Empty boxes of Zippo Town and Country, $ 523.00 and $ 600.00

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Another hardcore and horror - empty boxes from the models Zippo Town and Country in 1949. These rates are related to the fact that having the presence of the very lighter is in perfect condition, without the box, the box via its value can be increased much more than $ 600. But the fact that the empty box sold for so much, of course, goes beyond common sense :)
Sale Price: $ 523.00 and $ 600.00

Zippo Box 1985 and 1935, $ 590.00

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Lot of discharge of curious: the seller put one found somewhere in the house Zippo 1985, and bargain for it - let korobchku, which, he thought, belongs to this lighter ... A box was the original box 1935 issue (the seller at first did not know) . As a result, 13 bidders forgetting itself lighter and fought for rare box, making 21 bet, and here it is the result. I can imagine how the eyes on the forehead climbed the seller after the auction :)
Sale Price: $ 590.00

An empty box of Zippo 1940, $ 88.00

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Entertaining lot - empty box from under the Zippo since the Second World War, these boxes Zippo sold from 1942 to 1945. This empty boxes, Zippo not included! Here is the price of an ordinary though but rarely cardboard box, a whole expensive lighters :)
Why is someone purchases? It's pretty simple: let's say someone has a brand new lighter black crackle without a box, worth, say, $ 300. Then her owner bought separately for $ 88 a box and put it in the cigarette lighter. Now, a full set of lighter + box 1940 is not $ 388, and a bit more; sometimes much more :) So that old empty boxes from the Zippo often sold, and demand is stable.
Sale Price: $ 88.00

Incomprehensible old box with the inscription Zippo, $ 318.13

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Here's a good example of how useful to know the story and have the information. The seller put the box in the auction description: "I know nothing about this box, but it seems she Zippo from the 1930s." One, two and the price soared to a 3-digit numbers! My friends in the online club of collectors Zippo Enthusiast Network, meanwhile, is very interested in the origin of obscure subject, asked the company Zippo Archivist Linda Mebon and received the answer: the company has never used this type of box and its origin is unclear. However, it was too late: the unknown buyer paid $ 318.13 for a strange piece of shit :)
