I Once Owned the ONLY KNOWN AGUA FISH BITTERS

They must have bought Ed and Kathy's. No, that one was AQUA, not Spanish water.

Jim - Thank you! I'll report him today as I was burned as a newbie and did not appreciate it. I am not familiar with 'Amberizing' a bottle so I looked up his current auctions. Those cokes just scream fake. I sent him a question on one of his purple bottles and just point-blank asked if the bottle had been nuked to achieve it's current color. I'll let you know his response.....Ron

He has obviously sold nuked coke bottles and nuked bottles that have been turned purple without listing this in his auctions. Has he ever sold a green Bromo before? If not maybe he needs to be watched in the future as he is probably quite excited about the current price and it may be too tempting for him not to list another.

There may be alot of sellers running to a sterilizer nearby them, so I expect a few to be popping up Dan...

You guys crack me up.. this is like the war on drugs! You can't stop people from doing this, the temptation is too great.. and even if you do stop some of them.. for a while, at least.. others will slip through, and the prices will reflect their "rarity" so I say let's all nuke our crap bottles and flood the market! That'll take the wind out of their sales! [&:]

Stopping one douche, even for just a little while, makes it all worth it to me. I've received three emails from the buyers I contacted thanking me for letting them know, two of them have contacted the seller and filed a case with Ebay, so I think some good can come of it.[;)]

Just out of curiosity, did you get any other types of responses, like "I knew it was nuked" or "I just like the colors, I don't care" or "MYOFB" ?
