I’ll open myself to mocking by admitting that I have, in fact, sold a plastic
bicycle water bottle on eBay for $100. However, this was a very rare, mint
condition bottle from the 1980s, still in the original packaging and printed
with the Colnago name and logo. The combination of those factors

new for $170, that he has a used one listed as Rare Vintage for $450 BIN.
