Question:
Our church has a 5 gallon Red Wing water cooler with what appears to be the original lid. The lid has a "chip" on the edge about the size of a quarter. There are no other cracks. Both handles are fine. A date has been painted on the front of it. We are in need of funds to build a new community building and would be interested in sell this water cooler. Could you give us an idea of how much it is worth? And the best way to "advertise" it for sale? Thanks Dorothy

Answer: Dorothy, too bad the lid has a chip out of it. A perfect 5 gallon water cooler lid by itself has a value between $300 & $350. With the chip, the value will drop to $75 to $100. The 5 gallon Red Wing water cooler without the lid has a value around $300. This best place to sell you church’s Red Wing water cooler may be eBay. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
