Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: scoccermom on December 23, 2011, 12:12:51 am FWIW, we recently bought a complete original for $3,000. Paid a little more than what we wanted but it was close by and saved on the shipping. It needs restoration and we plan to do it ourselves when time permits.

Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: vintage-air on December 23, 2011, 04:07:22 pm So does everyone else. There are plenty of machines out there for sale. Everybody wants them for $1500 or less which is very hard to find. I just sold a complete working 81D for $2400 which I thought was a a good deal in today's market. If you find one close and complete for $2000-$2500 then go for it.

If you find one close and complete for $2000-$2500 then go for it. Those are unrestored prices, correct?Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: johnieG on December 23, 2011, 04:49:49 pm Yep, that's UNrestored pricing... :oh:
Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: Zach on December 26, 2011, 07:10:01 pm Whats the going rate for non-restored non-cooling but complete 81d's? And also 81b's? And may I ask a round corner 56?

Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: msanborn on December 27, 2011, 12:46:12 pm There is a 81D for sale in Bel Air, Maryland, asking price is 1800. Seller's name is Bruce, 410-456-3784 is his cell number. Machine looks complete, he says it cools etc, seems like a nice guy, just a little more than I want to spend if anyone is interested. Good Luck. M
Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: scoccermom on June 23, 2012, 08:39:06 pm Anyone know what a nice restored 81-D is going for these days? Got a friend who has inquired but sellers seem to want north of $6K...geez.
Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: Creighton on June 23, 2012, 08:59:44 pm 6K for a top notch restored machine is a fair price. It's all in the quality of the restoration.
81D complete but not working or restored will bring 2.5K easy. Takes time/money and knowledge to restore correctly. Good luck on your search. Referrals and lots of pre purchase pictures will be your friend :-) Creighton Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: Kaleid20 on June 23, 2012, 09:09:00 pm Just got one for $900, but that's from someone who didn't have a clue what they had. If you hunt around and you will have to do it daily, almost obsessively, one should come up around $1500. You'll have to jump on it immediately. I missed one a month ago that went for a grand. There are still sellers out there who don't do their homework. I plan on flipping this one for at least double to help fund some of my other projects.
Here's one that is for sale in the LA area, starting bid of $1800. No bids yet, 2 days in. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coke-Vendo-81-Barn-Fresh-/330752556047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d02637c0f#ht_500wt_1413 Title: Re: WTB Vendo 81D Coke Machine Post by: scoccermom on June 25, 2012, 09:40:02 pm $1800 w/missing coin mech
$400 coin mech $4000 for restoration $800 shipping (to and from restorer) That's $7K if you don't have a local restorer. Seems cheaper to buy fully restored 81D. |
