big but still has that "art deco" appeal to it. Does it work and complete? Looks complete & perhaps someone could go from there.
 You buying or selling?

I'm buying it, but I have no idea what a fair price is.

Thats is cool! I always wanted a coffee vending machine!

Hello, Cokecolaman

         Now I know who else was trying to get this !!! I'v been on it since it was listed .Made A Couple of offers & was Told otheres were uping it !!! I talked to a Good member here & his Advise Was Because The Mirror was flakeing (That Were the Problem Lays ) You'll Probaly NEVER ??? Find a Nice One .So Since I'v Not Heard Anthing Back From the Selle since my LAST offer . Are Your The Owner ??? Now !!!  I don't Like Getting Caught up in Bidding From Sellers That say Yes Then Say I got 2 more Offers Higher LATER What more do you want to Offer  .

                                      Good Luck !!! I think the Insides Are in Pretty bad Shape If you Blow The Pic Up .

                I'm Out of the Bidding                          Ltransam

I have restored four of these and I mean removed every last working part. Stripped to nothing. I have paid as much as $800.00 and as low as $100.00 I have made the mirror, as I restored one in Campbell"s Soups.

Wow! That's an amazing find. I never knew these existed.

What are they worth restored?

Awwwww dude.............if that's the same machine, you gotta do it!

I have a restored coffee/hot Choc. ready in two weeks $6500.00 almost finished.

Here are a few photos of the one I did for Jeff Wolf

That is sooooo sweet! All those graphics hand painted? Speaking of Campbells Soups, I passed on a counter top model years ago for $100. Kickin my self still. 50's era Bright red

I paid $250 for the one I bought a while ago, unrestored and incomplete (probably paid too much).  Brian (Seven181) has a couple and is a better judge of value.  Saw a nice complete one here going for $2000.  They aren't big (under 6 feet tall) and really cool!

If you get it for what it's worth to you, buy it. I would like to find one at the same time I have funds. They don't come around to often and they are sweet looking.

Depends really on the condition of the inside. I have 4 of them. 3 complete and 1 just a shell. They are cool.

I let "Ltransam" know that I didn't realize someone from this site was bidding on it and I would be telling the seller that I'm no longer interested in it.

Cool. Check your PM. I have a few of these, if you are interested.

Small World isn't it...
that same lady emailed me pictures of it and wanted a value on it on November 28th.. knowing what it was of course, made an offer, but she said she decided to keep it..
guess she didn't want to keep it too long..

Good luck on whoemever has the op to buy it.. I think they are cool looking as well. just don't need one that bad!

seems like a lot of you guys are always competing with each other for machines

This is such a cool looking machine when restored, Hard machine to restore, but curtis did a top notch job on mine,one of the best items in my collection, New a guy i used to buy off that had one he was going to restore and ask 10,000 he was crazy that is why i dont buy from him, Curtis has priced his very fair as the amount of work he puts into it takes months to do it, He makes  the machine better then new. everything works on the machine, like if you took it out of the box. great work curtis

Curtis who did you get to make a new mirror?  Is it silk screened and sivered over the screening?  How much does it cost?

                     Did you get My PM ??

I just read it...thank you.

Actually not as much as we used to I think with this site, we have a who's bidding section on the site and "Most" members have posted about stuff they are bidding on, usually ebay stuff that all of us have seen, and for the most part, the person who has wanted it most, or maybe is closer to it, usually is given the green light by the other interested members..
This is not too say it's an exclusive rights thing, but it does help out quite a bit on things in the past....

 To be honest with you, completeness woudn't matter that much to me on this one. I woud keep it forever, but probably wouldn't leave it plugged in even if it was like new. Like someone said, they look cool as hell.
  As for the bidding thing,  think it's cool cocacolaman backed out. On the other hand, demand for commodities is what drives up value. Value goes up and the prices we can get for our beloved collections goes up, which to me is a good thing for everyone. It just sucks to be the guy that can't afford it and wants it for nothing. I'm one of these people by the way.

Values are changing it seems like almost daily. Like I've stated in other posts, I've seen things going for 1/3 of the price of what it used to be years ago. I dunno, maybe the younger generation doesn't appreciate the "old school" items that we search/desire to acquire. There's some pretty good knock offs ouot there but compared to a good original, give me the original any day

Now it's on Ebay.
