Title: Cool Deco Cigarette Case
Post by: Simon13 on December 29, 2012, 03:16:46 PM: This is one of the cooler recent finds again like most things no idea what to price it. We have a shop, and pricing is so strange these days you can walk into a salvation army store find something worthless selling for really expensive and sitting right next to it is a sterling silver bowl for 2.00$ that happened to me today. But that is another story...

Here are the pictures I really like this item.

I really dig the picture frame inside with the old picture. if anyone has any dealing in these please tell.

This isn't yours, but kind of what I'm talking about.

Do some looking on Ebay ending prices and Ruby Lane to get a feel for what to ask for it !! Just don`t go too high !! Much depends on your area and your customer base !!
