I figure most of those tins are worth 10.00 new and then add 3.00 a tin for the almost 3 years of age.
That's interesting... I was trying to ball-park the high bid, and came to a number that's close to yours.
This all, of course, depends on where the folks who are buying are bidding from. If, for instance, our NZ briar brothers could figure out a way to have all those tins brought over to Aotearoa, even a high bid of $4000 could easily turn into a right nice cellar at costs well below their street price for tobacco. That is, of course, if they could figure out how to land it without exorbitant import costs.
Folks better hope people from states/provinces with high tobacco taxes better not start bidding...
