The big question I have is this....the rarity of some milks....are their rarity tied to regions they came from? If you get a $50 dollar half pint from Moo Right Dairy Farms....is that going to be worth $50 elsewere? It would seem logical that they would be tied to regionality (pardon spelling if wrong). Do milk collectors have a "bible" they turn to about milks?

RE: added a few new ones!! - 8/7/2011 3:57:18 PM    NYCFlasks Posts: 401 Joined: 9/11/2005 Status: offline Well, as some one who goes ga ga for local milks, they are very regional.  For example, I live in Sayville.  You will get the best price for a Sayville milk in Sayville, or online (eBay) where the Sayville people will see it.  If you try to sell it in your booth at the co-op in say, Kentucky, it is a 10-15 dollar bottle, as the people like me who will pay for a Sayville milk will never see it. Now, it gets tricky.  Again, for example, there are some Sayville milk bottles that I do not have, and would gladly pay hundreds for examples.  Now, once I have one, I do not really want another, so the price now drops to what the next guy will pay.  Once they have one, it drops again to what the next guy will pay. With locals, the first one or two examples will bring very good money, but by the time you have a dozen of them, the value will fall considerably. My out of town stuff I put on eBay, starting at 9.99, and I see what happens..... Exceptions would be milks that "cross over" into other areas, such as War Bond milks, or picture milks, or hospital milks, or college milks.  It is not uncommon for examples that fall into any of these categories to fetch a decent price on a regular basis, as there are more than the few local guys looking for examples. _____________________________ SAYVILLE BOTTLES WANTED !!!!!!

Status: offline Well said NYCFlasks, same could be said when trying to collect local to your area in bottles(meds. blobs, etc.) not to bad if your the only one but if you have alot of other people collecting same area, the same rules apply as you stated, just depends on how bad you need it, and the odds of if there will ever be another one that turns up to buy. That being said, Mike(SPD) and I were at an auction Sat. were they must of had a 1000 milks to auction off, Mike got some, I stayed away (to many back home) many were local to NEPA. There was buyers for all of them. Warren (in reply to NYCFlasks) Post #: 8

Status: offline Hey Jim, no Paterson stuff, but to cover everything that was there would have been an all day job, what they had in milks, they had just as much in bottles and fruit jars, alot of common to junk, but you have to look. I don`t know what Mike ended up with, all i know is he got ripped on a nice box lot. There was so many bottles that the auctioner ask people interested to make up box lots. This being said we all put box lots together that catered to our likings. One guy who knew nothing about bottles ( was buying all of the junk ) made up his lot, then all lots were sold high bidder. He was first high bidder and took his lot ( alot of money for what he put together) all the while eyeballing what Mike and my brother and i put together, next time around i started bidding, then newbie, then Mike, i back out, newbie ended up driving up bid and won, took Mikes lot, Mike walked away and thats when my brother gave the newbie an ear full, his reply was Mike could have kept going, guy was a jerk, hey we were all newbies at one time but this guy just had it all figured out, he said there could be a $100 bottle in there (like he would know which one ). After that newbie said he was done, i ended up winning the lot we put together, even though others bid but with respect. There was still alot to sell but nothing i had to have, plus it started to rain. Warren (in reply to epackage) Post #: 10
