Since yours is ten times nicer, I figure about $750 (!)

Not to burst anyone's bubble but..... Check out ebay's completed auctions for 5 gal cans and you will see less than a handful sold for more than $50. Quite a few were priced at more than $50 BIN, but NONE sold.
I saw 2 that came close to the $75 mark if I remember correctly and that was based on a total of 10 pages of completed auctions. The one I do remember seeing selling for around the $75 mark was an En-Ar-Co state boy with very good graphics.
IMO, yours might sell for about $25-$30. The graphics are okay, but the subject matter is plain. Again, that is my opinion, based on the completed auctions on ebay.

just because someone listed something for x amount, doesn't mean it's worth that....on yours I would say 50 bucks would be very top dollar....JMO.

On ebay next to the "search" key is "advanced search" just click on it. Put in the code words(description) and below that a few lines is "Search including" click the box next to "completed listings" and then click the search box. Shows competed listings for the last 2 weeks.
Just now I put in 5 gal can and 146 completed listings came up, plus other related listings one can check for similar items or words.
