OVERALL how does a unrestored pump sell better?
for instance, NO SIGNS NO GLOBES, if a wayne 60 was for sale with pump mechanism in or available that had been pulled apart, sand blasted & sealed inside & out by a professional with all the correct screws, new faces, & glass & you could tell it was a nice pump to start with -
as opposed to a 60 that was a nice nice original with the original paint or with several old coats of paint on it, slighty worn faces & cracked glass with the original screws intact, an untouched, never been apart nice pump. ???
i know some like pumps in their natural condition & will pay more for this condition of pump.
some want to restore a pump but arent body men & the resto is started on a primered pump & will pay more for for this kind of pump.
but overall what sells better??? if 6 pumps were lined up 3 untouched & 3 primered, which would sell first?
some RARE RARE pumps ill take any condition i can get them, BUT, it just seems im drawn to the untouched (virgin) pumps that are for sale.
