How much is too much?

ROBBYBOBBY64 · May 12, 2020

We all love bottles, obviously or we would not be here. I know we all have limitations due to various circumstances. What is the most you ever paid for a bottle? Also what is the most you were ever paid for one you found? No i don't work for the IRS! Okay now this no time to let common sense and fear slow you down! What do you got? ROBBYBOBBY64

Paid - 400

Been paid - about the same

I trade more than deal in cash. The most expensive item I have is a stoneware jug.

$2 dollars is the most I’ve paid LOL I don’t like buying them I like finding them. The most I’ve gotten for one was $20 for and old crow whiskey bottle from the 40’s with the label

Kind of a curse if you think about it. The more we find the less valuable they become. Like shooting ourselves in the foot. If we limit the supply like De Beers does with diamonds maybe we could all quit or jobs and do this full time.

I think like $30 for one, but that was a special occasion and a very rare bottle. I was on vacation in Ocracoke and found a beautiful sand worn amber TRIACOL Alpers bottle for about that price. I think it came from NY, yet somehow it was found in a sand privy in SC. I looked it up, and only found one other. I intend to make a post about it soon. The rest have been under $15.

I think I've paid $30 for a bottle a few times, usually won't pay that much but will for really interesting local stuff on occasion.

I buy bottles that I’ll never find but want to have. If I never bought anything - I wouldn’t have much worth keeping.

I’ve been buying cathedral peppersauce bottles lately - and I’ve never found one

I love Ocracoke island. I have been to North Carolinas Outerbanks a dozen time. Lots of pirate history associated with the island. ROBBYBOBBY64

I paid 20$ once. The guy had it at 35 but I haggled him down a bit.
