Title: Picnic Cooler...I SO want to send an email.
Post by: halehouse on July 31, 2012, 05:55:36 pm
I SO need to send a, "Are you kidding me?" email.   :upside:

 This cooler is worth every penny that is being asked. I've found them on line.restored selling for well over $1000.00. I have contacted " ricks restoration in las Vegas" about restoring this one to It's original beauty .

OK just to test if I'm learning......around here (Boston) I  see these pop all the time on craigslist in better and worse condition.  I would guess that a value of 125-200 MAX in this condition.  How'd I do?   and be nice, I am new and don't collect coolers, just see them on the fly on here.............

I see them on craigslist in Mass anywhere from $65 to 150, but I wont travel 2 hours for a $65 cooler due to the gas.

I would not pay over 50 to 60 dollars for one in that condition.  I like dealing with Eric better...

I've never paid more than $75, and in better condition.  I've never found one with the sandwich tray, which will raise the value a bit, but I don't plan on using it, so it's not a factor for me.
Here in Michigan I've only seen 1 RC cola, Dr Pepper and and overpriced Pepsi cooler. Quite a bit of Coke - anywhere in the range MaineT suggested.
Condition is  a big factor. Looks like that one has been near a fire, crackling on one side, soot marks on the other. The bottoms are notorious for rusting out, the seller doesn't show it.

I am getting really tired of all these rubes thinking they have a great treasure because they've seen some other rube list something at an inflated price... and that rube got his idea from Rick's Restorations.   :darn:

I was going to offer him "common sense"

It has all hardware and handles? (Where's the sandwich tray?) Too bad it doesn't have that, it would have raised the value hundreds more! lol :tounge:

I have a sandwich tray that I can let him have for 150.00 and then he can double the amount he is asking.
