Check out the red head can he sold. It went for 6 times what I have paid for the 14 I have.

he has a good marketing scheme... list a bunch of items monthly at the same time. it causes people to view all of your items and results in more bidding. same as going to a show, you may see something that you'd be willing to bid on that you wouldn't have otherwise found by just doing the normal ebay searches.

it worked on me... i was watching his cities service kite sign and a couple other things, but I checked out his other items and ended up winning one, and I probably paid too much. but too much today can easily be a great deal a year from now, and everyone knows the golden rule... pay what you are comfortable with!

Agree there. But why 6x average pricing?

Bobby, The first tiger can wasn't the same can it was a darker green and was in rougher condition then this one. It would have went for more if it wouldn't have been for a phone call from a salesman. This can I was the back up bidder on it. I bid the most I am willing to pay and I have looked at a couple of these cans and haven't found one as clean as this one. So I am part of the deal with this can!

Chris did very well with this can, I bought it at Columbia for $160 off a can dealer in Jan 2013.

I sold it to Chris for a fair price!
