Pass.. I had a few Candy machines.. very cool but very, VERY heavy... that's too much $$$ for that machine... you should be able to find them for  $100-150.

I agree 100-150 tops

That one looks to be pretty clean and in good shape but the price still seems high to me.  The National 13 pulls are big and bulky and do not have a good resale potential.  Plus, it is hard to vend anything but cigarettes from those machines.  I have seen those sell for $100 or less.

If you really want a cigarette machine, I would wait until an older National 9 pull or a 7 pull comes along.  Those machines can be had for what this guy wants for the 13 pull, they are more marketable and have the nicer art-deco styling.  The only problem with the 7's and 9's is that the coin bezels are usually cracked due to the coin return lever hitting the top on the rebound.

Check this expired E-Bay listing to see a 9 Pull.  130424872635  The 7 pull looks the same just smaller.

what does one of these models go for?

That's a seven pull National Machine... Probably the most collectible Cigarette machine because of its size and
footspace..

I have htree of those and would have paid a great deal more for mine than you did for yours...

Nice colour might do my next one that colour...

I think I paid $600 for mine.  Complete original and in working condition.  That might have been a bit high but I was buying it to keep.

i paid 700 for mine

I paid $300.00 for mine and drove all day to pick it up.

$235.00 and local. Way not. You never know when another one will come up in your local area.

I paid $125 locally for a 9 pull, guess I got a good price on it.

The 9 pulls seem to be more plentiful.  I have seen them from under $100 to sky is the limit but usually between $200 and $300.  I think I paid $55 for one that I picked up and it was only missing the lower storage door.  You just don't see a lot of 7 pulls come up.  The $235 price was referring to the National 13 pull in the original post.  That is too much for that machine in my opinion.

GUYS

I'm still looking for the product holders for a seven and a nine pull.
The strip that holds the cards in and has the price on it. If anyone has one plse let me know...

Cheers

Dave

I will keep an eye out for you Dave.
