Title: VMC 81 Post by: scoccermom on November 16, 2010, 01:13:58 am How much would you pay for a unrestored RC81 that is missing about $500-$800 worth of parts? Needs some body work as there is rust and some dents. Guy I know wants $7K and wants me to pay for shipping. :wow:
Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: MoonDawg on November 16, 2010, 07:43:01 am Where are these machines comming from lately? Is this the one? It's local and I can inspect it for you, maybe help with shipping.
Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: vintage-air on November 16, 2010, 10:03:43 am I would buy it for for 7000. Let me know if you pass on the deal. I would be interested in it but only if you decide not to buy it.
Thanks, Jeff Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: collecture on November 16, 2010, 10:10:24 am If recent RC81 sales are any indication, $7000 plus shipping would be a bargain.
I see a stack, coin mech, coin door and bezel - what could be missing that is worth $500-$800? Would be odd, but refrigeration unit and shelves? Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: SIGNGUY on November 16, 2010, 10:14:44 am it appears bottle stack and coin mech are there? so not sure what could be missing that is worth 500-800?
I'm not in the position to buy one, but that is a fair deal , if you look at recent sales.. Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: scoccermom on November 16, 2010, 06:53:01 pm He was made a fair offer and wants to think it over. Sounds like he's fishing. With the cost of restoration, it may not be that great of a deal at $7K. Didn't a fully restored one fail to get more than $10K not too long ago on eBay?
The RC81 that recently sold at auction for $11K was a very nice original. Title: Re: VMC 81 Post by: collecture on November 16, 2010, 07:11:59 pm There were three RC81 at the Rich Penn auction just a few weeks ago - 11k, 13.5k & 19k
