Title: Vendo81B value? Post by: SodaShopNick on April 29, 2015, 03:44:27 pm I am a novice on 81's so need some thoughts on value. I was told original but they added a tap on the refrigeration system to add freon. Looks like a lot more than that to me!

Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: MoonDawg on April 29, 2015, 03:59:22 pm At this point, don't worry about the cooling yet.....use it as a bargaining tool.
That looks like a real nice original, the top of the collector list. If you can get that machine for less than $2000.00 you will never be sorry! Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: Lincoln22 on April 29, 2015, 05:57:10 pm I agree. The 81 is such a nice appealing machine and convenient for various size bottle distribution. Looking at the pictures, I'd say it's a great machine. The B and D in the 81's seem to do the best in sales, but solid red A's are still attractive and desirable. Good luck!

Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: msanborn on April 30, 2015, 06:07:37 pm looks good, I would go for it
Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: SodaShopNick on May 05, 2015, 08:48:19 pm So I did not end up getting it. It was in an auction a few hours from my house with very little other soda related items so I thought I might get it for a deal. Unfortunately though between not being able to attend in person or by phone and only having $1200 to spend I still knew it would be a long shot. As it turned out it only went for $1250, but then you know how auctions go as that does not mean that was the other persons limit. Oh well, I will keep hunting......

Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: tkaz on May 05, 2015, 11:57:51 pm That's too bad, auctions are a fickle beast! Was it in NC? I would have had a tough time passing it up at that price, but like you said, who knows what the bidder(s) would have gone up to.
Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: SodaShopNick on May 07, 2015, 09:38:50 am Yep, patience is a virtue. Tom, yes this was in NC...it was in Clemmons, NC just outside of Winston.
Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: MoonDawg on May 07, 2015, 10:07:05 am Several years ago my Father retired from his construction business and brought in an auctioneer to sell off his equipment.
Rather than set a reserve price, the auctioneer asked me to bid up any item that had not reached that goal. (Shill bidding) Needless to say, I bought a lot of heavy equipment that day! :biggrin: Title: Re: Vendo81B value? Post by: tkaz on May 07, 2015, 10:35:40 am That's too bad, I'm about an hour away from there, not that I'm in the market for an 81, but I'll buy them at that price all day!
