I purchased 47 newer gas pumps (10 A O Smith, 22 Bennett and 15 Wayne) as shown in the attached picture. The pumps are, for the most part, complete and rust free with sheet metal stored indoors. All of the pumps, except one, register sales up to $9.99. Seven of the pumps have duel nozzles. Any guess as to value would be appreciated.

Where these units seem to excel is being made into TV consoles rather than refurbed pumps, putting LCD TV's into them. They have a much larger face easily used for console builds versus the old pumps.
Used in that fashion the price depends on how well the console is built. Add a nice sound system and you've got a fun and functional piece.
$300 and up from what I've seen.

If you market them right, I could see $200 to $300.

I think I'd update it with a flat panel, they have gotten to under $200 for one that would fit these pumps.
Personally the round globe on top doesn't do anything for me on this style pump, I'd put maybe a 4" high brand plate on the top rather than a globe, but that's just me.
Googling companies that perform this type of customization, they charge in excess of $2k for vintage pumps.

No TV, No sound system, No beer tapper, No....? It is hard to get $50 to $100 each from my experience around me. Restore them with a globe and decals ....light them up , make them pretty, and I know a guy who is getting maybe $500 or a bit more.

You can usually buy original ad glass for these fairly cheap. I have a Sinclair Bennett 3113 I think. I really like it. To the outside( non petro but maybe car fanatics) these are just as cool as the older pumps. I say buy a few sets of decal, clean them up and hit the next car show swap meet. Have an asking price of about $225 and watch the money roll in.
