Re: To buy or not to buy?
Leon is right shouldn't be more than $10 and I personally wouldn't pay more than $5 for it as I have had several through the years and feel it is fairly common.
Most wanted can finally found!

I actually got to drink one of those back in the 70's. Better to buy it empty - Ugh!!!

Re: To buy or not to buy?
Im guessing Traci has that for sale - she has had that can for awhile - she charges a lot for stuff because her store is specfically focused on retro-70s stuff/food/packaging - (she does really well - she just got 17 dollars for an old Hamburger Helper box - and 60 bucks for some old drink-mix-packs) - a lot of the food collectors dont know that soda cans are way easier to find than other forms of packaging - (as they have been collected for quite awhile - albeit - not as long as beer cans) - so sometimes you see things like Disgo cans go for a lot - I would save any soda cans that *scream* 60s or 70s - even if common - as there is a *lot* of crossover collectiblity there - especially the really bright/gaudy/good graphics type stuff (and dont even get me started on old Gatorade stuff - as thats getting real popular now too) - it seems like every week on Flickr someone new pops up with a retro packaging collection - and its now my main focus - though I still like digging cans - but yeah - you will find one of those cheaper than that - I would imagine
try seaching on Flickr for soda cans and you will see a lot of freaky ones.....
