The real question is does it have value to you?

I really like yours ..Goodluck no matter what you do with it

Status: offline 		Wow, That pack of chaw is probably worth more than twice as much as the best bottle in the box you got. I've seen unopened packs of cigarettes, and chewing tobacco in particular, go for well over 500 bucks. Isolated cases perhaps, but in general that class of stuff is insanely desirable. The tobacco collectors are hardcore, so I seriously wouldn't be surprised if you got 200+ for the thing. Mebbe I'm wrong, but with it being unopened and over 100 years old I would wager that it is by far the best thing from the box. Good score!

So what other "junk" was at this sale?
