RE: HELP! A very sticky situation for a Ohio Drug! - 11/22/2008 8:55:30 PM    donalddarneille   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/23/2008 From: Portland Status: offline Thanks all for the help! After all the effort to clean the bottle it came out beautiful for a dug bottle. I posted the bottle on eBay, and despite all the effort cleaning and some nice pics I couldn't even get a $0.99 bid on it! Here is a copy of the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEUSX:IT&item=250326360715 Any suggestions from experienced sellers to help me move this bottle would be appreciated, maybe this would be a good item to donate to the auction for this sight. (?) Any help making a successful listing would be greatly appreciated. _____________________________ Just another day in Pffffft..... I stepped in what!!?? (in reply to wedigforyou) Post #: 21

At least here I can entertain ideas about how this bottle made it that far so many years ago. _____________________________ Just another day in Pffffft..... I stepped in what!!??

I would relist your druggist at a higher minimum bid, 99 cents is just too low -- gives the impression to the potential buyer that the bottle isn't worth much.

Already listed a few poisons and I noticed a higher bid gets more views and watchers right off the bat! Thanks........Don _____________________________ Just another day in Pffffft.....
