All Zippo, usually over the years are just more expensive. Especially if she stayed new.

I've been very interested in the question, how much will cost the standard models: Brushed, Polish, Street chrome, Solid Brass, Matte, etc. 30-50 years if they are not open and save as new ...

Thank you in advance!

Well, first - lighters as a way to invest money - this is a good, valid way. I have friends - supruzheskayach couple from England and one day they decided as follows: "The need to accumulate a pension. The money can go down in value, they can select the state (and sounded exactly) may be a crisis, inflation and Chueva cloud more. A lighter and cheaper is not - to save them much more interesting. "

But. No one knows what will happen in 50 years and how many handfuls of rice or yuan could be bartered for Zippo in the Great Republic of China - also no one knows.

With the price is not that simple. As soon receive a pair of articles in American and British magazines about five years ago - and suddenly became collectors as lice in the trenches, it has become fashionable and cool. And the prices are flooded up sharply and significantly.

Then someone threw about that aquarium is worth a thousand dollars - and a price tag on it with a couple of hundred skyrocketed.

Now every kishkoblyuy, dug in the attic battered incomplete lighter - begins to think that he's really just becomes rich as Abramovich and raunchy consumer goods for auction only as "Vintage! Unique! Rare! "Zaluplyaya price of the aircraft. Just look at the hammer-ru - and Ad and Izrail there from just such dreamers ignorant.


How long will this trend will continue - no one knows. Maybe that will happen in 50 years, and the excitement will be fashionable to collect, say, spectacle frames. Or Spot metering. Or something like that then.

Although I believe that the currency of the future - it's ammunition. :)

Well I hope that the future is in the style of Berkema Al-atom does not threaten us and the way the currency itself does not become "five or seven" ;) But in value, such as the true experts in no hurry to buy kilos of "war" Zipp, but gold sold for record prices. Invest in precious metals, gentlemen ;)
