    I have seen many of these Zippo and can not understand why they are so sought after?

      In fact, the explanation is quite simple: "Disney" Zippo is one of the few who fall under the laws of nicotine. Ie company Disney, is strongly associated with cartoons, children's activities, etc., around 1980 ended abruptly advertised on things, one way or another related to tobacco (as well as many other companies, by the way.) Hence the rarity of such specimens, and the high demand for them.

      The second point - that's what Disney is the iconic American brand, along with Coca-Cola, McDonald's, etc. Thus, the lighter its symbols come to the attention of two (or more) groups of collectors - collectors and collectors lighters Disney theme at all. Zippo so similar advertising izobrazheniyai will always rare and expensive.

      The third point - the mystical :) That's so historically happened that collectors provide for such Zippo lot of money. Perhaps this is some sort of curse :) Personally, I can not rationally explain this phenomenon. But there it is. This happens when a thing suddenly acquires an aura of worship and abruptly starts very highly thought of for no apparent reason ... and then out, and as much as two obvious reasons I have listed above :)

    IMHO:
    1) copies of Disney Zippo was small.
    2) Disney Zippy requested by people who grew up on these cartoons and could part with his childhood do not want.
