Title: A little help on the value of a 7up Ideal 55 Value and Pepsi Double dot Post by: bcharlton on August 08, 2013, 10:23:34 am I have a couple of non embossed/generic Ideal 55 sliders that are complete that I can use the racks.
I am looking at a 7up Ideal 55 that does not have a rack. Get's cold and the coin mech is present . I would do a complete restoration and I have an extra rack. What is the going rate for a 7up embossed with no rack? Also, How about the same question for a Pepsi double dot embossed Ideal 55 with no rack that works and has the coin mech?

I usually sell the boxes seperatley on my local craigslist between $300-$350. If they are the Ideal High Boy's with the chrome top coin mechanism's they sell for for $200. The flapper's are around $35-$50. Capcatcher are $75-$100. I would say without the racks with everything else around $575-$650. It would leave some room for someone if they wanted to buy a rack. If they don't want a rack you may suggest removing the coin mechanism, flapper, and leaving the capcatcher. Than you could lower the price a little. I think price is the same whether you buying the 7up, or selling the Pepsi.

I've owned both sliders as well, and Pepsi 55's are a tougher sell for me in my part of the country (Michigan). I've been able able to sell 7-up sliders very quickly (both embossed and non-embossed), or at least faster than the Pepsi's. Orange Crush 55's...well that's a different story! :laugh: They sell themselves!

Does that include the flapper? I never have flappers because lately mine have been cut, or missing with no rack! :laugh: Title: Re: A little help on the value of a 7up Ideal 55 Value and Pepsi Double dot Post by: Slider-Bob on August 08, 2013, 02:15:31 pm Does that include the flapper?

I sell that pair for $250 also.

The market is pretty much the same in the southwest. I buy embossed 55 shells for $300-$400. More for really good ones. Generics are a little less. Racks and mechs. are pretty universally priced with the internet in play. 7UP and pepsi are at the weaker end of the scale here. Not as much demand.
