I have found an IDEAL 85 SLIDER RC COLA Embossed. Has been repainted (canned spray paint) but looks to be in good shape missing the crank but does work and from what I understand is complete. Whats it worth and whats a good price to throw at the guy he's asking $250. Thanks for any and all help.

Cap catcher is missing on the front. If the rack is inside and it cools, I would give 200.00 to 225.00 if it is truly complete other than the cap catcher. I would look at the bottom edge below the door for a rust through. I would also see if the coin mech was there. That chrome piece on the front looks like it is pretty heavily damaged

That looks pretty nice I would try and get it for 200 but the 250 is not bad a cap catcher will run you about 30-40 dollars if you can find one... I would buy it.

Let me know if you get it. I think I have a cap catcher that will fit but will have to make sure it is the right size...

Those dents are not bad. You would want to paint it anyway with a better quality paint so you could fix those at the same time...

I really like the sliders...I have a couple and I just got a embossed Nesbitts 85. They make a great machine...

Go for it (like aspbear1 said, try $200, but $250 might not be that bad since it is pretty much complete)!

Well its this thing called 3 little kids!!! Ranging from 5 month-6 years!!! Then again I have a friend that lives down there and could get her to pick it up and store it for me til I can make it down there!!! So now I am just waiting to make sure he still has the machine and see if I can talk him down on the price!!!

I wouldn't worry sbout $25 - $50 just grab it while you can. Get it stored and make a holiday of picking it up.
Just my sixpence worth.

It's priced right. If you were to part it out the coin mech is worth what you are paying for the machine. So now you will only be truly out your time and gas.
That said, I would hold out for the smaller Ideal 55 or better 35. The 85 looks nice, but it is so big. That's why the seller keeps bringing down the price, it's hard to sell.

Size isn't a major issue really for us. Though this machine has been listed SEVERAL times on eBay with no selling success so I am hoping that since he hasnt been able to sell it for the 250 and I think it was even listed for 200 once I may be able to talk him down on the price!! I told him it would be June or July before I could make it down there. I guess if he wont hold it that long I will talk to my friend that lives down there and see if she has a place to put it til I can make it!!! Now its just coming up with the money to get it and get down there and back!!!
