I'm looking to buy this pump. I was wondering what a good offer for it would be? And what do these pumps normally sell for? I would like to add this to my colletion and it is not a resale item. It has some minor scatches, fake globe, not completely finished, and older restoration. But very displayable. Please give any feedback as I would like to pursue a purchase.

Thank you,
Nick

Hello, like to make solid offer on pump, eBay prices all over the place to get a ballpark idea, do you guys think 1,500 would be a good deal from above pics or is it to high or low? Any help would be great, thanks nick

Nick-- If you add up the cost of a nice original pump thats in good shape with nothing missing (about $800) and the cost of a very average restoration done on the cheap (about $1500)--it makes perfect sense to go ahead and buy it. When you see a restored pump sell for a cheap price, its usually because of improper marketing and the fact that once you restore a pump with a specific brand, it limits the potential buyers because not everyone would want that specific brand.
Shipping is a big factor too! If its really close by and theres no shipping charges, thats a big bonus!
Hope this helps!--KEVIN

Good buy! Displays very nice, correct Tokheim 1063 nozzles can easily be found on e-Bay and will nicely finish off the pump.

Coin toss, sounds like you've been watching American Pickers.
