Hi & welcome! Now as a rule "bigger isn't always better" when it comes to soda machines & coolers, smaller machines are more in demand simply because A: they're easier to move, & B:most people don't have the space for a bigger machine, I personally would only pay about half the going rate on a "Giant" or "Master" size chest cooler as I would pay for say the same size in a "Standard" size or in your case, say WD12/WD10  simply because of the above general rules, when it comes down to resale time, it's hard to move a bigger machine.(no pun intended  :p )   on the good news side of things a two-tone machine such as shown in your catalog shot/picture would be worth more as people will generally pay more for the "Look" as compared to a solid "red" machine (in Coke) The Book says ~$300.00 for a WD"Giant" as compared to a ~$475.00 for a WD10 "Standard" so between ~$300-400 if you adjust for inflation would be a good starting point in my opinion... hope it helps!   PS... I own a "Giant" True 2-door "patio" size Pepsi cooler with a stainless steel serving counter,(60's square-corner style) yep its a bigggg boy! it took 4 people to load & unload it off the trailer, now imagine trying to shoe-horn it into a basment! see what I mean?
