I see- well I was referring to this bottle here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300312233890
that I really like- not too sure about the value of it but how bad is that damage considered?

thats pretty bad, a nick in one thing, but thats a good portion of the lip missing... it all comes down to what it is worth to you though... It could be repaired if you wanted, but probably not worth the cost...

Lip chips always affect the value quite a lot. The only type of chips that are fairly forgivable are pontil chips.
Thanks, Miles. One of the reasons I like the flared lip bottles is that they are so delicate that it really is amazing that they have survived without damage, and some of them were even found undamaged in the ground!

Personally my opinion on flared lip chips is that they greatly affect the value of pontiled medicines. Probably more so then a similar sized chip on a later bottle with a tooled lip finish. I see bottles with flared lip chips usually sell for 10-25 percent of what a perfect one sells for.
