Title: Y'all tell me.... Post by: 00Dawg on July 21, 2011, 09:31:11 am Got an opportunity to get a Vendo 23 over in Atlanta. He's asking $750, plus it'll cost me about $70 in gas to make the trip.
(http://www.savemstateathletics.com/images/Coke4.JPG) Apparently it's in working order. Thermostat and compressor work, it vends, etc. Here's the top: (http://www.savemstateathletics.com/images/Coke1.JPG) Front: (http://www.savemstateathletics.com/images/Coke2.JPG) And side: (http://www.savemstateathletics.com/images/Coke3.JPG) eBay has one in slightly worse shape that I could have delivered for about $700 inclusive, and it has 0 bids. Is an $800+ investment too much? Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: Eric on July 21, 2011, 09:57:39 am I've had a couple.. $500 was the most I paid... I traded/sold them off... just takes the little bottles...
I think the price is too high.. just my opinion. Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: 00Dawg on July 21, 2011, 10:07:51 am Little bottles as in 8 ounces, or the 6.5 ones?
Very happy to get the price opinion, but that little factoid may drastically alter my interest in this model. I haven't seen any 6.5 oz bottles around here, and whatever machine I get is going to be used. Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: Kilroy on July 21, 2011, 10:52:12 am the V23 was built for the 6 1/2 bottles.
the 8 oz bottles available today are the same size as the 1940's 6 oz bottles, better technology these days $750 is a tad high. Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: Chris on July 21, 2011, 11:22:23 am Have Steve show you his Camaro it's really nice. I would offer him $600 he'll probably take it. I've seen that machine and a couple others he has.
Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: 00Dawg on July 21, 2011, 11:51:21 am Ha! Between all the board members, you guys know or have dealt with every Coke machine owner in America, haven't you? :tounge:
Meanwhile, that's good news on the bottles. Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: MoonDawg on July 21, 2011, 12:21:43 pm Have Steve show you his Camaro it's really nice. I would offer him $600 he'll probably take it. I'd give him the full $750.00 for it! :biggrin: Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: Kilroy on July 21, 2011, 02:48:41 pm $750 for a Camaro? Does he take paypal?? :)
Title: Re: Y'all tell me.... Post by: Chris on July 21, 2011, 07:21:10 pm Uhhhhh no. He's got more than that in the steering wheel alone.
