V80 value

[jholmgren]

What do you guys think its worth? 

I'm told it "all works".

[Slider-Bob]

How much is scrap going for these days? 

Just kidding, although I'm not a big fan of the Vendo 80's, this one looks better than most.

Personally, I'd use the parts to make an 81 complete.

Well gee Bob, thanks for bursting my bubble!     I thought I found a decent deal on a round-top machine.

Seller wants $400 for it and she confirmed that everything works - gets cold/vends/coin mech works, etc.

Anyway - I like it, and it is in my budget, so I'm stopping by Monday to take a look at it.  That is if I don't get beat out this weekend by a "dealer".  Unfortunately, I just can't make it down to see it this weekend because of other priorities, so I'm rolling the dice that it will still be there on Monday afternoon.   The seller did promise to call me if anything changes so I won't waste a trip.  It's about 90 minutes from where I work.

Although the 80 is not the most desirable.. $400 for it's current condition is not a bad deal at all

     I thought the machine would be priced at about $800 but $400 is a good buy on any V-80. This one looks like a "nice original" which also means no paint work needs to be done.
     The seller sounds like a nice person so call her back and tell her that you really want that machine................... she may hold it for you.

I think that's a great deal on the machine... A nice survivor. Hope the
next picture you post is of it in your house! Good Luck!

I would love to find a banged up 80.  I need a cooling deck for my 81.  You could part out the coin door, bezel and coin mech and make your money back pretty easily.

It wouldnt wait too long at the price somebody, might snatch it up.  If that was in my area it would already be in the garage.

Well...my weekend is so jam packed (little league, car show, now bike ride with the Mrs.) that I couldn't find any time to go look at it until Monday.  So...fingers crossed.  I'll call the seller before I head over Monday, hopefully she'll say it's still available.  If not, it just wasn't meant to be.   I'll keep you all posted.
