Post #4: It's REALLY Not Worth Anything

Ebay is an exceptional tool for quickly assessing value. By searching completed listings, you can easily see if something has sold recently and if so, for what amount. I used to collect Coke bottles. I didn't get very far, because at heart I am not really much of a collector. But I have a 1980 UGA National Champs bottle and a Paul "Bear" Bryant one, and several other miscellaneous ones. I went to Ebay tonight to see what they might be worth - after all, they were of a limited edition, and they are now 28-ish years old. Perfect condition! Like new! Mint! Worthless. You can't even GIVE them away on ebay - I could find nary a completed listing for either one of these beauties that had even sold. How much do we own because we think it might be worth something, either today or someday?
