Here's what you gotta due. go to ebay & then click on the SOLD items. Only sold items will come up. Not high priced ones that run on ebay for years but never sell. I provided a link below. This should really help you get a idea on prices. I'm actually surprised to see many get more then $5.00 I might have to start keeping the ones I've been throwing back. LEON.

Maybe put them on ebay in one big group for one price. Looks like other people are having luck doing that. Good Luck. LEON.

Everyday is a learning experience. I am often disappointed when ever i search a bottle i have never seen. Every now and then i get a good one. That is just my luck. I am not really in it for the money so i don't care either way. You want to sell and i understand that. You have to dig them, they pay for your time and the bottle. You obviously have the gift of gab. Just keep smiling. You'll do just fine. ROBBYBOBBY64

Citrate of Magnesia is also a common brand of laxative, I found one of this seldom seen Packie style at a dump close by me that I've been digging as of late, the bottle is made by O/I and dated 1947, unfortunately it had a smaller hole in the back left side of the bottle but still diplays well, I've found the same bottle (only one) on line but haven't bought it yet, it would be my luck if I bought it I'd find another at the same dump, hoping I do lol, as I collect Packie bottles and would like a nice one of these.

Interesting to note in this article about the NDNR bottles, this section I'm posting an image of is in the section that explains the evolution of the Packie style, I have yet to see an image of a Royal Ruby in this style bottle, and the Citrate bottle I found made by O/I is dated dated 1947 and not from the early 60's, though I think there were the same style bottle made with different embossing than mine that could be from that time period. I'm guessing they are referring to a different Royal Ruby style NDNR bottle all together, as at the beginning of the Packie section it clearly shows a date range of 1939 to 1949 for the Packie.

Not to start a fuss, but I leave the citrates and moms including corkers laying on to the surface for others to find and develop interest in the hobby. Seems they come up every time I dig . Pretty common here. Ya can only keep and give away so many. Sam

Everything i don't want i leave for others also. It is not worth bringing home one i have a hundred of. It is good to leave for others so as to fuel our hobby i totally agree. ROBBYBOBBY64

You also need to see what they have sold for in the past, not just what the are selling at currently.
I'm with Leon...I throw them back in the hole if they are screwtop and if they are corkers I put them in the dollar box at the shows. I used to bring the screwtop ones to the shows as well but no one was buying, even at $1 each. Just ended up not being worth the time to wash them just to tote them around and have them not sell. They are for sure pretty in a window. Unfortunately digging on city lots you can't just leave them out for someone else to take as the kids will come around and there will be smashed glass all over the place.
