I am involved in an auction on a Frigidaire Coca Cola fridge and are unsure of the value.
The fridge is in good condition but the cables should be replaced, it works well. They are not as common here in Sweden so then the question is what it might be worth?
Please help since it starting to get costly =/ it looks so cool and I really want it.
Thanks on beforehand.

Then what could it be worth if you had to take a guess?
It works fine and in really good condition.
Wow that low =/
The serious coca-cola collector would not be interested in this piece ,as it is not an original, company produced item. How-ever, the person looking for a cool piece for their retro games room, should expect to pay in excess of $1000, for a piece like this, as the man-hours and workmanship involved make these pricey to produce.
I have seen these listed locally, and they range from $500 for a private seller, to $1500 for a dealer/restorer of these. Cool re-use of a nice vintage item.
Thanks for the reply. I have a hard time finding vintage refrigerator here in Sweden. I dont know but suply and demand =) I got carried away and before I know it my last bid was 1100 usd. Its not over but Im gonna stop there. I want it, I have never seen anything like here but its a bit much already. I really tought it was an orginal from Coca Cola Company.. =/

You are not out of line yet on your bid on this, the machine looks totally, professionally done over, and if you like it , it's worth what-ever you pay, & you will be the only one in your town to have one!
What's a new, boring, plain-looking refrigerator cost there?
Thanks pickrknows, it feels a lot better now =) For a second I tought Ive done my worst deal ever. I cant stop looking at it, its so cool. Gonna look awsome with my pinball mashine side by side =)
A new machine "the boring kind" is about the same price but they look so boring I could die.. All white with plastic details all over..
Since I have you on the line, what do you think about this:

I would love to have this piece. These go for $2000-4000 here in Canada, where it likely came from originally!
pickrknows: Nice piece! Wow thats a lot, 2000-4000$. I wonder how I can see its an orginal and not a reproduced one. Dont want to do any mistakes.. Well the bid is up to 150$ right now. But i found this webpage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHELL-GAS-PUMP-NEW-OIL-ANTIQUE-REPRODUCTION-FREE-SHIP-/350059528040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51812c7f68
It got me a bit scared, it looks a bit apart tough! What do you think?
I can't read the Swede write-up, but they should be disclosing if it's not all original. It looks good to me, the crank has been repaired, every thing rechromed ,re-painted, or re-placed. Usually the globes, hoses etc are replaced, but even the repo on your link is $1000 plus shipping, and it's basically a nice storage locker for your oil cans!
The auction one looks like the real-deal to me!
pickrknows: Thank you so much!
No Problem, you are welcome Johan!
