I have bought those for $300 and talls for $500. Does working mean anything to us? More weight to deal with until we get it home and get on the restoration.
I see someone giving $800 tops.

That appears to be a white porcelain pump. Worth more then an average gas pump. But, his price is still high.

Wow, how did you handle that? Where did you put them all and how many people did you have to hire to get them and put them away? That side of your purchase boggles my mind and then the money,, that is a amazing low price. Can I ask what year was that and was it a range of different pumps and manufacturers or ???? It must've been a farm auction?? Thats just amazing Jack!

My first year of collecting pumps I put a Free Wanted Ad in a Free Weekly paper in the western part of the state, in 6 months time I got over 60 pumps, most all still connected on old Farms. Several were $50.00 but most were given to me just to get them off their property.My first call was the Tokhiem 850 in my avatar, which I still have. I had about $1300. invested that summer and ALL were Pre 50's pumps. That was 1990
