A restored Coke machine can be worth 6-7000. Do a little research on the net.

You will be surprised at how much vintage Coca Cola items will sell for if they are in good shape. Don't be low balled or accept any talk down in price. Keep it up on Kijiji for a few weeks, and the amount of interest coming in will let you know if you are too high or too low.

My grandfather was a manager of a Coca Cola plant in Brandon Manitoba for many years, and I have a bunch of his memorabilia. I don't have interest in buying your cooler Timba, but if you send me a pic I should be able to steer you in the right direction for price.

If you've been tripping over it for a number of years, another month or two will not matter, just get a good price!

I like the way you think.

Now let's just take this one step further........

Use a portion of the profit to buy her something nice, and then play it up. You're sitting on the ultimate win-win situation here my friend.

There has to be model# or manufacturer info on it somewhere. Also if you google , vintage coke machine pics, you will get hundreds of pictures of coke machines. klik on the pic and you'll get the info on the machine.Post a pic and let the bidding begin.lol

But dont sell it to them. Whatever they offer is about 1/3 the actual value.
