Well said Scott!! You tell them bastards, your not to be mess with! Keep up your bottle hunting videos!! Thanks 😎👍

The more I watch and listen to you the more I respect and like you. Good luck on your next adventure

Somethings worth what someone will pay. That's all there is to it. Congratulations on digging that gem

I saw your Facebook post, I’m totally on your side on this!

It's your choice on what you want to sell something for. Not anyone else. But now days people love to make everyone feel bad on social media platforms. I love to watch your videos. Thanks

Scott, stay strong, you always speak from your heart and share your bottle knowledge with us all. I am certainly not in your league, I get excited finding just a cool old bottle out digging with my sister. Life is too short, do what you want, what you know and keep having fun.👍👏😀

Scott you don’t need to justify yourself.

I learned a lot from you I like being a bottle digger keep it up

Scott there are many ways to steel things without getting shot. One way is to make a low-ball offer and hope the owner is to desperate or ignorant to resist. I've dug many years in Savannah and have quite a nice collection myself. I have never sold a good bottle that I did not miss and wish I had back again. When you sell something the item is then lost to you. Then you spend the money and end up being poorer than you were with neither money nor bottle. Keep the good and sell the bad and the extras you won't miss.

I have a lot of respect for you. Fellow bottle hunter from Australia. I find bottles in the water with my probes. ( a Wharf Somewhere)

I'd say jealous is right! 😁👍

If it’s the only known bottle, you can sell it for as much as you want. I still think it’s 10,000 or more

10 grand or 20 grand in trade is what I would ask. Make sure you keep photos floating around so everyone can see it. Maybe have the local news do a story on it. Good luck!! Love your videos

We all know this would go for a crazy amount at auction......and we all know you will never sell it anyway. Keep getting the finds of a lifetime.

Sir, you are one of the hardest “Searchers” I’ve ever come across. You deserve whatever you want to ask for that flask. You put in the actual work of researching, searching for, working hard for and finding bottles. You go halfway across this country looking for bottles. You also put your ass at risk searching in some shady ass areas. Many times you don’t come up with much more than some bleeding fingers. (Because you seldom wear gloves, lol) Ask for what you want for it and don’t settle for less. If the money isn’t right then hold it. Someone will come along. Keep the content coming and keep digging My Brother!!

I love flasks.Differrent folks for different strokes.Your ut bottle sale last week was really cool.Your prices are very reasonable.There has to be more bottles still in the ground that have been dug.Great job!!!

Pricing and selling is complicated, usually the ppl ragging on a posted price are those who want to acquire it for much less. You know your bottles, stand your ground. You’ve done your research.

It is an amazing bottle, and your prices are always fair. 👌

Tell it like it is, Scott. Anyone who knows you wouldn't question your integrity. I congratulate you on that amazing find. Stand your ground on your price.❤

2008 red book no 10 list cobalt blue for 18 to 20k. Spurgin just sold one for 36k the good stuff always goes up. When they built the old stadium in Cincinatti so much cobalt sodas came out the price hit the bricks but has recovered. I do have a only known perfume bottle in the world, highly unlikely anyone will ever see it, the price only goes up. Hagenball is the ultimate auction on the east coast as you know. If you don't get what you want don't sell it, it is money in the bank plus interest.

The bottle is worth what someone will pay for it I live in Virginia City Nevada sold a Thomas Taylor Virginia Nevada Whiskey Bottle for $20,000 you can look them up they're worth that much all depends what people will pay

Congratulations on digging that extremely RARE flask Scott! Don’t let anyone bring you down. Nay-sayers will always criticize & demean. Your flask is awesome. Your flask is rare. After my 25 years of digging in counnnntlesss holes/privies in NC, I darn sure don’t have one in my collection. And If I had the extra cash, I’d darn sure buy it & put it in my collection. It’s an awesome & rare bottle. Period.

Scott, the bottle is worth what you can sell it for. Good luck. 👍

Love watching your channel I learn a lot about Eastern nc bottles from watching. Been subscribed about 2 years now. I would love to message you about some of my finds. I do consider you the most knowledgeable collector in my area.

get that money Scott shut down all them haters don't even let them phase you you've been in this business long enough they shouldn't even question you

You have said it as it should be. Just do the research and auction an amount if ever you do at a bagain price. Thanks for all the good digs.

Just keep it if I was living over there in USA I’d buy your flask for 10 thousand dollars 🤷 if it’s so rear I think people are just jealous because they don’t have one in there collection. Good luck 🤞 I would not want to sell it but it’s up to you 👍

I saw bottles similar to yours with that same anchor that looked newer than yours listed for 12,000.

I’d love to visit your store the next time I drive through NC

Hey Scott I enjoy you're videos. Just ignore them people their just trying to pick you for the flask.thats all it is . That's a rare one. Hold on to it until the right time.

Sell it for as much as possible , someone rich will want to have it in the collection.

No need to explain yourself sir! Your bottle knowledge far exceeds most.

That bottle is worth the 10k, it is one of a kind which makes it both valuable and hard to sell. There are none like it to compare to so it might just be one that has to stay in your collection until the right buyer sees it. I have allot of interesting one of a kind things and they are hard to sell because I value my time and effort in finding them and will not accept low ball offers.

Scott there jealous keep the bottle for all us dirt diggers!

I would list it for $20,000 OBO 🔫 🔫 🔫

Their jealous

Believe in yourself and don’t let the voices get to you. The market will prove to you what it’s worth. I hope you get a very large reward. 😎

They are jealous and they probably don’t have the Money either

if you've been digging bottles for a long time you may have come across a few rare ones they may be local or even a well known one's which is a different version of any others you have found. they will set the own value. sell it to the highest bidder.

You found not only a rare flask, but an important one...not many can say that! It's really hard to put an accurate value on something that rare, however condition is also very important. I think the base chip hurts it, and overall scuzziness. With that said, putting it out there at a high price might not have been the best way to sell it. Perhaps offering it purely on a "make offer" basis would have been a better way to go. Like it or not, there is a psychology to selling, and the perception of "I had better grab this before someone else does" is what you need. Unfortunately you may have to sit on it, keep it totally on the down low for awhile, then re-introduce it to serious NC collectors. If someone is truly passionate about NC glass, I can't believe they wouldn't be doing whatever it takes to add that to their collection. Good luck.

Good for you!! Stand your ground!!

Don't sell it! Where will you get another and once it's gone, it's gone. At least don't sell it yet. But put it in a safe place.

Have you had any success researching local business directories of the period?

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me etc
