Is there and area of can collecting I am missing out on or is this a joke? Ebay # 160400236774

guess I should add bid through old gas if you need a $16 can of paint.

...really - is it that hard for someone who collects empty, greasy oil cans to imagine someone collecting old aerosol spray paint cans?...just another form of ephemera...stuff that no one saved, is now scarce because it wasn't saved...

...I got over $700 for a half-empty small display box of Funny Face drink mix once...this spray paint guy is crazy alright...crazy like a fox...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Actually I think it has to do with an ingredient in the paint that teenagers were using to get high or "huff". I believe the paint co's changed the formula and this is one of the old cans. Could be wrong but that may be it on this one.
