Roger Durflinger's Poison Bottle book - 1/6/2012 7:57:38 AM    Longhunter   Posts: 224 Joined: 2/16/2009 From: Meridian, Mississippi Status: offline A few days ago I started searching for Roger Durflinger's Poison Bottle book and the few I found were EXPENSIVE. There is one on ebay with a"buy it now" price of $75! I made a couple of offers up to $45 but they were turned down. Then I took a shot at Amazon. The prices there were around $60 bucks so I was about to give up UNTIL........ I hit a "pamphlet" for $9 bucks at Amazon named "poison Bottles". As I read the description I began to wonder if it was the book or just a few stapled pages or something. I figured "what the heck" and bought it for the $9 plus shipping. WELL....... it turned out to be the book! And I didn't pay $75 and I didn't pay $60....... I only paid $13.95 shipped to my door. It is a bit faded but I am OK with that.

Status: offline Hmmmmm..... would have to consult the wife.  She doesn't like being kept out of the loop.  I guess only if she would like the book for it's historic value of the hobby.  The book itself isn't worth that much, really.  They are listed for a lot, but they aren't selling for a lot as I see them listed quite often...so they aren't particularly rare.  Just a nice go-with. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

I watched one on ebay for the longest with a buy-it-now of $75. I made 2 offers but was turned down at $45. I figured I could do better. I have about $30 each in these so if you want to make a trade that will be the value we can work with. The blue one is marked $3.95 and the white one is marked $1.95. The insides are identical. The blue one has the price sheet inside. Attachment (1) _____________________________ ---Mike--- I have been bitten by the poison bottle bug..... no known cure.
