Sold a bottle, did I ask enough?

[bullgill]

Listed it on fleabay and it sold for $325 within a few hours of listing it. When that happens I wonder if I was asking enough. Do you guys think I could have asked more?

Either way I am happy, I got this bottle and another pepper sauce bottle off an auction table for $5!

Below are some pictures of it.

Assuming it's in mint condition, for a smooth base, I think you did fine.

You paid $5.00, and sold it for $325.00.........I wouldn't be thinking twice about it if I were you.

Found this site, it seems really useful. I made a free account and it gives me the prices for all the bottles.

Found some that match the description on that site, apparently I did do ok I think.

Some of them are different sized.

Take the money and run. You made out like a bandit

 

[Mackaydon]

By asking that question, are you seeking 'seller's remorse'?
You received a good price for a good bottle.
Don.....

I think so too, thanks for the reply Bass.

If you had an antique store on 5th Avenue in New York City, you could have gotten twice that price. LMAO

That's the current going price for a cathedral pepper sauce in that green color...

I eBay a lot...if I'm unsure exactly I'll always do an auction. I listed four pieces of furniture for $0.99 cents each and the total for the entire set went to around $14,000. Best part was, it was 100% profit!
Human ego won't let it sell for less. If you have time, I would have started the auction at $325 and watched the views and watchers. If I get enough of each, I'll list again for a penny and it's kind of fun watching the interest and bids.

Don't you mean about 87-88% of the profit was 100% profit?
