Toms Candy Machine Value?

[Ben]

Does anyone know what this candy machine might be worth?  Is it made by Stoner?

It is a 50's model Stoner 8 pull. Nice machines but do not sell as high as some other models. I've seen them sell anywhere between $300 and $600 here but that varies from one market to the next. Of course make sure it is complete and has no rust issues if you are thinking on buying it as that is always a factor. PM if I can be of help

Thanks for the info. It's on Craigslist for $450 or best offer. I wasn't sure what I should come back with. It is 1.5 hours away, so I will ask questions first.

I like it.. I'd grab it at $450.00 providing its complete. They can be made to look lovely.

I think they are not as cool looking as the round mirror ones, but still look cool. I see a lot of stoners in Texas and may have been used a lot down there, or just not so picked over yet, but then again texas is a big area. I think $450 is a good price if its a keeper.

Given it's only 1.5 hours away and if it's complete I would go after it if you are wanting it for your personal collection. If you are buying to flip you need to talk the seller down on their price to turn a profit. Of course I would try to talk him down even if you are going to keep it....LOL.

Some things to consider are rust (which I've already mentioned earlier), look to make sure it has the coin mech, coin box, and keys to it. Not a big deal if keys are mssing but you have to factor in the cost for replacing both locks.


FYI... I sold one recently in the same condition that was complete for $400.

Please keep us posted if you get it and best of luck!!!!!!!!
