Hello All, I'm looking at buying this Junior for my front porch. I know it is missing the cap catcher & bottle opener. It is for sale for $375. Is this a good deal?

This used to be a highly demanded cooler until they started being reproduced several years ago. Even so, $350 would be a good price for either one of them.

Make sure the lid isn't rusty.. but that's a good price. .Fun-tronics carries a cap catcher and you can get a opener off ebay.

Is this machine local to you? IMO If you can get it for that price without having to pay shipping then that's a awesome deal.

The machine is 150 miles away so I will drive to pick it up. The lid is in decent shape. The inside has a little surface rust but nothing too bad. Thanks everyone for your help!

Grab a button or two while you're there, the white one looks nice

I will definately look at the coke buttons when I am there. I've never looked at buttons before, are the prices decent? 36" red = $200 36" white = $275 48" red = $399

I'd say they're high on the red buttons due to condition, but the price on the white one doesn't seem bad if it's as decent as it looks in the pic. I assume they would negotiate down a bit. Nice buy on the chest.

I agree the white one is well priced based on condition, the others are priced ok but I would rather put that kind of money towards nicer ones.

Bundling makes sense, to me because the seller is selling more so they are more willing to give a better price. That if there is more then one item you really want from the seller. FRANK ISTHE MAN! pickers is a good show

Do an advanced search on ebay of completed listings and see what they are going for. I like the white one but the other two are pretty rough.

I have not seen too many white button signs around here, are they more common up north?

The white button looks a little dull. Can I just use rubbing compound on it or will that wear thru the artwork?

Use rubbing compound on all the white at least.

I thought that as well, looks a little rough, but there are some paint "Cleaning" products out there from Mquires and other car wax manufactures.. I'd go to your local carquest/Napa/advanced auto and seee what they have for paint revitalization.
