Buying Zippos: What Zippo Can I Expect to Get with My Money?

[@JRO_Lights]

What types of Zippos are you interested in? Vintage, advertisement, newer designs or just your plain ole brushed chrome Zippo?

That was superb for the newer collector Jon. Kept it simple, but very effective. Obviously talking USA prices as opposed to UK especially in the higher price range. Keep them coming my friend!!

[@JRO_Lights]

Thanks Alastair! Yeah, had to throw that disclaimer in the description lol. You know my fellow UK collectors have my utmost respect and I'm always here for y'all!

[@alastairlonghurst]

@@JRO_Lights Likewise for helping our USA friends out where we can!!

[@azeemmukhtar3247]

i wait for your videos. nice and relevant info.

[@JRO_Lights]

Thank you for the support Azeem 😁 What types of Zippos do you look for?

[@azeemmukhtar3247]

@@JRO_Lights i love the brass finish Zippos of all kinds.

[@UltraMagaFan]

I got a 1996 purple 6 string guitar Camel Cigarette zippo and a 2015 bald eagle zippo at a antique store for $20. Both of them were a little worn but it was still a pretty good deal. I love buying these things second hand. You can find designs they don’t make anymore.

[@deadstickdave9479]

Great informational for newer collectors bud

[@JRO_Lights]

Thanks Dave I appreciate it 😁

[@ianbaxter_uk]

A great presentation especially for any new comers.

[@JRO_Lights]

Thanks Ian!

[@stephenedgecock]

Cool video review. I have one of the cheaper brushed steel ones in a blister pack and it's pretty much all I'll ever need for daily use. I'm not a collector though.

[@tyredlie]

Neat vid Jon, I don’t buy high price advertisers, just got 3-4 in the 30-40 range, that’s about my limit except if I really like it. Yes I have bought a few round the 100 mark, Armor mostly.

[@JRO_Lights]

Yeah I rare buy Zippos over $200. However I love it when I sell Zippos over that much haha

[@l.truran3417]

I love the explanation. My collection of zippos is all over the place..I do not own any +$100 range yet..

[@JRO_Lights]

Thank you! Thats perfectly alright! What’s your themes you go for?

[@l.truran3417]

Skulls mainly. Thanks for sharing your collection.

[@qaching]

I paid $500 for the collectible of the year 2019

[@johnengland8619]

Thanks for the content. I have a small collection so far

[@JRO_Lights]

Thanks for the comment It all starts with more than one and goes down hill from there!

[@deohernandez5706]

I just got two zippo’s straight from the official zippo store and it was 66 bucks… I hope I like them I got a new release classic type matte green grass zippo and a slim type matte pink zippo…

[@JRO_Lights]

Nice! I’m curious on how that green grass zippo will hold up long term. Good pick ups!

[@TXFarmRoad]

Coppers 👌🏻 I strictly collect coppers.

[@Agraves1006]

I like the saying, "value is what you are willing to pay". But that's not necessarily the worth of the item. . It just depends on what you are looking for.

[@JRO_Lights]

That’s a great way to see it!

[@Wrathchildss]

Question, I have seen a display case of new zippo lighters in a shop. They have a couple with a price tag of 70(Canadian dollars) would they be more rare? They’re in the same cases as the 30-50$ ones. If I can get a rare one I’ll do it but if it’s 70 bucks for a logo (skull logo engraving) that’s not rare, I’m not going to do it. Enjoy your videos man!

[@rickpeeples254]

Stickers?

[@JRO_Lights]

Just a slang term for the designs with printed images on them.

[@buffering7612]

Tumbled brass armor or ugly engraved rose gold armor if you don’t wanna see wear. Once you own a $20 zippo for a year with minimal too 0 lost & found incidents your ready for a sterling silver zippo which is the ultimate piece in your hands.. the metal itself has its own ring too it.

[@travisjohnson6358]

What's your opinion on the Japanese custom zippos?

[@JRO_Lights]

Expensive and they are easy to fake. They look cool don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s challenging to determine authenticity and origin. I usually don’t bother with them.

[@dennisdetorres8831]

d zippo 18 BRADFORD MADE IN USA HOW MUCH

[@andrew5373]

Can I buy that Hesselbine tire one from you. A friend of mine works for them and it would be a great gift

[@JRO_Lights]

That’s awesome, sorry my Mississippi Zippos are in my personal collection and not for sale.

[@Station51]

[@JRO_Lights]

Duty taxes. Find a “pond pal”! Someone to help you find Zippos in the US and ship them over.

[@alecbuxton7634]

Although Zippos are nice Lighters their is no way I would spend more than £30.00 on a single lighter and for that sort of money you can get some nice ones in the UK for about £12.00 to £16.00 some limited edition models from £16.00 to £25.00 basic model like chrome and brass colour models from £21.00 to £35.00 and if you wanted to show your patriotism Ones with national flags £30.00 to £50.00 for some of the designs
