Vendo 33 listing...this price good?

[Kaleid20]

Guys this is for sale in my area...looks like the guy is desperate to sale as his listed price has dropped twice in a week.

Current asking price - $785

Not one of my favorites, but what do you think of the asking price? I was leaning toward offering $600 if the rust isn't real bad.

Take 600 cash...and go make him in offer in person. You may be surprised!

$350-$450 - not that desirable a machine anymore

[Kaleid20]

Yeah I'm not uber-high on this machine...lacks the embossing that I love so much. However, if I could get this for cheap, I'd pounce. We don't get many machines down here in TX for cheap. Prices are very inflated.

I have a friend with several of these and he can't give them away right now!

Be patient on finding your first machine.  I can relate to the frustration of finding that first one, but make sure you get one that will fit your space and your needs.  Once you get one, you have a lifetime to work on it and redo it.  You looking for one to use daily or one to turn into a showpiece?

Well - if he is having trouble giving them away, let me know where he's located and I'll help him out!

me too let me know where to pick them up

[Slapshot42]

I would take them too!  I would rather spend my money on something else.  The 33's just don't get me too excited.  But, if it was free, well that's a different story.

Find a complete/working Vendo 39 for under a grand.  Even thought it is also not very practical, it is  still a pretty cool machine.
