The range is wide... seems to be location and timing specific.  Anywhere from $100 - $300 for a machine that looks like yours.  Assumes it is complete and it's working.

if the machine in the picture is the machine in question, I'd offer you maybe $150.00 if it runs. that's a lot of heavy surface rusted on top & the bottledoor, I also see heavy paint damage to the side and graphics & I see a good size dent up on the upper left corner of the Have-a-Coke Graphics side shown, & possible bottom pan rust showning along the bottom edge under the grill, again,

You'll get more if you take the time to rub some of it out ( avoid heavy rubbing compond on the white graphics as the paint tends to smear) & clean it up, confirm that it runs (or not) & you didn't say if it was complete ( not missing any shelves, coinmech., etc.) & the locks gone ( not a big deal)

This machine shown obviously has seen a lot of  the "outdoor" life,  :;):   For a good auction, the general public will want  decent looking machine that passes the "wife-test" that is to say of the wife will allow you to bring it into the basment as is!
