Because of how rare it is, and no recent sales of a machine like this, I would say the value is worth what someone will ultimately pay for it.  Is any machine we own worth what it is? Well, you can argue that they are worth what they are because that's what people are willing to pay for them (did I just argue with myself there lol).

Is this  machine priceless?  By no means no... it's just price unknown right now.  Even if someone pays 15k for it, it doesn't mean that the next one that ever comes up is worth 15k.  All it means is that one person was willing to pay that.  Is there another 15k buyer out there? If so, then a pattern emerges and we could then say it worth X.

Either way, it's a great rare machine, one that I would love to own, but I love my life more.  I would be dead if I payed 15k for this....  my wife can attest to that.

I did see two similar ones sold on live auctioneers. One is just an ice chest version from Schmidt museum sold for 2100 and a refrigerated version that sold for 2600 but wasn't the vend top style. I think it's probably in the 5000-7500 range but when their aren't many for sale ask what you want. You just may get it.

Well he has the offer option.. that's smart and probably the way it will go... He's testing the waters to see what it's worth... hope
if it sells we can find out some how... If I was a strict Coca-Cola collector that would be a piece to have.

Yes the refrigerated one in the schmidt auction was similar to this one and it was right at the $2500 mark like Seth said.  So is this one worth 15K???  If it was that valuable then I am sure that a collector at the schmidt auction would have snapped it up.  Just my 2 cents, but it is a very nice looking piece.

Could be a "head fake", put five figures on it, get someone maybe to offer him $3000 thinking they'd get a deal. If he's claiming he's had an offer over $10K, that's not likely.

I'm going along with you on this one. I think he threw up a bogus "buy it now" to see what happens. If your not sure what something is worth start high and go from there. Not a bad strategy.
If someone hits the buy it now at 15,000 in the end he will probably put 10,000 in his pocket after all the ebay fee's.  biggrin  He might as well take the offer he has now.

Then again if he would take 3000.00 It would be mine.  biggrin Seriously though It makes me not even want to make an offer after I hear "someone will give me 10,000". To me that means I'm taking nothing less which is ok if there's a real offer. Now if he doesn't and wants serious offers then that's a bad strategy because he may have just scared away a real buyer.

If I had a spare 15K, I'd think I'd put it toward an RC81. Or a Vendo 39, and pocket the change

I second that Leonard! I would love to have a deluxe if only they were more reasonable. Nice collection of Glascock's you have there. I do agree the deluxe would have looked good in there next to all those. I love the Glascock's color combo of green and red it just goes great together.
