How much should I expect to pay for a redeye
 
In the pictures it appears to be in good condition, both machine and cabinet. Have not been to see it yet.

without seeing it would be hard to say.

I paid $50 for mine, without cabinet.

Listed on Houston Craig's list for $200 but I've emailed her and gotten it down to $140. Do you think that is too much?
Don't know how to get the link posted, but should be able to just do Craig's list Houston and see the listing. . .

I did check out the serial # and it is from 1911 not 1940.

I paid $125 for mine it is a 66-1 so it's back mounted feet or change it out. I could have paid less, but gal had 4 teenage sons to feed. I took pity on her. She is a teacher.

In Oregon I paid 150.00 for my Red Eye that is in excellent shape and the oak cabinet is beautiful. It seems like everyone comes with the dark water spot on top but this one didn't have it and it wasn't even refinished. I scored!

Honestly I wouldn't even talk about price until you see it. It might not work in your favor-but let's hope it does and it's a beauty waiting for you!

I think I'm going to have to go see it, which in my mind means I'm probably going to buy it if I'm willing to drive an hour to go look at it.

mom-6 can you go on Craig's list and copy the link and then paste it here on your thread?
