As you said nothing earth shattering, but.....many, many very re-sellable cans in there. Some clean flats like the 7oz Ruppert Knick, the Hamms, the Rocky Mountain cone. Most of those cans will move eventually. Guess the question(s) are, at what price are they all obtainable, and do you have the interest and inclination to take them to shows to eventually sell them off.

I agree. Depending on the price, this could be a good opportunity for trade stock or resale.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Not to influence your choice, but if I saw them in the Advertise Forum or they were at a show I was attending, I would try to acquire eleven of them. And if it matters, I don't do auctions or eBay.

I marked the 11 cans with small yellow hearts on the copy of your image that I included with my post. Enlarge the image and they should be more visible. Thanks for response.

They're all good cans. If the Menomonie is non IRTP it's a rare can.

Hey Paul, this sounds complicated. Also there could be bugs in them. if you just want to tell them to call 62........

Honestly I think you could do well even with the offgrade cones and flats. Esp if you make small lots (3-8 cans) of the worst or common stuff.

@Pbama

What is the seller asking if you buy the entire lot?

I would offer between $200-$225 for the lot of 87 cans in the picture.

My reasoning: 10-20% would be added to my collection. 20-30% could be upgrades. 40-50% would go into trading/resale stock.

The last thing that I need is more duplicates/resale/traders and the tedious amount of time needed to process, list on ebay, pack and ship small orders.

Also one picture does not tell the whole story regarding condition.

Anyhow, that's just my thoughts, your thoughts may differ.

Happy July 4th, gotta go see the fireworks show just about to start!

Good breakdown! I agree with the PITA eBay process. Price range looks like a good starting point. Thx!
