I picked up this nice Olive color Lightning lid, what would you call it Dark olive or regular olive. How much do you think this is worth. It is for sale.

Hey Jay, VERY nice Lightning lid. I agree that it is darker Olive, not sure how dark Lightnings get. As far as value, I believe it will depend on how bad someone needs / wants it. I know if I had a jar that color I would probably pay $75 - $100 for it. A darkish Olive lightning would be worth $500 +, and not nearly as attractive, without the correct color lid.

I guess the only way to know for sure is auction it. I personally would start it out at $50. The starting point would depend on what you have in it and would be satisfied with.

Thanks Jim, I would be happy with 50.00, which would be great for someone to complete a jar of this color, I guess I could hold it until I find a jar like this with no lid? Jay
