While I’m especially interested in purchasing the brands and brewers listed at the bottom of this page, I’ll buy or trade for virtually any clean flat top or cone top beer can, or beer tray from before 1950. A few things to note about dealing with Vintagecans:
  • I have over 35 years experience in the beer can hobby so you can be comfortable that you’re dealing with a knowledgeable collector who has an established reputation.

  • I’m forthright about values and always try to be fair. If you already have a price in mind for your item make it known up front. My valuation of your item is just MY opinion, based on variables such as scarcity, age, condition, supply and demand, graphic appeal, quantity offered, current market trends, etc. A valuation and an offer to buy are not necessarily the same thing. With that in mind I never try to deceive or lowball a seller. Hobby references are available.

  • While I’m not a dealer, I do incur many of the same expenses: Web hosting, domain registration, site design and maintenance, travel to shows, supplies etc. I factor these costs into my offers. But, since I’m not making a living at this I can usually work on a smaller margin than a dealer. That puts more money into your pocket.

  • Vintagecans doesn’t provide free estimates. I’ll negotiate seriously with sellers who are serious about selling their items. Click here to use the online selling form.
If you’re a buyer, I welcome trade offers as well as sales. Purchase cans in person, via the site or over the phone, via check or money order. Feel free to submit your want list and I’ll keep my eyes open for your wants. I offer a satisfaction guarantee you can review in the shipping and return policies.
