If that milk had 1535 one dollar bills in it , maybe ....... There is gonna be a bidding war breaking out ...............

I'm pretty sure that's one of our members here selling that milk...

Yep one of our members on the forum. Psychologically better to have a low opening bid with a reserve than a way high opening bid. In my opinion.

Not judging just looking at new listings and BAM! It just stood out from the rest...If you can get it than go for it!I hadn't seen a milk go for that high yet.

Well, knowing that pyro milks are hot now and the embossed ones are not, I'd be surprised to see this one selling for a couple hundred in a heated bidding war. It looks like a $50-200 milk if it's as rare and desirable as he claims it is.

I didn't think you were, just pointing out that the seller is a member...[]

Good luck to Ryan on his auction. I'm not right in his area, but not too far away in central PA. The milk bottle market here used to be NUTZ. Prices have not only returned to reality, they have fallen through the floor. I got out of milks a while ago, and I'm glad I did it when I did. My digging buddy still loves milks, so when I dig a good one that he needs, it's his.

High-dollar buyers for rare milks around here are becoming impossible to find. I used to be one of them, but won't buy any milks now unless they happen to be in with a lot that contains something I do want. The former "$1000 milks" here can now go less than $200, and many of the former "$100s" are now hard to even find anyone who wants them. Two good things about it- The guys who still collect milks can build their collections without going broke, plus the "dig to sell" boneheads have less incentive to trash properties and screw up permissions. ~Jim

The buyers of these might tell you different...[]

I would trust Ryan's judgement on this one as far as rarity. Didn't know milks commanded such a price unless it was colored or faced . . . we used to shoot them with a 22 back in the 70's. Not knocking milk collectors, just never interested personally and they consume alot of space. Wish I had kept them NOW!

But if it IS an item you don't collect, NOW is the time to sell. A previously unknown example of an amber 1880's beer turned up in Pittsburgh a few years back turning all kinds of heads. 3 month's later a fellow digger and I dug 6 of them in one hole. It may not be a "one of" forever.
