Hey guys I want to sell my soda bottle collection....

[Gulf Hunter]

Have some Coca Cola Commemoratives and other soda bottles. Do ya'll have and interest in them or know of any reputable dealers that I could sell them to.

List them on ebay and be sure to figure in shipping cost and insurance,which buyer pays.

Was hoping to sell the whole collection to 1 dealer or collector.

Most bottle collectors specialise in certain bottles.With ebay you will reach more collectors and have a better chance of selling most bottles.Even with this you may not sell all bottles.As a collector I have purchased bottle collection even if there were bottles I didn't want.Usually if I thought these bottles didn't have a real potential,I would trash them.I have a real appreciation for old bottles,the ones with no embossement and no unusal color as much as I hate trashing anything old I realised that they had no commercial value,they would go in the trash.Much to the surprise of the trash collector.

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a whirl and see if I can move 'em.

Hello GulfHunter, I don't know what advertising apers you have there, but we have a apaer called the Melbourne Trading Post. There's a section to sell under for collectors, and I've seen bottles for sale. Thee's also a country edition of it. Maybe you have a similar paper you could advertise in, and say the collection is not to be separated. Another idea is to put them up for sale with antique dealers on a commision basis, or in antique shops, where they get 5 or 10% of the cost of the item sold. I'd get your bottles valued first, before selling anything.
