Ok. Let me ask the question in a different way.
Anybody here have an interest if it was offered at $900 + shipping?

[watlingboy]

$900 is a fair price for it.

I guess I wasn't very clear in my OP.
I DON'T OWN THIS MACHINE, YET. Just looking to see what a fair price is so
I'll know what to pay when I go look at it.

Same answer, $900. Anything below that is in your favor.

Thanks guys for the info. I was hoping it might have been worth a little more because it was a one cent machine.
Ooh well, it is what it is.

It probably is worth a bit more than $900 since penny is a desirable denomination today. It now boils down to condition and completeness of mech and rest of machine. This has been a previous topic - watch out and make sure the mech is equipped to automatically load the jackpots - missing on several Watling Twin Jackpots that I have checked. I have the identical nickel machine (here are before and after pics) and it is one of my favorites to play. Simple smooth easy play with that distinctive Watling springy sound. Good luck.

These jackpot Blue Seal machines survived in large quantities and there are other Blue Seal's that seem to be more desirable. Penny machines usually do bring more and if this particular machine wasn't a penny, it would be worth less. Most collectors want to see gum ball venders on a penny machine, this would increase the value. The other two things which hurt the value are, it has been repainted incorrectly, so now it has to be restored and the fact it has a repro back door. An original door is worth about $200. The guys selling these who are asking 2,3 and 4 thousand dollars are doing just that, asking, they never sell. The completed sales section is a better reflection of the market, not the "For sale section."
