I think you have to look at how most dealers get the bottles they are selling. Most Dealers are not diggers and all the items on their table were bought. Take your C. Shaal for example. To me $23 seems like a good deal. But most dealers if they had bought that bottle would then likely have it tumbled which would probably cost another $20 so now they have $43 into that bottle. Then they want to make a decent profit of probably around $20 so now you have to get $63 for the bottle to make it worth selling . So they would likely sit the bottle on their table with a $70- $75 price tag on it. So buyers can talk them down a little.
Now the big problem with this is that you now have a fairly common Philly soda thats overpriced in my opinion. So the bottle is likely to sit on your table for many shows. One of the things I hate most at shows are dealers that never seem to have any fresh inventory. They have the same overpriced bottles year after year.
My favorite tables to check out at any show are those of very active privy diggers as they always have new and interesting stuff and the prices are usually quite reasonable. And rarely has anything been tumbled or messed with.
