Help with value on this mountain dew lot....

[cherise]

here is a large lot of dew bottles that i can get...just wondering if the price is right for the lot of them.....

9 bottles with no names years 1965-68
11 bottles of Ed & Gene from 1965 (not sure if there is more than 1 version of the Ed & Gene)

that is the lot plus there is one of the "Filled by One That's Able, Says Mabel." bottle that he is selling separate.

i dont have my mountain dew price guide yet...what would be a fair value on the lot and the value of the Able-Mable bottle

All bottle are in very good condition and some better than that....

anyone have any ideas???

$100 + $25.

Why ya want 20 bottles that are just alike? Common ones at that.

Me...........I would just try for two, the 'Ed and Gene' and 'Filled by one...........' for $35-$40 for the pair...........now that's just me.

How much does the seller want.........

$10 x 9 = $90.00 for the commons
$30 x 11 = $330.00 'E&G's
$ 30 x 1 = $30.00 'Mable's able
_______
$ 450.00......................????????????

Ed & Gene is a really common Dew and usually can be bought for $10 or less. And that goes for the several versions of it. The Filled by One That's Able, Says Mabel is probably a $15-$20 bottle and was bottled in Greenville, NC. As for the 9 bottles with no names...wouldn't pay no more than $20-$25 for them all. That is unless they have a town name on the back, a moon Willie, or various other hard to find variations.

So there is a book value of about $157 there but I wouldn't give anything close to that.

And if you don't want the Able/Mabel I'd gladly pay up to $20 for it if its in good condition. I stay about 20 minutes from Greenville.
