Karen and I are preparing for a move and are going to sell this cooler rather then take it with us. It was great when there were 6 of us here, we could keep all the drinks we could ever want cold in it.The 4 kids have gone onto their own lives now so it isn't being used. It is a CFT-54 model. That yardstick on top is actually 4' long to give you an idea how large it is. The compressor and motor were replaced with new and converted to R134 about 5 years ago. It works flawlessly. I don't know what value to put on this and if you think I have it priced wrong, don't be afraid to share your opinions. $600? Thanks, Dave

That is a big one for sure. At that price I dont think it will be for sale too long. Since it works & cools that is not a bad buy in my book smile

Thanks for the input! It sounds like I have it priced right, just gotta find the right buyer. Dave

Hate to burst your bubble. I buy and sell about 10-15 pop machines a year (mostly 40-50's). I always pass on these general store coolers, not worth the effort. Tough to sell in any condition. You will need a lot of luck to get $600.00.

I am speaking from experience and not guessing on the value forum. Judging from the above posts; you may want to consider shipping it to IL.

I just got rid of mine,I took out the refridgeration and saved it and took the stainless steel shelf and put it on a smoker i was building and scraped the rest, they are a hard sell unless you have some one that needs a big worm box.

like i said, has to be a business... I passed on one that was very similar to this for $100, so the above posts are correct.

doesnt mean you can't get $600, just means it will take a long time and a lot of searching to find that new business owner that might fork out for it

Or Forward Air. I just sold a 4 door embossed Victor that was in great condition for 600.00 and was glad to give it a new zip code.

Maybe I'll just put my book of "Forever" stamps and your address on it and see if the USPS will take it! If I knew of anybody going to Peotone from here, I'd say it would be workable
