Is an original Vendo 80 in amazing shape not running because of bad wiring worth $800?

I can never get more than 500$ in the past 3 years I have sold clean and working.

I offered $600 but she wouldn't come off of $800. It was a great looking ORIGINAL machine they have owned since 1958 but I couldn't see $800 in a machine if I don't know if it is in working order.
I paid $400 for one in original condition working a couple of months ago. So I just didn't see $800 in it.

Good decision; especially if the machine is not functioning.
If you looked at the machine, were you able to test functionality of the refrigeration system and vending cycle...?

Could not plug in to test anything. I tried to explain to her that if I could test what worked and what didn't I might could offer more $$ but without that I wasn't sure about the vending, coin mech or compressor functions. She said that it was unplugged about 25 years ago when her father had it and she did not know the last time it functioned. It was a beautiful machine though. It was worth $600 to me for just the way it looked.

If it is nice as you say $800 probably isnt a bad deal. the vending mechanics arent that bad on a V80 and the cooling unit also fits other machines so if worst case scenario you needed a unit they arent that hard to come across. Old things are only original once. Once they are restored you can never go back.
