Coke Cooler
I'd like to bid on this, is it to much? How high would you go. Is there any place to get info on coolers like you have for machines. I don't how to determine anything on coolers, although I like them.
Thanks

There is a Collectible Picnic Coolers & Ice Chests book in the Vending rack\Literature page of this site {shameless plug by Jim}.
I think the guy is a little high. Even though he says the inside is clean, I wish he would have taken a pic with the sandwich tray removed. With shipping, you would be paying $110+. I think you can do better unless you really need one.

I liked it, plus it looks like an easy restore compared to my LARGER projects. I'll call it my "practice piece", it'll pump me up for the big ones... Unless I suck  '> I got for $84 with ground instead of priority.

That's not bad. It isn't like you overpaid.

Dave,
This a very practical way to practice prior to tackling the bigger more expensive projects. There's a lot of gratification in doing things on your own!

Thanks Guys! Jim I'm going to get the cooler guide. Nashville has a large swap Downtown every 3rd weekend of the month. I think I could do pretty well with cooler sales alot easier to lug than machines!!!

Be careful. The introduction of reproduction coolers that look restored for less than $200.00 seems to have kicked the bottom out of the original cooler market!
By the time I buy and restore a cooler..........I'm in it over $200

Thanks Moondawg. The 4 months I've gone, I've been suprised there is not much coke stuff there repro's or original. I heed your warning though I'll play it cautious. Besides I don't have one, so it will be fun to just restore and keep.

That's a progress cooler. I have one in RC. If I am not mistaken
they are the more collectable of the coolers.
For £25.00 you can't go wrong.
