Normally, I don't watch this show due to Rick's:
1. Vendo 39 hocus-pocus into a Cavalier 72
2. Horrid treatment of a prominent member of this community over a transaction
but...the other night in the trailer for the upcoming episode was a Vendo 27. So, I wanted to watch
Sorry in advance if this has been discussed, but I just saw the episode. The guy brings in a Coke VMC 27 (which are non-embossed) with a pipe stand. One of the split doors was missing and apparently most of the guts. He charges the guy $5800 to restore it and then proudly tells him the machine is worth $7800 now. SAY WHAT?!?!?

Yea, I saw that episode the other night.. I think $7800 is a high quote for its value.. At least for around my area...

Wonder if that was a staged restoration... didn't someone here say that the show bought 2 27s from them?

I about choked at the $5800.00 restoration estimate--- double the national average. The $7800.00 value was just an insult to viewers intelligence.

Interesting you should say that, Glen. When the wife and I were watching and Rick was going through his song and dance of "so many hours for this, so many hours for that, etc", I told her it would be about $3,000 to restore it, depending on parts. Then, Rick barfs out the $5,800 price tag. I said some words we don't let the kids say and then my wife promptly says, "Well, I guess you and the Coke-heads (her endearing, yet playful, nickname for us on this forum) will be talking about this one." |

My wife (saw on a website) a short version of WTF to say in front of the kids. Now we just say WHUCK! Cracks us up every time it is said. |

Yep,
That was me.. the show producers bought two of them from me, I sold them together as parts needed to be interchanged to make one unit.
So talk about HOLLYWOOD..The one that they used, they actually spray painted and then rubbed the paint and scuffed it up to look old and used.. the reason I can tell is that one had a broken hinge, and there are three dents on it that are in the same exact spots as the one I sold him..
I'm sure they used the doors and drum off the other one as this one was missing them.
Pretty funny... and 5800 for the restoration... I guess I should have charged him more!!!

Rick said "we were able to get all the parts we needed from our boneyard." What a tool. When he dropped the $5800 on the "customer" for the restoration, the guy gave a made-up-for-TV wince and then said okay. Man, this show has ZERO credibility. |
