Hello! My Fleetcraft still had its original Trav'ler Icebox which is roughly the size of a dorm fridge. Iceboxes can be nice to have off-grid but good modern insulated coolers can totally cover that need; I'm planning to swap out my icebox for a compact refrigerator around Christmas (my parents offered it up as a Christmas gift). I was wondering if my icebox has any sales value and what would be a fair asking price? Does anyone have perspective?
It is turquoise and it appears to be in mostly good condition with a working drain. The exception is some discoloration on the door which may or may not be cleanable and a hole in the top door corner of the door about the size of my thumb through which I can see the foam board between the plastic skin and the actual door. Were I keeping it I'd be considering adding insulation inside the shell as I'm betting this is why it won't stay cold for longer than 1 day. It would probably benefit from having its current exterior insulation replaced as well. (my shelving is open so it's kinda hanging out in midair and I can see the layer of insulation wrapping around it). I was going to try to add pictures to this post but I can't figure out how; the 'insert image' button won't let me upload from the computer.

You have to link your pics from another site such as Photo Bucket, Flckr or even Facebook. There is a photo tutorial at the beginning of each section on the board.

Just taking a WAG, I'd say $35-$40 plus packing and shipping is what I have seen iceboxes such as yours advertised for. Don't worry about that ugly insulation...most look the same, and once installed it should not be visible except maybe from inside the kitchenette cabinet.

SusieQ-Thank you! I am infamously terrible at website navigation. VintageBruce-Thank you I wasn't sure if it was in the $20-30 range or higher.
