My friend Johnny did have one of those early dark green

Coca Cola "Big Chief" bottles just like the $999 one on ebay. In fact his entire pop bottle collection is Big Chief,
mostly newer larger ones.

Haven't sold anything on ebay in over 15 years but I listed it for him. One thing I missed somehow was the "make
offer" button, I did put a "buy it now" price on it, did that eliminate the "make offer" one?

If interested you can see it here.........

BIN or make offer. It's just a straight auction. Good luck!

That doesn't seem fair. Also got an email from ebay,.....

Because you viewed this item, here’s a special offer.
A few other interested buyers also received this offer – it won’t last long. Hurry and take advantage right away!
Offer: $484.95 Discount $515.00

The $999 guy must be getting nervous.

you would not have gotten the automated offer as a potential buyer.

An item is worth only what someone is willing to pay. As of right now, the bid is $13.50, but people wait till the last minute of an auction to snipe.

Maybe not what you were hoping for, but still a nice chunk of change.

Could be because it ended on a Saturday afternoon, if I sell anything else on ebay I'll make sure it ends
on a Mon -Thur night when most people are at home.
