That's what all the TV shows are getting us.

I don't think the TV shows are causing an 83 to be priced at $8000. It seems the seller is just not in touch with the real value of that machine. Many folks would not take an 83 for free.

For what it is, that's a nice example. Looks really clean.

People can price things at any amount, it doesn't matter if they don't sell it.

The seller may be one of those who thinks that anything with Coca-Cola is worth a fortune.  The machine looks super clean, not 8000.00 clean.

Bob,

I talked to Pat, Johnie, Kilroy and Ray.  We are all willing to kick in a grand if you do too!  :biggrin: 8) :laugh: I think we can get it for 6K!

It is a nice clean original but "C'mon Man!"  Can you even vend a 12 oz bottle out of an 83?

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

Tim,  The 83 only vends 8 oz bottles, so i am putting $750

It's in extremely good condition, the liner instruction sheets make me think it is original, but   just not priced right.

at one point, i wanted to have one of every Vendo (pre 60's ) in my collection and during that time, I would have paid maybe 600-700 for an 83 like this in nice condition as it is a beautiful original.. but that dream went away so now I have no interest even in a free one...

YOu michigan guys should buy it and just move it around each others houses every 3 months or so!  think of the excercise! :biggrin:

The paint does not look original.  I can see the "orange peel" which appears to be done inthe last 20 years or so.  The paint on my originals Vendos do not look like that
