    Are these too common to be collectable? Some of the antique shops/malls around my area have stacks of them for sale but I'm not sure if they are selling. Coke, Pepsi, and some of the other common brands like 7up are the ones that I've seen most.

    Your Thoughts?

    I couldn't unload them until I showed them mounted on the wall as display shelf/cases. And then it still took months to sell most of them. On the other hand, metal wire milk cases (particularly the larger sized ones) sold within days of getting them in. BUT none sold strictly as collectibles, more as unique "useables".

    They were made in the 100's of thousands.....but a good brand name.....and a clean crate ....is still a nice item for a country home or man cave !

    They sell if the price is right. Here, it is about $10.00 for the more common ones.

    Quite the difference in price depending on where you are.
    Up here the coke flats sell for $60-70, depending on condition. The large crates sell for $40-55, again depending on condition. They never hang around for more than a couple of days.
    Not many of the flat crates around here which is why they sell for more.

    Wow! .... I had Coke flats I couldn't hardly give away. Been a few years so maybe it is different now. Probably still have some tucked away.
