Sorry, I was talking out of my ass a few minutes ago...<br /><br />Personally, I thought the one on ebay had several issues and not much going for it in terms of color or character....But the winner probably feels they got a good deal and perhaps added a scarce fifth they had been looking to acquire for some time. I hope the winner finds the bottle to be more beautiful than the pictures suggested.

But damage is damage. I'd compare it to buying a car with a few cracked windows and a ripped seat...or even worse, since at least you can replace a cars windows or seat. Whereas you're stuck with the damage on a bottle.<br /><br />I was surprised that bottle even broke $1,000 with several moderate flakes on the base rim. I wouldn't have paid even $600 for it. Not when I saw a mint one was listed for sale at the Pomona show for $2k and a yellow one for around $3k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-43755171803077707492009-12-14T17:47:33.584-08:002009-12-14T17:47:33.584-08:00Shucks Doc.

I'm just a country boy who still believes in his fellow man. <br /><br />Why, just the other day I read about a rare bottle on ebay described as "mint except for a small no harm fissure emanating from one corner at the bottom and gracefully creeping upwards". Hmm, didn't sound like much. 'Till I got the requested photos. The seller was lucky that the entire piece of recycling material hadn't come apart at the seams...<br /><br />We've kicked this can around the block a time or two. In a nutshell, we can't seem to police the inexperienced, ignorant, dance in the gray area and or crooked sellers on ebay, and EBAY proper doesn't seem to give a rip as long as they are raking in a small fortune. <br /><br /><br />Best bet is to do what more and more of us have elected to do; request written confirmation of condition and refuse to bid if the seller remains silent. That way, it's their loss and not our headache once the garbage arrives in the mail<br /><br />Shucks, we're all just country boys at heart and want to believe that all folks are inherently good. We just need to help them let their good side show~Kentucky Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201818884914482275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-64035312181860476582009-12-14T17:45:12.744-08:002009-12-14T17:45:12.744-08:00When I'm considering paying that kind of money...When I'm considering paying that kind of money for a bottle, hold the Chips & Dips please.Golden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-77851516793503972642009-12-14T14:34:29.848-08:002009-12-14T14:34:29.848-08:00Come Onnnnn K-Gem, you should know by now, that is...Come Onnnnn K-Gem, you should know by now, that is a Typical Ebay Mint description or Lack Of. I like when people over describe the bottle I am looking to bid on, as when I get it, and it arrives, I like to be suprised with it being actually better than described. This is why I usually only buy from a certain few Dealers who seem to have some sort of Life Standards still. It sure if Fun to get a Nice Old Bottle, and it still Sucks to get a WTF Bottle.

The lack of any response from a seller is a death knell to his/her auction. No talkee, no bidee. In this case, the bottle ended as it should have, with little interest and low bids. I also have a problem with the overuse of the vague term "flea bite". How large or small a ding qualifies as this description? If a flea bites can you see it? Little things bug me in my advanced years.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.com
