Status: offline 		Just picked this eagle cornucopia up for a little over 100! Showed up with attic dust still on it, one of the nicest examples I've seen. Has the Keene hinged mold base. I'm stoked!

Love it when you either find a bargain or sell a bottle for a more than you had thought it was worth.
Hate it when the bottle you won is not as described or the buyer never completes the auction.

Status: offline 		Generally I've always felt that ebay represented the low end of retail, esp for average items.  However for that rare item it can easily be above retail, although Chris is right, often collectors would have paid more if offered to them directly.  Of course you have to know the right collectors to offer the items to before listing.

Recently I've sold several bottles on ebay and have been happy with the results.

Status: online 		Ebay is a great place to unload 'em if you don't expect too much, and occasionally some freak phenomenon occurs and ..well, we've seen it.. but it can be perfectly tortuous if you list one with high hopes.. as a buyer, I see it like free gambling.. I throw a low bid in on stuff I like, and every once in a while I win, but nothing to lose if I don't.
Whether or not the package at my door resembles the bottle I supposedly won is part of the gamble, of course..

Status: offline 		Dang, it looks like our flasks could of come from the same batch same hand... I've decided to add eagle bottles to my collection, so there's a wide range of posabties out there now, I think this was the cream of the crop starter flask for that area, so I'm stoked. Thanks everyone for checking it out. Hope to take the eagle off the endangered list in my collection soon!
