Luv my V80 because it has been in my family for over 40 years.....but I am realistic enough to understand these guys are dreaming:

almost seems someone is helping drive up the price

The nice restored one is only about 75 miles from my house and didn't meet reserve the last time it was listed on e-Bay, bid that time was about what it is now.....The other one IMO is not in as good of shape as the one I just bought and doing a DIY restro on.....I figure mine will be worth maybe $500 or $600 after I finish but unless I got to hurting for money $1000 wouldn't buy it.

Mine can been seen here.... www.vendo80.blogspot.com (http://www.vendo80.blogspot.com)

PS...The guy in the 2nd ad must be well over 6 and a half feet tall.

Paid $400 for my V80 a few months ago.  Had to replace the power cord and 'un stick' the vending mech, plus had Johnie G clean up the coin mech but other than that it works great.  I think about $800 is top for the V80.

I wish I could find an original RH plate for mine....Just think that would bump the value up by over a grand...LOL

The second link (with the really tall guy and the video) is only about 30 miles from me.

Looks like the the one with the tall guy SOLD for $1150  I didn't think it would bring that much. I don't remember what he was asking for it....?
