More Orange Sticker Craziness

Recently, someone posted a picture of a Zippo being sold with both a repair return sticker and an orange sticker. We all thought it was ridiculous because the orange sticker wasn't even "proving" that the Zippo was unused. I actually found one worse than that on Facebook Marketplace. Not only does it have the repair return sticker and the orange sticker but the seller marked it as having no insert! Seriously? What is wrong with people?

Bucking Bronco

I was finally able to find a Marlboro Bucking Bronco in good shape at a price I could handle. It has a decent amount of patina but no damage. I got it for $20 on Facebook Marketplace.

Why you should remove the orange sticker.

This is for everyone who asks why I and others always suggest removing the orange sticker from your Zippos. I saw this one for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Regardless of what you've heard or read, it adds no value to your Zippo and is not needed to prove it is unfired. All it does is potentially damage your finish.

App Question

I have a quick question. I have seen people make reference to the Torchvault app. Is that only available for Apple or is it on Android too? I can't seem to find it. I could only find the Zippo Collectors app and it isn't great. Plus, whoever designed it knows nothing about dating Zippos and has completely wrong information in the dating section.

Brushed Chrome

I felt like I needed a modern brushed chrome that I could carry and not worry about damaging/losing a vintage one. When I saw this unused in its box for $10 on Marketplace, I knew I had to get it.

Hidden Gem on Marketplace

I was browsing through Facebook Marketplace and I came across a post for "smoking accessories". It had some ashtrays and some other stuff but up in the corner, I noticed a brand new, in the box, orange sticker still on it, Marlboro Storming Scroll Zippo. It was in perfect condition. The seller wanted $15 for the lot. I messaged to ask if they would ship it since they were a state away. They said yes and knocked the price down to $10. So, after adding $8 for shipping, I got this beauty for $18 and even ended up with a beat up Marlboro compass Zippo as well. Not a bad deal.

My U.S.A. 250th Anniversary Dealer's Exclusive Zippo came in today. Not the limited edition but I'm happy with it.

Did anyone else notice that the colors switched on the dealer exclusive one? The one on the Zippo website is the opposite of the one on the promo and the one the dealers were selling. Are there 2 versions or is it a marketing mixup?
