400 Million

The 400 Million Mood Indigo lighters.

are these rare? limited editions? any help/info would be appreciated.

they made them for a few months and the date code starts the month before the 400 mark.not too rare yet but when they hit 500 the 4's will be worth a bit i figure.worth picking up one or two now.jeff

[zipponoob]

thanks Jeff, yeah, I picked one up for $40CDN.

[bigbaddad]

Nice buy and well worth having.Sorry I could not help you with another one cheaper.I had 3 boxes (30) of them when they first came out and hooked up just about every one I know for whole sale.Only problem is I only saved 3 for myself.Guess I should have saved more then that.Jeff

[zipponoob]

I'm keeping it MIB, because resale value will be higher, right?

[bigbaddad]

Sounds like the correct plan to me.One thing you could and most likely should do is take the sticker off and place it on the in side the box.They can ruin the finish if left on the lighter.Other then that display it and clean it with glass cleaner if it gets too dusty or smudges from fingers.jeff

Take the sticker OFF? My whole plan was to keep it ON.

[arthurdent]

noob! OFF!OFF!OFF! Take the sticker off!
Jeff's right, the stickers can cause more damage especially if they are the older paper type. There has been much (and I do mean very much) discussion about the stickers in Zippoclick and the common concensus is that it's not worth leaving them on. A true collector will know readily enough if a lighter is unstruck without needing a bloody sticker to prove it.

[bigbaddad]

Thats a fact Bob.I do not keep most on either unless it is an older one that still had it on when I got it.In that case taking it off put's that nasty little ghost that is so hard to get rid of.Keeping the sticker with the box and lighter is a good idea and that how I have always saved them.jeff

have these lighters got 400 million on the front and a date??if so there are quite a few mib on ebay,buy it now$22 to $28.

[bigbaddad]

Thats the one mate.I was going to send you one a few weeks ago but did not have extra's to send.Worth picking up a couple.The 300 million's go pretty good for price if you can find them so these should do the same.jeff

[freddythefox]

at that sort of price i will get one and put it away.im running out of room so im trying to be a bit picky with what i buy.

[freddythefox]

there are 3 300 million selling also.$35 buy it now.ive put a bit in for one of them.did they do a 200 and 100 million??

[freddythefox]

got snipered on the 300 million,went for $26 in the end.

[zipponoob]

I found 3 more 400 millions for $32 each. Im returningmy 400 million, getting another zippo and the rest of themoney in fluid flints and wicks, and then ill get a 400 million from the other store. If anyone wants a 400 million you could send me the money+ shipping and ill get one out to you.
