Wayne, are you out at Aberdeen?

Aberdeen, MD.  The place is called Aberdeen Proving Ground.  Specifically, my outfit is called the US Army Aberdeen Test Center (www.atc.army.mil).  We've been in existence since 1917.  The other claim to fame for Aberdeen is it's the home town of Cal Ripken, Jr.

I just had a Guy call me up. He wants to sell me a V-23. Started off at $900.00 for a non-working machine and he spent a tremendous amount of time telling me about the one on American restoration. Quote " Do you realize how they're worth when restored?" And the comment I really liked was "this is the same machine they restored on American restoration, man!" Of course when I turned him down he asked me to make him an offer on a machine I really don't want. After which he presided to school me on the real value of this machine referring to recent Ebay sells of similar machines. It seemed as though he was comparing restored machines to his unrestored, non-working machine. I think I am going to go over and take a look and maybe see what I can actually get it for. I usually do well buying machines I don't really want.

He is describing a Deluxe model Vendo 23, apparently complete, but the power cord is either frayed or cut.

Bottom line is Rick's work sucks and he charges way too much! You gotta give your customers their monies worth!

That's my biggest problem...people always say "do you know what these go for on ebay?" And my reply is ....that's the "asking" price. hahaha,   
you can always ask anything you want, but will only get, what someone is willing to pay for it!

Terry...lighten up Dude!

Tell you what, go to the History Channel and get your own show. Then, we can mock and degrade your work, service and
pricing! It'll be a hoot!  biggrin

I still use my v 23 because it does not run much and keeps my cokes very cold. I thought I paid too much for it 10 years ago($400) but all I had to do is rewire it and wax it , cheap on the power bill in like my c96 with a fan running all the time.

$400.00. Thats what I am hoping to pay. Should I get it.

I actually like these little machines. But heck, I like almost every machine I run across.

I think $400 bucks is a great price... if you like the machine.

The guy called me back to make sure I was actually going to come over and look at it. I am going over tomorrow. The last price was, and I quote, "I'd take $400 to $500 for...I'd take $500.00 for it now". So it might happen. i have actually always wanted to replace a Vendo 23 I let go years ago.
