Title: Need some advice...
Post by: seper8tor on May 30, 2010, 11:34:16 pm
I'm thinking about buying this Jacobs 26 strictly to flip:

http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/atq/1736510441.html

Seller is willing to take $700.

Assuming all is complete and working, would this be a good deal?

I'm planning on putting it up on ebay.

By the way, if seller is a member on this site, hold your opinion lol...

$700 is about right for asking price. Looks complete as well.

The price may not leave much room for re-sale unless you have the right buyer...
Make sure it is complete and functioning ! ! !

check on the other machines in the background, looks like an 81a, based on the "Have a coke in bottles" slogan o the side?
not sure how much your are going ot make on flipping this Jacobs... market is soft on single vendors..

I've seen a few Jacobs 26s go through ebay recently, and either not met reserve or not gone very high.  Like John said, not much market for the single vendors right now.
