EBay Items in Demand: October 2019 Consumer Preferences on eBay Marketplace
In the world of vintage collectibles, October 2019 has seen a fascinating array of items go under the virtual hammer on eBay. One of the most intriguing finds is a 1 Gallon Tin Litho Oyster Can, packed for Hanks Seafood Co. from Easton, Maryland. This specific can is a rare find, as the seller has not encountered it before, and it is being sold at a significantly higher price compared to similar cans, which typically sell in the low hundreds of dollars.
The can showcases a captivating image of Captain Hank on the front. Despite its age, the item shows signs of wear, including small nicks, scratches, discoloration, crazing spots, and wear on the back. However, the top of the can is quite clean and solid, with expected surface wear. Interestingly, the bottom of the can is discolored and textured, but there are no holes. The can does not have a serrated lid, and it is not related to the previously mentioned 1 Gallon Tin Litho Oyster Can that does not naturally deteriorate with use.
Prices for vintage tin litho advertising cans can vary widely depending on condition, rarity, and demand. For a 1-gallon tin litho oyster can, prices could range from $50 to several hundred dollars, but the exact selling price for a Cap'n Hanks 1 Gallon Tin Litho Oyster Can remains to be seen, as the provided search results did not include any specific information on its average selling price on eBay or similar marketplaces. To get the most accurate and current average selling price, it is recommended to check completed and sold listings for this exact item on eBay or specialized vintage collectible auction sites.
Another unique item up for auction is an antique Iron 1924 Lima Builder's Plate, with 20 bids and 11 bidders, currently priced at $3,716. Unlike the Cap'n Hanks can, the Lima Builder's Plate does not have a specific eBay seller listed. The antique Dr. Lesure's Remedies Veterinary Medicine Country Store Cabinet Sign Book is also up for auction, with 22 bids and 16 bidders, currently priced at $3,150.
Interestingly, the auction for the antique 19th Century Railroad Steam Locomotive Train Headlamp Headlight has received more bids and bidders than the Dr. Lesure's Remedies Veterinary Medicine Country Store Cabinet Sign Book and the Lima Builder's Plate, with 45 bids and 11 bidders, currently priced at $3,700. Larger tin cans like the Cap'n Hanks can have lids designed for long-term use, contributing to a more decorative appearance.
With these fascinating finds and competitive bidding wars, October 2019's "What's Selling on eBay" auction is proving to be a treasure trove for vintage collectors. For those interested in checking out these items or bidding on them, Gypsiegirlz, wwolst12, and an unspecified seller are handling the auctions for the Cap'n Hanks can, the Lima Builder's Plate, and the Dr. Lesure's Remedies Veterinary Medicine Country Store Cabinet Sign Book, respectively. The Railroad Steam Locomotive Train Headlamp Headlight auction is being handled by an unspecified eBay seller.
Shopping for vintage items in October 2019 has stretched beyond the world of collectibles to encompass home-and-garden items, such as the unique Cap'n Hanks 1 Gallon Tin Litho Oyster Can. This intriguing find will be up for grabs in the lifestyle category, along with other vintage treasures like the antique Dr. Lesure's Remedies Veterinary Medicine Country Store Cabinet Sign Book and the antique Iron 1924 Lima Builder's Plate.
