Quikold B-500

[SelVend 7 up]

Hey all---

I'm looking at a Quickold B-500 fairly close to me.  It's a really clean pepsi .  I can post a pic later but would anyone throw me a fair value?  Seller asking 500.  Fully functional 10 cent machine.

Thanks, Chris

Make sure it's complete and double check functionality!
That's a fair price if I am reading between the lines of your description.  It wouldn't hurt to offer $400 or $450 when you go back...
I would be prepared to pay the asking price in the end

         That machine is actually a twin of the Glasco 50 and has $500.00 worth of parts.

Thanks for the info guys.  Here's a photo.  Would you put this at the early 60's?  The seller has it advertised as 50's.

Probably spans the two - late 50's into early 60's, similar to the Glasco GBV50.

        Your first post was 2 days ago. Now that we see the picture, you can only HOPE it is still there! 

        Go get it, that is one well kept machine!

Ha, good point.  It's still there.  It may be a little farther than I want to go but it's a pretty clean machine.  Little surface rust on a few internal ribs and back but overall fairly nice.

My wife also said "go get it if you want it".  Good to have a solid support system!

Usually I have my keys in my hand by the time my wife finishes that statement.   

$500 looks to be a very fair price on that beastie.  Go for it!  If it is not convenient, see if any other members are close by and can pick it up for you to shorten the trip.  if it is anywhere in south-central PA or northern MD, I'd be happy to snag it and hold it for you.

I really appreciate that, Jim.

Really good bunch of people here on this forum.
