CHICAGO, Dec. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Holy Grail of Coke Machines"
The "Victor Coca-Cola Kooler-Grill" is sure to capture the attention of every advanced coke collector throughout the world.
One of the most, if not the most unique and rarest Coke Coolers in existence. Consigned with Collector Concierge International by Historical Vending Co, HVC is world famous in collector circles for its massive soda machine collection and reputation for top tier restorations.
This Rare Jewel is 1 of 10 known to have survived form the very limited production of only 50 made in the 1950`s USA. It is not just a fancy Coca-Cola cooler; this is a complete concession stand unit, weighing close to 900 lbs and 91" long. These machines were rare from day one, incredibly expensive and difficult to move, resulting in the very limited production. This investment grade piece is for the discerning collector that demands the rarest and the best as a centerpiece for his collection!
The value and small global group that can afford such an item necessitated a highly reputable established company that could present it and be trusted to relocate it internationally.
Collector Concierge International was chosen for this task. Rick Sky explains "CCI was formed by a network of industry veterans to cater to the elite global collector community. CCI assists these advanced collectors in purchases, we recently relocated a 2 story carousel from NY to Shanghai China. CCi is also known for setting new standards in collection promotion and marketing when it is time to sell, an example of this marketing would be a Mold A Rama Collection we recently worked on. We work for Crows buying, finding & evaluating highly sought after rare & shiny jewels, then re locating and providing logistics anywhere in the world! We work for advanced collectors when selling some of the foremost collections primarily in North America, such collectors are often too busy, or respect the expertise our group brings to the table in adding value."
Lately things are exploding for us in Europe, UK and UAE with our association formed with "Bennies Fifties Store". The collector community has nicknamed us the the Global-Pickers. We are now selling whole collections out of the USA, being shipped for further distribution in containers leaving many times a year and offered in advance in our exclusive North America consignment item area. Collectors have options now, not just auctions, some of whom are horrible to deal with.
Auctions are sometimes necessary and can work if done right, we have collectors backs in this situation also with auction representation and enhanced collection promotion services.
If an auction is required or advantageous, we represent the seller negotiating. We assure the auction companies chosen are competitive and do their job properly. We further add value with custom enhanced marketing specific to your collection. Additionally we facilitate the international buyer's participation with our cost effective logistics services. In short we add value and protect sellers.
The dirty little secret most auction companies are deceptive about is their advertised sale prices often contain "the buyer's premium" but the seller gets no part of this, often 20%-28%, Also a consignment fee of 20%-25% and no reserve? Buyer`s do not pay more when items are at auction, usually they pay less due to quality concerns and let's be honest, the buyer's premium comes out of the sellers pocket also!
It does not take long to figure out CCI & Bennies Fifties Store have a superior risk free option in selling high dollar pieces and collections. Example being this Victor Kooler Grill, may achieve an advertised auction sale price of $75,000 but then subtract 20% Buyers fee ($15,000) and 25% consignments fee off the remaining 60k ($15,000) resulting in the seller net $45,000.
Now a more likely scenario as actions are not at all helpful in exporting such items; sale price of $45,000, (This is where no reserve hurts!) $9,000 20% Buyers fee and $9,000 25% consignments fee resulting in the seller net $27,000
If you are selling high dollar pieces such as this or a high dollar collection, it is time to call Collector Concierge International.
