Camel Zippo

[Brain71]

Didn't know where to post this. I have 2 Camel pool player Zippos and 1 Camel 8 ball Zippo. I would like to know the value of these as I'm trying to finance a cue. The 2 pool player Zippos are in mint condition. One comes with matching tin. The 8 ball Zippo has a blemish or two but can be wiped clean. The gold pool player Zippo is gold plated. I haven't done enough research to verify if its 22k plated or what. All 3 have never been opened or struck.

Brian, number one you can not get them anymore,and I have never seen any of these anywhere never.I would say the set is worth no less than $150 to $200 or more.Just my opinion,have a great thanksgiving and merry xmas if I don,t see you .Rich aka the skunk. If I smoked I'd get these asap.....

You don't have to be a smoker to collect these. Thanks for the info. I am the original owner of these by the way. I got them in the early '90s with the "Camel Cash". Have q happy holidays yourself. Come back to Grady's .

I usually start with eBay completed listings when looking for values. This helps to show what people actually payed or passed on. Based on this I would say $150 is a pretty big stretch.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=camel+zippo&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc - Then click on Completed Listings on the left.


Just my opinion and thought process.

There is a whole collector universe revolving around Zippos. I would post pictures on one of their forums. Look at eBay for an honest assessment of what real world sales are.

I see a lot of different values listed on eBay. The asking price for these varies from $39-$399 depending on the seller. Obviously I'm thinking $399 is a little high since the exact same is $40. Maybe there is some differences between the two listings, who knows. I'd be a buyer for one if you decide to sell...

PM sent. I do want to sell but I would like to as a package.

Not much of a collector of anything other than Bills as of late.

I tried collecting cues once but found out that I wasn't rich enuff, so I just collected nice ones that I could play with specially well. That and the War Dept started sending me cease and desist notes.

I like these myself and if I were to collect them, I imagine that the unopened and unstruck would be a bonus to any collector.

The unstruck fact raises the value significantly

I bought this one in San Francisco a few years back...opened but un-struck.
