Liquidating poison collection, simon centenial bitters ... - 10/6/2006 4:57:20 PM    barb2   Posts: 23 Joined: 10/6/2006 Status: offline HI I am a new member.  After months of thinking, I have decided to sell my father's and my bottle collection.   I have lots of poisons, an original Simon Centenial Bitters bottle-amber- and many more. I need help understanding what is the best way to sell them, private sale, auction, giving them to someone to sell for a fee??  How do you go about figuring out what their value is today??  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  Anyone interesed feel free to make an offer I can' refuse!! Thanks, Barb Post #: 1

I can't find the last one that sold online. I'd guess about 2000-3000. I wouldn't ebay that one. Use a  good auction house, maybe Heckler. A commision is the same as a fee but they'ld realy know what they're doing Go to Conn tomorrow, there's a big time going on there. The poison people will be asking for details soon I'm sure. Good luck and nice to have you hear. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to barb2) Post #: 2

With some bottles, you can do well selling privately to a collector, other times an auction is the best option. Poisons are the main thing I collect. Thanks! ~Jim PS: I would definitely recommend Heckler or another reputable bottle auction house for the Simon's. That is a very rare and desirable bottle! < Message edited by Jim -- 10/6/2006 7:35:08 PM > _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 3

Thanks, Barb (in reply to barb2) Post #: 5

When you go to upload a picture for your post on the forum, click the browse button and find the file that has you bottle pictures. Then, select the picture that you want to add to the post and click OK. Sometimes, my pictures come up too large. If this happens, I right click on the photo in my file to edit it, then reduce the size by half and it works. I hope this helps . ~Jim Rick- I'm so glad to hear that you have some extra room....I'm going to send you 100 amber Clorox bottles for Christmas . And yes, they are all gallon screw-tops! ~Jim < Message edited by Jim -- 10/7/2006 7:51:08 PM > _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to barb2) Post #: 6
