Title: Wanting to Buy a Quickold Junior or Standard
Post by: Lincoln22 on February 27, 2015, 06:23:32 pm
I am looking for an odd-brand Quickold Junior Cooler (maybe a standard also).  I would prefer a DR. Pepper or Royal Crown, but am open to seeing what anyone would part with.  I am prepared to pay going rate, as I know these are very hard to come by!  Thank you.  I am in Moline, Illinois.  Feel free to pm, call, or text me. 309-373-5710

A RC Jr. Quikold was for sale well over a year ago on Ebay, (restored) and went for 2500 ish (I remember cause I was bidding on it early on, but then dropped out at my limit)

A Jr Dr Pepper I think would sell for more

A Jr of either in original condition would easy be selling for 1k in my opinion.
They just don't come up for sale.

Are you open to a 7up Quikold?  they are much more common...

Yes...I'm willing to pay those prices or more.  Yes I'd consider a 7up for sure.

You can add me, Eric, Lonny, and MaineT  (I'm sure there are others) that are looking for the exact same coolers as you lol.

Being at the right place at the right time helps, and in my case, great members on this site as well.

Half of the quikolds I own are because of members on the board!  I thank them and my wife curses them lol

Very tough coolers to find. An original Orange Crush Jr sold at an auction here last summer missing the base for $1710. Only one I have seen in years, and I have been looking a long time.
