Title: Should i buy this glasco 50??? need advice
Post by: SIGNGUY on August 05, 2006, 01:57:39 pm
Ok, Most of you know I've been looking for a nice Glasco GBV-50 Slider.. I did fine a nice Ideal 35 that I'm restoring. Then this lady sends me this picture of this all original and complete Glasco 50 to see if I want to buy it? It's the nicest original I've seen and is all complete even with the pre-cooling self still installed and fan. It's super clean and cools great.. Rack is all there and all clean ,no rust anywhere on this thing. It'll cost me about 750 total including shipping.. Seems high but it's complete and doesn't need a thing...

HELP??? what shoudl I do!!!?? :darn:

Looks nice and clean.
The question is, is it worth $750 to you?  If so, get it.  (How much are these things worth anyway?)  Plus you hit the nail on the head, " it's complete and doesn't need a thing" so you will not have to buy anything for it.  I know how it is when you buy something and then spend a bunch of money on other things for it.  Does it cool?

I admire an original like this much more than the same machine restored.
       If you plan on keeping this Glasco and not restoring it or re-selling it............the price is right.
       You can always sell the 35 when it's done if you don't need 2 sliders

If you paid 300 or 400 for one and then had to restore it you would still have that much in it.  That is the nicest orginal slider I have ever seen.  

MoonDawg what do you mean you dont need two sliders.  I have two please dont tell my wife...

That's what I meant when I was discussing mine with you. You would have had the same money by the time it got dhipped to you but know rack. For your use on the porch it's just what the doctor ordered. If the wiring is good and the internal fan inside the bottle area work you can't beat it! Even if the both need to be changed it's still a great deal. I love the lower profile coin mech also.
