Welcome.

Topic probably will be for you a little trite, but for me it is important.

Overall I liked this modelka! Incredibly easy! Almost to a shriek =), but there was a question on the cover. Bit flipping through thematic resources, but an appropriate response to their questions, and did not find.

And so, in order:

1. Very interested in scratch resistance. On the specifics of my job, besides careful handling can be expected, according to this I would like to find out so to say "what can and can not" ...

2. Yesterday on EBAY read that the average price of an instance, $ 20. Today I received a reply from the store shop-zippo, the price is 1686 rubles, which is equivalent to $ 56. It turns out that the store 100% cheat or something? Could be found from the owners, to take what this beauty?

3. Would love to hear general impressions on the case. In live, it is just as good as in the pictures, or there are pitfalls to be aware of?

Hello, hello ... :) Have not had such an interesting question ... would like to ask: "How did you find us, my friend, came down to our earth? For how long? .. ":) Do not get me wrong ... :)))) but amused by your question number 2 ... What is it you are familiar with Ebay started with lighters? Will tell you more as the Mercedes there are much cheaper than here. The same applies to absolutely everything you see there ... :))))) and "cheat" our stores ebeevskih relative prices, will, and 200 and 300, and 500 percent ... :) And now back to the rest of the points, if let ... So, scratch resistance ... sustainable, if quiet is on the shelf, window, etc. and continues to please the eye. (This applies to any shiny, glossy, colored, etc. coverings) Or, requires very careful with it! (Longer if you want to enjoy it.) From this flows smoothly just answer to the second question - what do you want for $ 20? .. :))))) Just lighter ... Need to get a light. Operates almost flawlessly, serves faithfully. And for the next step - any Zippo Lighter only as good as you like it. Thousands and millions of variations, and each finds a "favorites" modelki ...

Conclusion: like - take! In any case, everything is relative, and their experiences.

PS I have two at home, for a long time. Look - as soon as that from the factory! It is true that once a week they have to blow the dust off ... :) But look very nice ... :))) And I use a simpler version of the coating ... :)))

Generally, Welcome! :)))

I have black ice, strong enough cover, even though I do not smoke, but enjoys his often - torsion sway, all sorts of tricks, etc. deep scratches started to appear after falling to the floor, and there are only small, which does not spoil the look.

1. Scratch unstable. Microscopic scratches I put a nail straight when took out of the box. From pocket wear pretty pat.

2. Zippo prices in Russia in general hypertrophied due to many factors, so yes, I think that they are 2-3 times higher than the average retail price in the U.S. or on Ebay. Said store "shop-Zippo" and not by itself has low margins. I took a year ago on Ebay 1941 Black Ice Chrome Replica 24096 for $ 17.72 plus $ 5 shipping seems.

3. Life is good. Overflows, the silver, the dark. Photo 1.

True, once released predecessor Midnight Chrome, already out of production, it is even cooler. Photo 2. Of course someone like that.

Well, the second question, I really got excited a little bit =) Here's a couple of minutes ago the same on the real value of this model, but still cheat even a little scary shop =)

About the quality and functionality of the original lighters know not by hearsay. I had a 1941 and a replica of the classic Black mate. I only remark at a flea market caught a mat on the streets found. But we have to buy a brand new original zazhigalochku, is not so simple. Market is flooded with fakes. From that and pulled me on the internet, searching for answers.

Probably agree with you. Just left of the dealer here in Chisinau, the cost of the model 150 ZL $ 30. I think it is worth the money. And is not that expensive. I will try to defend its purchase additional cover.

Thanks for added confidence in the choice =)

Do not forget to protect it, and the influence of metal buttons on the cover (the inner part). As skin "gives way" (two weeks) will be scratching for fastening cover. The easiest way - gluing small medical patch (simple, cheap, is not visible. And stay!)

Recently bought Black Ice as a gift and, of course check it out. Works like any Zippy good. Now for the price. Buy in Kiev in the online store at a cost of $ 25 (192grn.). Coverage in my opinion as a High polish chrome or perhaps Spektrum, only original color. She is black, then gray, then just brilliant, looking at what angle smotret.Kachestvo coverage is good, but what about scratches on it, in my opinion they will be even less noticeable because it shimmers and changes color. In short, the class model, even it was a pity to give.

Zippo itself already Pont)) so that the logo or not it does not matter)) here depends on the owner, if you will poke her nose into everything, and at first it is difficult to resist the temptation, they will say bluff, and you will get a light and easy to questions of the curious: "Che gasoline, and get a light from gasoline is not harmful?" calmly replied: "Smoking is bad at all actually, if Bu ne vkurse", no Pontus, in this regard, the logo of your choice, for whatever personal criteria of a good thing, always nice to "give pozyrit" sincerely interested person your device and answer questions.

I have already said that he took the Black Ice as a gift, it was without the logo. Who bought the logo. The fact that it did not believe bluff, treat it as an ordinary user. Zippo has long been using for its intended purpose-flicking, and not show-off, so the lighter with a logo for me, the acquisition of things, which is very much.
