Agree and speaking of crazy prices, here are the bottles from the show selling.............

http://www.darrellgambler.com/cocacola-various-bottles-and-crate-144-prd1.htm

For some reason his price reminds me of a 1970's song by Kenny Nolan called "I like dreaming"... not sure why... lol Cool

But are people actually getting the prices they are asking? Once they are told the bottles are worth $$$ or they see something on TV, are they able to actually sell for those prices? If not, they are going to have to come down or sit on it. I think the problem will be (or is) when people are paying those prices like they were with the housing market a few years ago. That's when the market will be screwed up. If not, won't the prices just adjust?

What I notice is crazy prices and things that used to sell quickly now sitting on the market for ages because the seller actually believes his price is right and that everyone contacting him is lowballing him or just being cheap... after all, if they saw an "expert" saying it must be worth a ton of money, the expert MUST be right, right? Wink

What sellers DON'T seem to realize is that NOTHING is worth more than the market will bear... yes, once in a while the seller will encounter a buyer with more money than brains who just HAS to have his item, but with money as tight as it is I don't think there are many of those around any more... Sad

>> Personally, i'd like to  see the backlash when real experts chime in and   blow the lids of these shows. Once can dream...

I submitted a general concept for a real collectors show. Just missed cut-off for this season consideration.
There is interest but things seem to take a long time in TV production land. Why I do not know.
Any good news will get posted.

Case of 24 CocaCola Bottles. Various styles and some are rare / vintage. As seen on TV. These are very collectible, and some are very rare.

We had them professionally appraised at $600. Due to the fragile nature of the contents, Local Pickup ONLY!

That's understandable to have them "professionally appraised", but it were up to me I would just double check the appraisers quote. These days there are so many other sources to find out pricing information.. How can he honestly just off of one "price quote" and expect to sell it without researching it any further..

I would have at least buffed up the bottles and cleaned them before putting them for sale. Doing that he might be able to get an extra dollar biggrin

If you are ever in Nevada, I know of a pawn shop you could double check with. Ask for a person by the name of Chumlee.  lol
