Value of an embossed Pepsi double dot Ideal 55

[redhawk]

Hello Everyone, This is my very first post. I just became a member but have read many threads here. This place is SOOO COOL. I have located a possible buy. I am waiting for additional info, but based on the 2 pics she has, it is an ideal 55 slider with the embossed Pepsi Cola "double dot" logo. Thats all I know at this point until she gets back to me. It looks pretty rough, but she is asking $250 for it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Randy

Welcome.   
Price depends on many things. does it cool? how rough is "looks rough?" if the rack and coin mech, flapper, etc is there, and there aren't creases in the  emobssing then run over with the cash.

Hi Kilroy. I am waiting for her to call me back. I am getting jittery hoping she hasn't sold it. I think the double dot pepsi embossing should make it a little more rare. Is this true?

In the rough even if a few parts are missing I usually pay between $100-$175.

But there are times you get lucky and most of the parts are there, it runs and cools for around the same price.  

At least the price is starting low and its missing parts you can negotiate a lower one.  Individual parts can add up into the 500 range.

Post pics when you get a chance.

Hi  I think the double dot pepsi embossing should make it a little more rare. Is this true?

I wouldn't consider it rare.  But its much better in my opinion than a generic non embossed slider.

Not rare, more hard to find, but very high on my cool factor.
 Good luck, a Pepsi slider is still on my wish list, single or double dot. i have to much Coke red in my collection

And there is a wealth of slider knowledge here, and Slider-Bob to help out.

The double dot is harder to find then the single dot but IMO from what I have seen bring in the same money. I like the double dot much better as it is a bit older however the logo is smaller then the single dot as people sometimes like the larger embossed logo. You can't go wrong either way but the key to any slider as said here before is that is it complete? In this case the parts are worth more then the box if they are missing. To complete any slider figure these cost, rack $250, coin mech $150, and cap catcher $100.

Hey guys, thanks for the input. She sent a couple pics and says her husband will call me later with all the details. Here are the 2 pics she sent, but now that I see the 5 holes down on the toe kick area, I think it might be a Glasco 50.

Heres the other

Nor sure why the pics are so small
