Things go better with Coke, but sell better when they're the right size

Coca-cola cooler made by Westinghouse
         Original paint, just the right size price, $2,395
Sometimes the size of a collectible has a lot to do with it's value. Take for example this vintage Coke Cooler made by Westinghouse. At just about 3ft. tall it's the perfect size for the game room or camp.

Therefore it commands a premium of $2,395. Now the gigantic sized "coffin" models that you see in country stores etc. may have a high price tag, but usually won't sell very fast at all, and the seller will often be very eager to cut the price. After all, how many people have room for something like that?

  Things go better with....Coke!  But things go better when they're in the "cute" size which means a larger percentage of the population has use for them.

If your investing in collectibles for resale, be very cautious of buying things like oversized hutches, massive chests of drawers or anything that's so big very few people will have room for them.

Thanks for reading,

AW
