Hey everyone:
My best find ever is a collection of vintage Bentley Butane lighters. I scored several hundered un-used vintage lighters, vintage butane gas tanks, Bentley lighter case shells and much more. The lighters go for between $5 to $10 each on eBay but I think I can get $10 each if I take my time. The Bentley butane gas tanks sell for $5 each on ebay and I have hundreds of them. I don't know what the lighter shells sell for, I'll have to put them up and see what happens. I scored all this for $100!
The funny thing is; the seller told me before I got to the sale that someone offered $20 for the lighter collection and was unwilling to pay $100. I'm so happy that the picker before me was so cheap! What goes around, comes around as I made a similar mistake by being stingy and passing up on a $2000 Chronograph watch for $15 that my competition got instead. Lesson learned.
Here is a video of my best find with more details if you're interested:
