Just curious if anyone has an estimated value for a V126 (with the beveled glass on front)??  Just got back from looking at it.  It is in awesome condition except for a small dent in the bottom grill.  The guy runs a vending company and just went thru everything and it runs COLD!!

Also, anyone know the type of bottle or cans that work in it??

Thanks,
Shawn

A Vendo V126 w/a style-star sign will vend standard 8-12 Oz. glass bottles only, (unless it's been converted with a can-rack) ? unfourtunatly it's a BIG machine, & it's value is much lower than that of a V90 or V63/56   I'd say you might get between $200-300 with the right buyer, the style star sign does make the machine much more desirable, but the big/tall machines are a hard sell, though on the bright side, if it's complete, it's a great source for shelves & spare parts for the other models (63/90)

Unless it's a unusal model ( like the V126/Orange-crush transitional model I had a while back)
the bigger the machine, the harder it is to sell. yes, there are exceptions as mentioned, my favorite example would be a Vendo De-capper, HUGH & Heavy, but man I'd knock you down to get to one!  :tounge: but , it's an extreme example. most folks just don't have the room for a really tall machine, but hey, big machines need luv too!   :upside:

And Johnie, while you're knocking him down to get to the Vendo Decapper, be careful while I'm tripping you so I'll get there first ! ! !

       Just recieved an e-mail from a lady who's boss wanted her to
research the value of his round-cornered glass door machine. She
send a picture of an early 110 that he thinks is worth $1500.00
       Sadly I am going to have to tell her the same thing Johnie just
stated and her boss isn't going to like it one bit!  :help:

JIM..Fair enough!  :laugh:   ...Yeah unless it's an RC Cola V110, it'll never bring anywere near $1,500.00
