Title: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: mznb1u on April 02, 2011, 08:36:07 am I just discovered that we are all restoring the wrong machines!!! :oops:
Just take a look at this! I figure I will pick it up for about $1,800--clean it up and flip it for $2,500! Afterall, the seller must know what he is talking about, right? http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/for/2250969381.html Everyone have a great weekend! :biggrin: 8) :laugh: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh!

Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: bubba on April 02, 2011, 10:21:16 am That has to be uglier than the decorator machine..
Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: loman4ec on April 02, 2011, 12:06:36 pm Yes but they do restore nicely. I agree with that. here is one I did. Under all that woodgrain it is just a Vendo 56. I just wish it had been worth $2,500 :) What are these people thinking.
There is also an ebay auction running for a late 60's V110 square top and the person claims it is from 1941 and is worth a fortune. Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: BONOVOX on April 02, 2011, 12:15:47 pm Wow...that machine gives me wood :tounge:
Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: rayg on April 02, 2011, 01:34:12 pm Wood Grain......as bad and as ugly some may think it is, it's pure 1970's Americana
Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: mznb1u on April 02, 2011, 05:44:27 pm Josh-i agree that it is a great machine and it has a lot of possibilities once the woodgrain is removed; however, one new in the box would not be worth that kind of money!

Want some more laughs. What are thee people smoking! http://daytona.craigslist.org/atq/2300948813.html http://daytona.craigslist.org/atq/2300940545.html http://orlando.craigslist.org/atq/2297384822.html I could list these all day long. I wish I could get these prices for machines! Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: mznb1u on April 02, 2011, 10:05:17 pm Josh--what is that first one? Never seen anything like it.

Title: Re: Good for a Saturday Morning Laugh! Post by: SIGNGUY on April 03, 2011, 09:17:30 am there is also a positive thing that comes out of those listings.. when selling an unrestored machine and people are balking at "realistic" prices.. show them some of those listings and say .. "See your getting a great deal"! :biggrin:
