I've been looking around for this machine for a while without much luck. Can either be an 8 plus original, fully restored, or even an amateur / older restoration as long as it displays nice. Not looking to set any records as far as purchase price but will pay what I would consider affair market price for the right machine. Wanted for personal collection only. Please message me if you have one that you might consider selling or have any leads on one. Thanks so much.

What’s the average price been on them recently?  I can’t remember seeing any sell lately.

We saw in all time low in early January when one sold for like $4200.  It was not exactly what Ray is describing but let's just say many wouldn't pony up as much as they would of in like 2009-2013.

I would break it down as follows, assuming the machine is complete, vending, cooling, and with correct VMC bezel...

Needing restoration: $4000-4500
Garage Original: $4500-6000
Nice Original 8+: $6000-9000, maybe even $10K, depending how nice.
Amateur/Older restoration: $5000-7500
Grade 1 Restoration: $9000-12000   

Something like that, give or take. But what do I know...
It's a tough machine, always has been. Not a whole lot of sales history.

I agree with Mygoose101 on this (Garage Original: $4500-6000) As I have a really very nice decent displayable Bottler's/Distributor's repaint (Like 90%) but not the Embossing or the Green Trapezoid .  I have more then $6000 in it but if I sold it at this time id probably take $6000 for it because of the market .

I paid a pretty penny for my nice original 7up 81, the 4 others I’ve sold did $6500-7500 each.
