Rival Crock-Pot slow cooker, 5 quart, 1970s
A 1970s Rival Crock-Pot slow cooker in the 5 quart size, the avocado-era appliance people find in basement kitchens and still buy for retro style or simple cooking. Value is low but steady when the ceramic crock, lid and heating element all work.
Estimated resale range (used)
$12 – $30
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
- Inspect the ceramic crock and lid for chips, cracks and crazing, especially around the rim and handles.
- Plug it in and test that it heats on both settings, and check the cord and plug for cracking or scorching.
- Look over the metal housing for rust, dents and paint loss, and confirm the lid fits the crock properly.
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.
