cool 2002 promo cans!

 

I saw this on Ebay and said WTF? I'm new to Mini as of May04 but I thought it looked like a fake. Is it real?

 

sndwave has one of these that I have seen. very kool!

I would not pay $30 on ebay for an empty can though. . . .

 

I want it!! I know I know...it's just a can...but I have so much stuuff at my house that is mini...you wouldn't belive

 

It's real. There are a couple of these at my local MINI dealer. They're a bit dented up, though. I really want one, too.

That is very cool, not sure about the $26 price tag though.

 

I knew it was you!!! Just kidding, watch out for annes she's on the bidding list also.

When we going to see your collection?

 

Obviously I WANT it too!! Just not sure how I feel about the price tag at this point also!!! I've coveted it from afar in my dealers showroom since I bought my MINI.... we'll just have to see what happens.....

 

Ok-Ok I'm out! I have my limits and if I bend them....anyway part of the thrill of the find is seeing what a bargin I can get and that's not much of a bargin to me at this point! I expect that the bidding could go even higher as the Motoring ***** have gone for $100+ and I will agree that this is a rare find...oh well...maybe another time

 

I paid $20 for a MINI barf bag once... At least I keep it in my MINI though.

 

Me too I'm out but it's still on my watch list

I'm with you annes, I like to find them, try to get them, cheap, and then watch what they'll go for

Good luck to Tuls and I hope there are no Snipers out there, I hate them

 

Congratulations to Peter!!!(who won the auction)

Has anyone else been able to track down one of these with their dealer? I checked with MINIUSA and they told me that there were no more...I'm still doubting that...

Peter, is it cool? Are you glad you got it? Congrats again!!

 

I didn't realize so many folks were bidding on it..heh he....buut...oh well..I too have my limits...and I think I am going to have to track one down now....heh heh....

 

Hasn't arrived yet. Truth be told I was a bit worried about this seller. I emailed him inquiring about the condition. I received no reply. Since I've never seen one of these anywhere else I held my nose and bid.

After the auction close...no communication. I think it was Tuesday before I heard from him telling me he was sending it out.

So...I'm just hoping it's decent. If not..bad feedback for him.. which I don't think I've ever left before.

Peter...spec'ing a glass case..in Denver

 

I wish you luck Peter! I know that ebay is a risk-let's hope he is a decent seller!

I'll be anxious to hear about it when you get it. I have, like James, seen one up close at my dealers but it wasn't for sale...so...I'll have to keep looking!!!!!

 

I was at Downtown MINI today and took this photo of their two MINI beer cans:



I want one!

James

 

Well..that's why I spent a fair bit more than common sense would have dictated. A good friend once said.."you never regret what you buy..you only regret what you don't"

Peter...who never thought he's be so stoked about an empty beer can..in Denver

 

Must Have One!!!!

 

Well..I now have a very expensive empty beer can. But it's darn cool!

The condition is very good save for a roughness along part of the top lip.

Peter

Thanks for the photos,Peter!! The "can" looks great!! And your snow globes and motoring ball!! I agree with your thoughts about only regreting what you didn't get....I'm regreting it! I'm jealous!!! But I really am glad that you were able to purchase it and share it with us-thanks so much!!!:smile:

 

I am so pleased! A few weeks ago, I purchased the MINI beer can from Peter, via ebay. So now I hold one of the coveted holy grails of MINIdom!!! I have to tell you all that it is a cool item and when it's time is up with me, I promise to pass it along to a MINI owner!!

Now I'm going to have to get a bigger suitcase to hold all my MINI goodies!!!!
