So, at an auction today a Cavalier CSS-96 wood grain with cracked glass, not in great condition sold for $675.00. I went thinking I might get it cheap and resell it. I was just kind of shocked. I've seen the same machine on CL for 250 - 400. I came away with 3 old wall phones, so it was all good.

       Not for the winning bidder of the 96  :biggrin:

I'm curious - one bidder or was there some back and forth?

Two bidders. The machine did cool and vend but I thought it was way to much for larger woodgrain machine.

Geez, that is a high price for that machine.  Was there a buyers fee on top of that as well? 

       That is the key. :happydrinkers:  Get it working before you try and sell it!

       The woodgrain and large coin bezel are too modern looking and a negative for that machine, but many square corner machines are becoming a lot more attractive as round corner multi-vend machines go up in price.

       Here is the 64   80  and  96. They just may be our only Cavalier choices in the near future  :help:

Buyer's fee was only 3% and there was a 3% discount for cash so BF not a factor. 

Last summer/fall I got a couple of really good deals on a Cavalier 64 and Vendo 63. Lately a good price on CL has been $350 -$450 for either of those that cool.  Last week CL had a Cav 64 with a "relay" problem for 250, I replied with a question and the guy said it was already sold (5 hours after his post).  So, at this point I'm plan on grabbing those when I can. Most round tops are above my budget and the Vendo and Cav are cool looking, even if they are square corners.

They say it only takes 2 people who wants something . This is a good example LOL
