I sold my restored Sez for $2,500 about a year ago and wish I still owned it, meaning I sold it for too low  :veryangry:

Wouldn’t that be only if the one he’s talking about is as nice as the one you had Ray?
Yours was a top notch resto job.

Unsure about Popcorn Sez Vendor pricing but someone chimed in.
As for the "restored "Cigar-o-mat, I haven't heard any recent sales but I would value the 3 selection model a little higher than the 6 selection. I may be off a little but would estimate the 6 selection around $2800 - $3400...
The Canteen restoration is probably just a glorified re-paint as the internal mech & coin gear is a little complicated and most will not properly disassemble... With that said, I would think between $1800 - $2200 if done nicely...

Very hard to price something you cannot determine the level of quality...

I was selling my three twist Cigaromat for 2 grand before, but the person who was interested in it wanted a "Restored" machine.  Mine looks nice and I could pass it off as restored, but there are plenty of paint issues that I wanted to point out to the buyer, which brought that sale to a quick halt  :laugh:.
I'd rather be honest and have someone satisfied than be deceitful and profitable.  Foolish lad I am.  :down:

Anyway, I'd say Jim's was about right.  2 - 3 grand.  If "Restored" 8 grand  :tounge:
