"These fridges go for $5,000 fully restored."

No, they don't. I've seen "modern vintage" reproductions that come close. I wonder if the seller's thinking of ranges.

But even if they did sell for that, your garage keg-erator doesn't automatically "earn" a fractional value of a restoration's price.

More like $150.

Bweh.. when will people realize that just because something is old, doesn't mean that it's worth a lot?

"These fridges go for $5,000 fully restored."

I've only seen a couple of fridges go for that kind of money: a Kelvinator Foodarama and a three door Monitortop. Otherwise, most professionally restored fridges sell for $1500-$3000.

Believe it or not...

I saw a 1956 Kelvinator Food-A-Rama in beautiful shape for sale on Denver CL a few months ago for, I think it was, $300!!!! ... I was almost tempted to rent a U-Haul and drive the 1800 miles on the spot!
