Igloo Playmate cooler, 7 quart, red

A red Igloo Playmate cooler in the small 7 quart size, the classic lunch-and-day-trip cooler with the push-button lid. Used examples are common and inexpensive, with value driven by whether the latch, liner and handle are intact.

Estimated resale range (used)

$8 – $20

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Test the lid latch and hinge, since a Playmate with a broken latch or cracked hinge is a hard sell.
  • Look inside for stains, mildew and cracks in the white liner, especially around the bottom corners.
  • Check the handle and exterior plastic for cracks or heavy sun fading, and confirm the red color is not chalked out.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
