Now that I know what I am looking for I usually go to Zippo.com or other Zippo stores and see what they have for cheap Zippo Lighters for sale online. The official Zippo Lighter site usually has the most solid price on Zippos. They may even have a sale running on the Zippo Lighter that I am interested in purchasing. I may then go over to an online auction site such as eBay and see what the lowest price I can give for a cheap Zippo Lighter on the auction site. I also like to check and see what has been sold to see what prices people are paying for vintage lighters and how much I can give for a new in the box lighter. EBay has a ton of information as to what the market is willing to pay or sell on any given item. Plus if you find a great deal on a Zippo Lighter for sale you can also see how reputable the seller is by his or her sales history.

For instance, at Christmas I was looking for a special Harley Davidson Zippo lighter. I could not find the Harley Zippo lighters that I wanted at the regular Zippo store so off I went to eBay. They had tons of Harley Davidson Zippo lighters on their auctions. I was able to find just the right Harley Zippo lighters for my son-in-law in plenty of time for Christmas. In fact the person who was selling this Harley Davidson Zippo lighter had no idea that it was a vintage Zippo Lighter and worth way more than what he sold it for. My son-in-law was so thrilled when he opened his present and I was thrilled that I found a this cheap Zippo Lighter for sale online. I now have purchased several Harley Zippo lighters for further occasions and for my Zippo Lighter collection.

EBay Is not the only place to shop for cheap Zippo Lighters for sale. But I find I feel more secure buying through a site like eBay. I have also purchased a few Zippos from Craigslist. Even though with Craigslist you are not as secure as you are at eBay but if you check the locals you can even deal in person so you have an opportunity to be able to visually see and inspect the Zippo Lighter for sale and make sure that it is authentic. I have had some Zippo Lighters shipped and so far have never been burnt but I also know that this could end up badly one time.

I have been very pleased so far shopping for cheap Zippo Lighters online. I really hate going out shopping so anything I can do online is such a blessing for me. Unless I am dealing with an auction or garage sale I avoid main stream shopping as much as possible. I do not even do my own grocery shopping. Thank goodness my husband loves to shop. I will be covering how I find cheap Zippo Lighters for sale offline in a future post. This is how I go about finding cheap Zippo Lighters for sale online.

If you have access to garage sales and moving sales, these are great places to find cheap Zippo Lighters. Many people do not know the value that Zippo Lighters have. All they know is that they have accumulated several lighters that they no longer want or that do not work. With a Zippo Lighter there is a lifetime warranty on these lighters and they are free to get shipped. Or perhaps the home owner has quit smoking and they no longer want to hang on to their lighters. I know myself that I had accumulated several Zippo Lighters from grandparents and parents that had passed away. Until I really understood the value that these lighters had I just kept them all in a box in storage thinking someday I would get rid of them.

Knowing what I know now about Zippo Lighters I am always on the lookout for them. Vintage Zippo Lighters are quite valuable. I can pick up lighters cheap at different sales and auctions and resell many of them for over a 400% profit. Well worth anyone to collect Zippos. I scour through a lot of the self storage buildings that people have abandoned. The self storage owners do not want to hang onto junk that people have left behind in there units do to lack of keeping up the rental on these units. The owners are happy to self the whole unit for the price of the rent owed. Around where I live these units are quite cheap so to buy a whole unit of stuff could cost $100 dollars or less. I have found some vary old Zippo Lighters that people have hung onto through the years. I have even been able to pick up a few Harley Davidson Zippo Lighters. Anything with Harley Davidson on it is premium. Harley Zippo Lighters are no different.

So if you are looking for cheap Zippo Lighters for sale, think outside the box and you will find some real gems floating around.
