WOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, That looks like a really boss, super keen, farm out deal.

BRENT in 10-uh-C · 11-07-2011, 05:40 PM

Dave, you know how them Tennessee women is!!

Make her an offer of $10 bucks less and see what happens!!

Dave in Boise · 11-07-2011, 05:53 PM

man, if this old plastic can is worth that, I have a sleeve of styrofoam cups in my garage that must be darn near priceless! (lol)

Dave in Boise · 11-07-2011, 05:54 PM

Our local D&B farm supply store has these on the shelves, new, for about $15.00 or so.. (hehehe)

lol, now i have seen every thing, vintage plastic, he must have been watching the pickers show, or sniffing the fumes from that nearly perfect gas spout

Fordors · 11-07-2011, 06:50 PM

Yeah the price is nuts, but the comment about the spout is right on the mark. The new, improved safety spout from Blitz is a PITA.

Steve Wastler · 11-07-2011, 06:54 PM

I love it, Ford1, sniffing the fumes.... I should show my wife this, she had been watching the hoarders show again and made me dispose of about 15 similar to that, and see what she says... did you notice the mower deck and how spotless it is?

Dave Boyer · 11-07-2011, 07:34 PM

Must be full of Av-gas?

CarlG · 11-07-2011, 10:10 PM

If you miss getting that one, let me know -- I have one exactly like it in my garage that I could be persuaded to let go for the same price.

ps. check out her "other" items...

Bob C · 11-07-2011, 10:20 PM

That's a bargain when you consider she wants $49.95 just for a spout.

This is the old style spout that actually pours gas!!!!????
Who'd a heard of such a thing?!!!

Why, Just the other day I saw an add for Water Proof Rubber boots.
The stuff they come up with!
I have a full assort ment of funnels in the shop that actually allow you to pour liquids into small holes! Struth! But I aint selling them no way. I'll wait awhile til the market comes up.
Jeez

Tom Wesenberg · 11-08-2011, 05:16 AM

She can't actually be that clueless as to values!

I think she spends too much time at the dumps to have accumulated so many plastic gas cans. Our local trash site has a room full of metal and plastic gas cans for free. They have another room for paints and chemicals for free.

She has a refrigerator for Mr. Tube.

It wasnt that long ago we got lectricity down here, and then we even got sliced bread in a bag, instead of having to cut it yourself.

Now im hearing you guys have vintage plastic gas containers?
Im goner have to git me one of those....

Seth Swoboda · 11-08-2011, 11:15 AM

She did a nice job on the restoration. I can't believe she found a NOS spout

MCHinson · 11-08-2011, 11:52 AM

I don't know which scares me the most... the fact that this seller is listing such "vintage" plastic gas jugs or the fact that there are people out there that will actually buy them. Checking through the seller's feedback revealed this sale:

Cool Hand Lurker · 11-08-2011, 05:46 PM

Well it IS a two-holer so its gotta be worth somethin' more. Ya kin drag it 'er lift it dependin' on how tall yer are. That's gotta be worth somethin' more too.

ct1932ford · 11-08-2011, 06:29 PM

wtf???

Fred K-OR · 11-08-2011, 06:36 PM

Guess that last load of junk I took to the dump I should have put on EBay.

Dusty · 11-08-2011, 06:51 PM

Is that a 500 point can?
