It only has the two side signs and a wooden lid. Starting price of $400 and has a reserve. Way overpriced.

UPDATE
Reserve has been removed. Still overpriced at $400.

Cool,
 but just like all of these neat coolers with sign panel inserts... It's a killer to restore the sign and probably detracts from value .

the old principle of don't restore signs, it hurts their value.
but
Restore coolers as it increases their value...

it's a toss up with these style as it's a mix of both and in my opionion, makes ones like this one, not as valuable cause the signs are shot...

if it was an embossed cooler , it's much easier and makes sense to restore?

any other thoughts?

Yeah I saw/watching it... those signs are on eBay all the time... almost all there is in this brand...
if the sign has the embossed rounded corners it's a cooler insert... I have one of the side pannel signs
thought of getting all four and waiting for one of these coolers to pop up near me and make one.
With no lids and just 2 signs way too much. Maybe at Chicago show one will be sitting...
