Whats this machine worth?

[sprint54fan]

I have a factory breakroom wanting a snack machine.. breakroom is big so no space requirements..the guy said bring a used machine cause it will get dirty and beat up..so I went on the hunt for something used and I found this machine on Ebay.

 

Description says: "Up for bid is a used national vending machine. It comes with a working coin mech and dollar acceptor, the dollar acceptor could use some new belts. It is location ready and comes with a lock and key. Some scratches and dings. It has some holes on the side from where I had a change machine at one time. Local pickup only and must be picked up immediately, I am moving. I have other vending machines for sale too. This is being sold as-is, no returns, no warranty. Feel free to ask any questions."

 

My question....whats it worth?

300 if it works

He said it credits the bills and all but the belts are loose..could it be wrong belts?

That is a National 145 and it's good that it only has one candy shelf as you might prefer more snacks than candy if it's not a high volume account.  If it still takes bills and gives credit then the belts aren't too loose, but the validator is a Maka boat anchor and you would be doing yourself and the account a big favor by upgrading it to a Mars 2501.  If you need parts for that, send me a PM.

He has it on ebay for 150 starting bid or buy now for 300.00

Since its been listed 4 times now and no bids..I think Im going to offer 100.00 and see what he says. Hes moving and needs gone ASAP it says..so maybe Ill get lucky

good buy for a $100

 

Get rid of the maka

 

If upgrading to mars you will have to change the E-Proms on board. Mars won't work with the E-Proms unless the board was upgraded some time in the past.

 

I would upgrade it to MDB 

Tuff front

Led lights

Maybe paint the rest
