Buying Zippos: What Zippo Can I Expect to Get with My Money?

Buying Zippo's are expensive, just your basic Zippo can cost you around $10-$15. Some Zippos can cost well over $100! You may not even collect Zippo's just looking something fun for you to carry around and use. As a collector you don't have to go for the high price Zippo's, stick to what you enjoy collecting.

In this video, I'll show you what you can expect when purchasing a Zippo, there's several price ranges, and each price range hosts a variety of Zippos.

*Values and prices stated in this video are in reference to the current US market and US dollar. International prices are much higher due to import fees and duty taxes. Please refer to your local Zippo website, ebay, and other online resources for prices.

Hey Everyone,
My name is JRO Lights and I have been collecting Zippos for over 10 years. My collecting themes include: limited editions, Collectibles of the years, and any unique/ special designs.
I am not a film expert or editor, however I have a passion for Zippos and I hope to bring a variety and diverse range of Zippo information.
My mission is to bring knowledge to both new collectors and more seasoned collectors, and also bring more knowledge to myself.

What types of Zippos are you interested in? Vintage, advertisement, newer designs or just your plain ole brushed chrome Zippo?

[alastairlonghurst]

That was superb for the newer collector Jon. Kept it simple, but very effective. Obviously talking USA prices as opposed to UK especially in the higher price range. Keep them coming my friend!!

I got a 1996 purple 6 string guitar Camel Cigarette zippo and a 2015 bald eagle zippo at a antique store for $20. Both of them were a little worn but it was still a pretty good deal. I love buying these things second hand. You can find designs they don’t make anymore.

Cool video review. I have one of the cheaper brushed steel ones in a blister pack and it's pretty much all I'll ever need for daily use. I'm not a collector though.

[ianbaxter_uk]

A great presentation especially for any new comers.

Neat vid Jon, I don’t buy high price advertisers, just got 3-4 in the 30-40 range, that’s about my limit except if I really like it.
Yes I have bought a few round the 100 mark, Armor mostly.

Can I buy that Hesselbine tire one from you. A friend of mine works for them and it would be a great gift

[Agraves]

I like the saying, "value is what you are willing to pay". But that's not necessarily the worth of the item. . It just depends on what you are looking for.

[travisjohnson]

What's your opinion on the Japanese custom zippos?

[isseyanikapaule]

i have vintage zippo gold but i don'thave idea if ligit or not can you help me sir if ligit or not i items

[Wrathchildss]

Question, I have seen a display case of new zippo lighters in a shop. They have a couple with a price tag of 70(Canadian dollars) would they be more rare?
They’re in the same cases as the 30-50$ ones.
If I can get a rare one I’ll do it but if it’s 70 bucks for a logo (skull logo engraving) that’s not rare, I’m not going to do it.

Enjoy your videos man!

Tumbled brass armor or ugly engraved rose gold armor if you don’t wanna see wear. Once you own a $20 zippo for a year with minimal too 0 lost & found incidents your ready for a sterling silver zippo which is the ultimate piece in your hands.. the metal itself has its own ring too it.
