$4k to $4500 sounds right for a nice original

What we would pay and what it's worth are 2 different figures. :biggrin:.

We would pay $2,500, worth $4,500. Either way, nice machine.

Started 7000. Now he is at 6300.  I thought 5000 tops. He needs more time and reality.

It's a little high. I would agree with you. $5,000 tops.

Definitely a nice machine, a lil unrealistic on price.   Let him post it than not sell it, only a very limited amount of people would pay 5k for the machine.   A restorer wouldn't touch it for 5k as they'd prefer a rougher machine in my opinion.

I would run away from that seller wasted a fair amount of my time on several machines I've had for sale!

My Pepsi 81 is for sale and I only want 4K for it. Needs to be restored but a perfect machine to restore. If I don't get 4K for it then I will just keep it and restore it myself and then it will be a lifetime keeper :smile: Either way, win-win.

I agree with the comment about who is buying it.
me (a restorer) wouldn't pay 4500 for it. .its too nice to restore and would be stupid to do so.
for a collector who wants all really nice clean original machines.. then 4500 -5k is not out of line..

Depends:
If I'm buying then $2500
If I'm selling then $4000

In the last few years two or three have been on eBay.  When they sell in that condition there are usually like 40 bids.  They have sold in he 3500-3800 plus shipping...

They have gained a lot of popularity..they always seem like a war to get in the Craigslist market!
