Sold

Hey Folks

The good news is, I got to keep all of my Pearl Jam "stuff" in my pending divorce; the bad news is, I am now at the point where I have to begrudgingly part with some of it to pay lawyer bills.

I never got to assemble a complete set; but I came close...  I have discussed with a few credible and distinguished 10c board members on a price, and arrived upon $2,100.00USD for my entire EV Zippo collection (you can see it below in the pics - all 8 zippos).  These are all 100% mint, obviously never used, and would of course be packed and shipped perfectly.  Don't be surprised if the box contains a few of my tears...

I suspect I will receive multiple requests to sell individuals lighters.  Sorry.  Unfortunately, I will not entertain such, I just want the ordeal to be over with in one fell swoop.  Even if I could garner more overall dollars by selling individually, it is not how I am going to do this (perhaps, if you only need 1, or 3 of these, then you could buy this collection, and sell off what you do not require).  

There is only one issue that may cause questions...  My AUS UKE zippo does not have the case (the only one without).  I traded an equal value poster for this zippo, on here, with another well known person within these boards.  That person is VedderMTL, and he has agreed to post below in this discussion, and guarantee that this zippo is 100% legit.  He will also answer any questions you may have.  I believe the old "buy with confidence from this person" post is no longer in service, and perhaps also no longer searchable; but just as an FYI, I was on that list!

I will discuss shipping, payment, and all other details with the buyer.  I can see me bringing the package down to the post office, and getting a quote to ship with tracking and insurance for the full value.  I will then advise the buyer of this, and that amount will be added to the $2,100 purchase price.  Then, once the full amount is received via PayPal, I will ship.  This all can be discussed and worked out, but note - I expect the shipping will be a pretty penny, and there will be customs to pay if sold to someone outside of Canada.

If there are any question, I will be happy to answer.  I am going to base who I sell to, on the first message I receive in my inbox (if this isn't proper etiquette, let me know).

    Fantastic seller. Do not hesitate.

    Martin - I’m flying down to FL in a couple of weeks so if it helps seal the deal with a US buyer I can bring the package with and ship it from there priority express to bypass customs.

    This is a great way for someone looking to get into the EV zippo madness and with one of the holy grails/white whales. The aussie one alone is a good 1k. The first ohana is super rare as well.

    Congratulations to the seller and buyer!  Shorty, hang in there, things will get better.
