$5,000 Coca Cola Bottle Currently on eBay

PS ~ PS ~ PS

I just asked the seller how much the other error bottle sold for. Let's see if they will disclose it. Hopefully they will reply right away like they did with my last inquiry.

Yep! They were Online and got right back to me. I think they think I'm hot-to-trot about buying it. I thanked them and said I might get back to them after Christmas. Anyway, here's what they said about the selling price of the one that sold last April ...

$5,000.00 ???

Check this out. I'm 99.99% confident its the error bottle that sold last April. If someone now or in the future has a WorthPoint (pay for) subscription it will show how much the bottle sold for and when ...

Hmm ... Something is a little fishy. Notice the bottle pictured on WorthPoint is the same bottle that's currently listed. Compare the two little bubbles shown on the current bottle and the WorthPoint bottle. ???

Here are the two bottles for comparison ...

I guess I'm just a born skeptic because I have serious doubts about the bottle currently listed on eBay. I'm tempted to ask the seller about the WorthPoint bottle but will give it some thought first because I don't want to stir up a hornet's nest at this time. What we need to do is find someone with a WorthPoint subscription and see what's what.

Please stand by. I just sent the seller the following question ...

One more question ...

Is the bottle pictured on your listing the actual bottle I will receive if I buy it?

If the buyer of the first bottle was new to eBay, and it only has 6 purchases total, I would be VERY skeptical.
But if they bought their own bottle, they would still owe eBay 10% of the purchase price ($ 500), and Paypal fees, so maybe it is legit.

If you look closely they are the same photo. Look at what the bottle is sitting on. And the shadow that is casts.
Its just an enlarged version of the same photo.
