No.one fifty each tops. IMHO and that's only if you like these type of pumps.there are much nicer looking new style pumps out there.

Respectively decline and tell the gentleman you are looking for something older. That would be a good way to get out of it and still maintain his dignity and respect. You never know: maybe he has some cool signs, old bottles or something else you'd like to score on. A local tire station closed up and gave me two like these and I put them on e-bay twice and never sold them. I took them to a swap meet and sold one for $50. The other went to the recycle yard. Those square boxy SS bodied pumps just aren't that collectable. You're going to spend at least $300-$500 doing a good job of restoring a pump regardless of make and on an older pump you are a lot more likely to make that back down the road. One thing those pumps do have going for them is that the price only goes up to $9.99. That's cool. They must go back to the 60's or very early 70's.

I think their worth $100-200 each once cleaned up with some TLC.
Are they holding their lower guts?
Location is everything on these pumps.Some areas have less interested,while others have more.My area is more..
Those 3 digit & extremely clean face plates,are a good selling point.

Definitely not worth more than $100-150 each in the given condition. With nice paint, bright chrome, etc maybe $250-300ea. So as was suggested, decline the offer in favor of other items.
