I found this on ebay. It has only 18 hours left for bidding. Seller wants $100! I looked at buying it but I can't afford to ship it from Houston to Phoenix. Wood all around, double doors, six shelves each side, holds aprox 220 bottles. I called VinoTemp, they thought that it was a custom built cooler with the Wine Mate cooler inside. Good pics on the ebay listing. Listing is quoted below. Happy Hunting Houstoners!
"This auction is for one Wine Cooler, Cellar, Chiller. I don't know anything about it other than it came from an estate of a VERY LARGE HOUSE. It has the name of Wine Mate Wine Cooler. It is 82 1/2 HIGH, 53" WIDE, 29 1/2" DEEP. It has 12 shelves and will hold 18 plus bottels per shelf if you stack them three high. The cooler is in the top back of the cabinet and is called Wine Mate. The Make is a VINO 2500 WKC. 115 VOLTS 60 HZ 5 AMPS R134 A REFRIGERANT. It was working when we got it and we have plugged it in and it runs and cools. We know nothing about how cold it should get but this cooler looks to be in great condition. If you have any questions, please e-mail us and we will do our best to find out the answer. We had a question on the temp. We put an outside thermometer in the middle of the unit for two hours and the temp read 62 degrees. Don't know if that is the kind of thermometer to use. It is located in Houston, Texas and will have to be picked up at it's location."

It's up to $400 now...I might have to send the link over to a buddy looking for a large cooler.

Dat
Hook 'Em!

You mean this one?
Bidding is now at $400. That's a pretty sweet deal if the cooler unit is still in good condition; it's got the same 2500 BTU cooler that I'm buying new for $600.

Worth finding out how old the unit is by getting the serial number. The shelving looks crap though.

I don't know anything about these things, but it appears that water has been running down the inside wall. Looks like the cooler may need replacing.

Good eye tanglenet.

That is a very bad sign and it also looks like there is a bit of mold where the water ran. If you look closely, the bottom of the cooling unit is also rusting.

I wouldn't touch this thing with a 10 foot pole.
