Pictures speak a thousand words, without seeing one anywhere from $100-450 maybe more depending if its super nice and everything is there 100% and it works like new.

Machine in my opinion is probably worth $150-250 Later version Ive found that the earlier 63s demand more.

I've never seen the woodgrain door with the gold trim and that sign. Usually its black trim and the scripted sign.  In NJ, I'm paying about  ~$100 for that machine...

I passed on a machine just like that in South Dakota. The guy wanted $250 - to my knowledge he did not sell it.

if you can get it for under 150.00 I'd start buying them... we've talked about this before, but these small bottle machines are going to be the next big thing, and when they get all cleaned up and or restored... they do look awesome!! Just my opionion.
Good luck

      Yes Mica, yours is particularily nice with the light up sign and
the bottle light. Many have only a steel advertising sign.
      Should the woodgrain be removed, desireability will rise.
      In my opinion that machine is worth more than todays market
is willing to pay. Since it is undervalued, you should keep it a few more
years, and use it as it goes up in price.  :happydrinkers:

I sold this particular machine twice already for 350.00, each time.  Bought it back each time for 200.00, people needed the money.  Now since the machine was given to me, I am 300.00 ahead and still have the machine.  And according to sodamachines.com the pic of the Vendo 63, this is a late 60's machine and this is exactly how it is supposed to look.  I was just wondering of I was asking the right price again, for the third time.  But thanks for all of the input and I look forward to more discussions.

True that is how it looked from the factory. Get rid of the woodgrain and it will do better on the open market. Glen is correct. These are below true value right now. Hold on to it if you can. Or start charging a restocking fee for the buybacks :-)

Heck, I would just keep selling it for 350 and buying it back for 200.  My math is not great but it seems like you are doing just fine with the machine as is,  I think you might rename it the lure machine.... :biggrin:

       And if you sold it for $350.00 twice............
you don't need us to help you establish it's value,
you just learned the way we did  :happydrinkers:
