$40,000 Barrel for a $1 !!!

[RCO]

it is a very nice bottle but what kind of bottle collector has $ 40,000 for 1 bottle . i can barely stomach $ 20 for a bottle on ebay yet alone consider making that kind of a purchase .

as for thrift stores never seen many bottles for sale at ours , i did find a nice local ACL pop bottle a few months back at a junk store , i paid $ 1 and its worth around $ 20 as its rare bottle . some of those lower end stores know very little about bottles which is why bargains can be found

It happens on occasion. I picked up a light green pitken flask at a yard sale for 50 cents . The older fella asked me if Iwas gonna use it to store whiskey in it...I said no and walked away happier than a clam LOL. It was pontiled how rare it was I don't know. I gave it to my girlfriend (at the time)and God knows where it is now.

The kind who appreciates it's rarity and who is banking on the fact very few will be found in the future so he can always get his investment back, and maybe then some...[]

It does happen. I picked this bottle up 13 years ago for $5 at a thrift store in Lancaster, PA. Here is a link to a post I made some years ago about it.

Collectors like Ferdinand Meyer of Peachridge Glass fame, by the way met him at Downieville and you couldnt ask for a more down to earth nice guy, even if he is worth millions.....

This is absolutely incredible!!!! Plenty of high end bottle collectors out there for sure that will go for this. Especially those that are savvy and smart investors. It really doesn't take much of an initial annual investment to build up a rather nice portfolio over time.
