    Green Mountain Renovator on eBay

    Geecheeboy (Bob Hinely) was the winner. He just left some pretty unflattering feedback. I was surprised he just didn't send it back.

    Fishy ?

    I know who the buyer was the first time. The same buyer bought some stuff from me in September and wanted to pay with a Money Order. It took 5 weeks of constant asking if he had sent payment, with a promise every time of it being in the mail tomorrow. I blocked the guy, got tired of his games. I...

    Tumbling bottle with crack

    The epoxy won't hold up to tumbling. One trick I learned was to completely fill the bottle with copper, and totally fill the outside with copper also. Sounds wrong with the extra weight, but it keeps the copper from sloshing & jarring the bottle. I tumbled a cathedral pickle this way with a hole...

    Archaeologist or looter?

    Well said, there is good & bad everywhere. My digging budding Tony & I just did a privy dig in a small Michigan town for their annual home tour. People buy tickets & get to go through houses, we pick a house & dig a privy while the tour is going on. Usually have about 300 people stop by & see...

    Has the inside of a bottle been tumbled?

    Andy is a great guy & well respected. He generally over describes his stuff. If he thought it had been tumbled, he would have said so. I would contact him with your concerns, he will gladly help you out and answer your questions. I looked at the pics, it looks good to me....bill

    Yellow Green Umbrella Ink on Ebay

    Looks like you missed the guess about the color. Check seller's feedback & you will see who bought the ink, they were pleased with the ink. I wish now I had bid higher, looks like it was a good one. Not everyone is a crook on ebay, some people just don't know what they are doing...Bill

    Yellow Green Umbrella Ink on Ebay

    I was the underbidder on this one, was hoping this post would scare everyone else off. It did go to a very well known national collector who wasn't too scared either. Will not be surprised to see it on his for sale page in a little bit for many times more than what he paid for it.I did not...

    Matt's Book!

    I think it is the bible for med collectors, the most complete & accurate guide out there. Even though no one will get all the meds, this one has the most.

    Late Chris Vincent pontil meds & one for Epackage too

    The top two bidders are good ole USA boys, one who buys a ton from PA, mostly pontil meds, and the other a NJ collector. I have heard rumor that the PA collector has a gas well, but as far as I know, that is just a rumor. The last really old bottle the Sheik bought was from me in mid July, an...

    Late Chris Vincent pontil meds & one for Epackage too

    looks like another New Jersey collector wants this one really bad, I never dreamed it would bring that much. I am very happy for Chris's wife though....Bill

    Fresh Dug Campaign Flask For Sale

    Not class warfare, just simply put, you have to have common sense at any level. I am sorry, but if they spend $5000 on one of these scams, they do have more money than brains. We all know of all the internet scams out there, I wouldn't even gamble a $100 on a thousand dollar bottle from some...

    altered color Marion Fruit Jar

    The high bidder is "vip.s " This is the same guy from the UK who is paying outrageous stupid prices all over ebay, $3000 for cobalt hutches, $7000 for straight side cokes. Rumor has it he is buying for a Sheik to open a museum. At least a good common collector didn't get taken here is a list...

    My new Hero

    Maybe I'm not such a good friend, I wanted to keep that jar badly :-)

    Flask from the past

    That half pint is fairly rare even here in Michigan, it would bring a pretty penny. I have only seen one & that was 25 years ago. Michigan collectors pay well for their rarer home state stuff.
