Just at a guess and a guess is all it is.
I would say yes it will probably spread eventually,he is building a museum unless it is going to be only a coke vs pepsi one, i would think it would spread and
looking at what the guy bought i think i did see a couple of others get bought also.maybe just personal likes? ( i know i would like it if it did also lol)

will it drive prices up,probably for awhile,then once people slow down or quit buying at to high prices it they will go back down,till it happens all over again :)

There are some rare bottles being sold that may never be available again.


He bought this one from me, honestly it was the greatest bottle I've ever had. [:(] I know I've posted this many times before, but I'm going to miss this bottle so bad. It's nearly mint condition, torpedo-shaped, Honey Amber, and originally capped. The outside glass was smooth as silk.There was only a tiny ding on the front and one even smaller on the back. From Columbus OH. I remember going there all the time when I was a kid, so this bottle was really important to me [:(] You'll NEVER find another like it again. All the pictures I took do it no justice. But for just under $1,000, I guess it's okay...[&o]

This one was the clearest I could get. You can actually see fingerprints and dust particles on the glass.

Jay...he's actually bought multiple examples of the same bottles. He's bought so many they probably can't keep up with what they have.

I haven't really studied what they have bought, that's why I asked that question. I also suspect they would have a hard time keeping up with what they have bought. Also, there may be more than one picker doing the buying, with the different ebay user names. I have a suspicion, with no basis in fact, just a thought, the buyers might be working on commission based on how much money they spend. That would explain some of the enormous prices being paid for some fairly common bottles. They might even be running up the bids themselves.

I gotta call BS on that one.
It sold Pat, feedback was left as well. He would have to be pretty stupid to 'fake' this and have to pay the Ebay fees...
