If I wanted to sell some bottles... - 2/28/2004 9:51:09 PM    bottle_girl   Posts: 35 Joined: 12/1/2003 Status: offline I'm considering selling some of my "less precious" bottles at my mom's flea market booth. Based on those of you who buy from flea market/antique stores, are you more likely to buy a bottle if it is displayed neatly and labeled "Antique Medicine Bottle, 1870s-1880s", or if it is just put on a shelf and labeled "Old Bottle"? Which is more attractive to a collector in the market for some new pieces? Bottle Girl Post #: 1

RE: If I wanted to sell some bottles... - 3/1/2004 10:57:54 AM    Guest Hi bottle-girl. As for my 2 cents, I think you should go with "Antique Medicine Bottle". This terminology probably won't matter to an established collector, but it might strike a chord with a non-collector who's just looking for something "neat". _____________________________ Always looking Mint Cola bottles, and local bottles from North Carolina (in reply to bottle_girl)   Post #: 3

The more "proper"or factual sounding the wording in the advertising,the more sales.You're right.It isa ploy,but it works.Good Luck with the sale! (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 4
