Unbelievable craigslist snag...still amazed!!!

[Kiros32]

I responded to an ad on craigslist for a vintage bottle collection. There was a picture of 20 or so bottles. So I met the guy and he opens his trunk and there were 2 large cardboard boxes...FULL of bottles and insulators. The price...$20!!!!!!!! I didn't realize exactly what I had until I got them home and laid them all out. I can't believe what was there. Tons of medicine bottles, cold cream jars, old beer bottles, wine bottles, stoppers, flasks, soda bottles, poison bottles, and several different insulators, including one that appears to be ceramic.Take a look.

Either:
1. The seller was totally stupid; or
2. The seller was totally guilty in thievery; or
3. You're totally lucky!
