Seeking info on United Cellars of San Jose

[JargonScott]

Howdy,

I have an opportunity to purchase a 250ish bottle cellar that was made in 1999 by a company called United Cellars inc out of San Jose California. Are they still in business? The unit is a model VC 260.

Any help would be much appreciated!-Nate

I called the number, it appears to have been disconnected.

The guy who posted it on craigslist had the receipt, he bought it from a wine accessory store in Dallas about 15 years ago. I called the store and they said United Cellars has been out of business for a number of years.

I went and looked at the unit and it seems to me that it will work well for my purposes (I'm going to pull the storage slots out and convert it to a humidor).

Does anybody have a rough idea of how much these things cost used? It's about the size of a standard refridgerator and has a Breezaire cooling unit. Brand new he said it cost around $1500.

Cheers,
Nate
