Welcome to The Bottle Vault!

I sell quite a bit on ebay, and my seller's list is usually active with a wide variety of goodies. My address for additional information is... David Bethman P. O.

WESTERN BOTTLE AUCTION #40 will be up on ebay in MARCH 2010, this one will be kind of a Wild West Auction, with classic WINCHESTER empty AMMO boxes, early PETERS CARTRIDGE CO boxes, early 2 piece SHOTGUN SHELL boxes, Gloppy Top WESTERN WHISKIES, many RARE & SCARCE Western Bottles, early GUN and REVOLVER catalogs from COLT, PETERS, WINCHESTER, saloon WHISKEY SHOT GLASSES, and much more to come, so please keep my sellers list in mind, thank you! POST OFFICE SHIPPING TIMES... I will do my best to mail your items in a very timely manner, usually I ship within ONE DAY of receiving payment. The Post Office is not open Saturday nite or on Sunday where I live, so packages are shipped on Monday for auctions that end Saturday afternoon or evening, and on the next day after receiving payment, for auctions that end during the weekdays. Once the package is in the Post Office, it is out of my control as to the time it takes to get to you. Remember, especially at Christmas time, that packages can take quite a while to make that journey.When leaving shipping time feedback, please do not penalize me for post office delays, thank you. NOTE - INSURANCE on items... eBay has changed the rules regarding Postal Insurance on shipping collectibles and antiques, and does not allow insurance to be an option on EBAY. In order to protect my winning bidders and myself from Post Office mishandling, damage or loss, my Postage Charges will now include Delivery Confirmation or Insurance, as I see they needed. Sorry about that, not my choice! I have had a few inquiries regarding postage costs.... and the USPS is once again (Jan 2010) raising package rates, they now plan to raise stamp rates every May and package rates as needed, so I have decided to keep my bidders updated with what most of the postage costs will be in my upcoming auctions. I will strive to give you the least expensive postage cost, you can plan on most of my items being shipped via Priority Mail, and I will combine and ship in one box or group to save you on costs. I do not charge any kind of "handling fee" or "materials fee." A typical pharmacy bottle will ship for $5.00, a larger patent medicine bottle for $6.50, an ACL soda or embossed soda for $7.50, a QT milk bottle for $8.50, and a QT blob beer or Western Whiskey for $9.50. I can ship up to 3 medium soda bottles or 4 insulators for $10.35 in the Medium Flat Rate Box. I can ship up to 7 pharmacy or soda sized bottles for $13.50 in the Large Flat Rate box. Larger groups of bottles will be priced according to zip code sent to, though they are now considered "oversize" by the Post Office and carry a penalty in extra cost, I can usually save you about half the cost of individual shipping cost in a larger group of bottles. "The Bottle Vault" will be offering quality Western bottle and related advertising items for auction on ebay under the user ID of "thebottlevault" The auctions will be featuring goodies from the Dakotas westward thru the Rocky Mtn states, Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Items to be offered include Territorial bottles, sodas, pharmacy bottles, milks, whiskies, hair bottles, and many more categories of bottles. Theme type auctions, such as ACL sodas and drug store bottles, will also be offered. I am accepting consignments of quality bottles to be professionally auctioned for you on ebay, with great photos and detailed descriptions. These auctions began in May of 2004 and will be ongoing. Every other month or so I will be offering an excellent ebay auction, with many lots of QUALITY Western bottles and advertising items. Please check my "About Me" page for updates. For more information please contact David Bethman at (360) 927-2408, thank you! |
