Title: Cool Auction Post by: Ben on February 06, 2016, 10:52:17 pm I'm sure I can't afford anything at this auction, but I may have to go anyway. About 200 miles, but man, so much cool stuff.

Bug's, 'I want they', list just grew. Thank you for sharing. Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: Ben on April 09, 2016, 09:34:47 pm I didn't make it to this auction, but I did get to check out some of it online. They went 12 hours straight today, and still have more online and allot more on site. I couldn't force myself to bid on anything (18% online fee), but here are a few of the buys. You can go to the website and see what everything sold for.

Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: Lincoln22 on April 10, 2016, 11:19:41 am I think some people got some pretty good buys looking at the prices. I don't know the quality or age of the restorations, but considering the average machine restoration of $4,000, not counting buying the machine, looks like there should be some happy collectors from the auction. And wow what a gorgeous 7up 81!
Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: MoonDawg on April 10, 2016, 12:23:07 pm A Westinghouse 42 brought in $2,000.00.........WOW! :jawdrop:
Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: Ben on April 10, 2016, 04:15:04 pm A few more examples: :biggrin: .. and even more Petroliana than Coke. The price of signs blows me away.
Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: Jared on April 10, 2016, 08:18:11 pm Looked like a great collection
Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: ajf5577 on April 10, 2016, 09:41:24 pm It dismays me that people still pay top dollar for the " airline " Coca Cola coolers. They are not rare, but they bring the price.
The Salesmanship sample cooler sure was a bargain. Rick Dale said they're worth over $4,000.00 :wow: All sarcasm aside, it did look like some cool stuff. Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: coke_and_stuff on April 10, 2016, 10:30:49 pm A good friend of mine bought the 7up 81, It is going to a good home!
Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: Ben on April 11, 2016, 10:07:58 am A good friend of mine bought the 7up 81, It is going to a good home! I was wondering if anyone from this group might be bidding. Glad to hear it went to a friend. Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: HowDueYouDue on April 11, 2016, 08:49:32 pm Pretty strong prices there. Agreed. Curious to know who paid over $225 for a Carousel gumball machine Title: Re: Cool Auction Post by: mznb1u on April 12, 2016, 09:07:48 pm Agreed. Curious to know who paid over $225 for a Carousel gumball machine I bought that exact same machine at a garage sale for $5.00! I would say $225 is quite strong price wise! :drinking: Tim :drinking: |
