I SO need to send a, "Are you kidding me?" email.   upside

 This cooler is worth every penny that is being asked. I've found them on line.restored selling for well over $1000.00. I have contacted " ricks restoration in las Vegas" about restoring this one to It's original beauty .

OK just to test if I'm learning......around here (Boston) I  see these pop all the time on craigslist in better and worse condition.  I would guess that a value of 125-200 MAX in this condition.  How'd I do?   and be nice, I am new and don't collect coolers, just see them on the fly on here.............

I see them on craigslist in Mass anywhere from $65 to 150, but I wont travel 2 hours for a $65 cooler due to the gas.

I would not pay over 50 to 60 dollars for one in that condition.  I like dealing with Eric better...

I've never paid more than $75, and in better condition.  I've never found one with the sandwich tray, which will raise the value a bit, but I don't plan on using it, so it's not a factor for me.
Here in Michigan I've only seen 1 RC cola, Dr Pepper and and overpriced Pepsi cooler. Quite a bit of Coke - anywhere in the range MaineT suggested.
Condition is  a big factor. Looks like that one has been near a fire, crackling on one side, soot marks on the other. The bottoms are notorious for rusting out, the seller doesn't show it.

I am getting really tired of all these rubes thinking they have a great treasure because they've seen some other rube list something at an inflated price... and that rube got his idea from Rick's Restorations.   darn
