Title: I have a Vendo V-81B sell or restore? Post by: landmule on February 22, 2008, 01:29:11 pm I'm a newbie and was really happy to find this forum. I have a Vendo V-81 B that I've had for quite a while. It is not restored, but it is complete. Someone repainted it a few years ago and the cord is mouse eaten. I will post some photos. Presently, I wonder if I ought to have the machine restored or sell it in its present condition. Are there people that buy these and, if so, what is an approximate value - restored and unrestored?
I will appreciate everyones input on this. thanks Rob Title: Re: I have a Vendo V-81B sell or restore? Post by: coke_and_stuff on February 22, 2008, 01:36:53 pm Fully restored if done right $6-7k. Unrestored depending on condition $1200-1800
Figure another $2k in the resto for parts paint etc. Joey Title: Re: I have a Vendo V-81B sell or restore? Post by: RC kid on February 22, 2008, 07:36:37 pm I have a question along the same lines, how long does it take to sell a restored machine? And is the current economic situation going to slow down sells in this market?

Post by: coke_and_stuff on February 22, 2008, 08:16:56 pm The people buying a $7k dollar machine are the same people buying new Cadillacs, It has slowed down a little but not enough to stop people from restoring the machines. Selling a machine may take a day, a week, month, or even a year you just have to be patient.

antique distributers anyway. Sometimes........." a bird in the hand, is better than 2 in the bush" Unrestored 81B will bring you $1000.00 to $1500.00 Spend another $3000.00 for a restoration you will need $4K to $4500 just to break even.
