Hmmm. Looks like a Square top 80 from the early 60s
not a bad size machine. would look nice painted
with the two-tone white top. Anyone else wanna guess..... where's Josh?.....

AND they do say $50 OR best offer I think it's worth 50 if it's
the size of a old 81 (I think it is by judging from the car battery beside it) nice size machine... go check it out if
you can. Heck $25 and you haul it off right then and there.

I think it is a Westinghouse model. Cavalier and Vendo usually had their coin bezels on the left of the selection buttons and Westinghouse machines had their coin bezels on the right.
I don't think Vendo ever used that red/white paint scheme either - did they? Notice the seller says "Vendo Style", so it must not have an ID plate.

I'm leaning tword Westinghouse too.
I agree with Eric, try offering $25.  
If you are going to do the work yourself, it could be worth it.

Thanks!

It looks like a Westinghouse W? 78, 4 select. The vend motor inside, if working, will fit a "Dial Select" model. The motor and gear reduction alone are worth $150. Refrigeration unit, same story...will fit the dial select.
