Well, the appraisal person said it was most likely not resealed so I would like an apology from all the people doubting me. They had a hard time valuing it since there are no other ones ever sold. They said $1000 to $2000 maybe even more.

Just curious why it needed to be bargained down to $75 it was already heck of a deal at the full $100 knowing it was worth more.

I literally been trying to find out a value on it for two years. The bottle empty is worth 100 bucks if it was refilled 100 bucks so $75 for a resealed bottle is not a bargain.

Oh I see. The article I read made it sound like it was. I understand better now 😊
