My GM cans doing better than Ford cans on ebay

With one day left my GM cans are drawing a bit more interest than my Ford cans as far s 'watcher's and bidding. One of the GM cans is a lead top which makes it more rare but one of my Fords is NOS (new old stock) which is unusual too. We'll see how it ends up tomorrow night. I am thinning out some of my collection, especially duplicates, so my wife won't be stuck with so much if I have more health issues.
Here is a link to one of the auctions if you are curious at all. Just click on 'see other seller's items' to see the cans I have listed. I am NOT asking for bids, just a fun thing to look at and see. I've been into the oil/gas can collecting for over 20 years. It's a fun hobby.

If We Had Only Known! Could Have Bought a Case of That Stuff For Pennies on The Dollar Compared to Current Value!

I Understand About Thinning Out the Stuff! I Really Really Do!

Now I Did Buy R-12 at $4.95 A Can in 1992! Worth about $35.00+ Ea Now. 2 or 3 Cases I Got Somewhere! Should Have Got More! Gotta Have Cold Air in the Old Cars!

Got Some 1970's Air Too in Some Old Wheel & Tire Combo's!

Thank you so much! Quite a bidding war for that can and way beyond what I hoped for. My Fords did well too overall. No complaints at all. It is too bad ebay takes 14% of the winning bid but the national exposure is tough to argue about. I think everyone complains about the fees because they were so much lower in the past, sometimes ebay even waived them. Oh well....It's just a hobby for me. i don't think i could run a business on ebay.
Thanks again!

I did buy a re-poseded Corvette one time. I lost money on the deal. I passed on any new deal after my mistake.

I say a Ford Mustang guy should stay with what he knows. I see a few good deals in the current market. I am talking great cars for big values.
