I've had this for a many years and nothing has changed, I've been following it for as many and only been able to come up with 4 distinct bottles, two without tops. One had been sold more thn once.
Why have they never brought any decent money? There obviously wasn't a hoard found.
Do they just look too much like a fake? Were they? I can see that happening.
Maybe the string just looks to new or the burst bubble like the ones I've seen hurt so bad? Still, a pain med with a ground stopper seams a bit odd, odd enough to be interesting anyway.
I'd put this in the $50-75 range myself but I've never seen close to that out of any of them. Then again, I've never tried to sell mine so there are only 3 I know of to be offered.
My mind is just officially blown.[

PS: Here's an old link from 2010 with some more history on the man and his meds, including, I think his rather strange falling out the window death. If not, I'll find it.
