I have seen a few of those National Candy machines on various Michigan Craigslists for $100.00 lately of course, I have also seen a lot of guys asking quite a bit more.  That one has the mint/gum area so it may be more desireable but it seems that there are a lot of those machines out there.

Here is one in Grand Rapids:

That is a National 510 machine made in the 50's. The first one the company I work for was bought new in 1956.  They are nice machines as far as I am concerned.

Granted they are not Stoners, but I think they would be nice for $100.00 (candy) complete. I actually filled these back, when I first started with the vending business. We had these in use until about  1992 or so, as they were all converted to electronic coin mech's. I would pass on the cig's.

I still have a book on them.

I think we mave have been at the same estate sale yesterday. 

If so, they are asking way too much for that machine.  I don't think it would be a deal at even half the price they were asking.
