Why I Quit Collecting Zippos

Collecting / addiction. We know. This is the way. I got 16 ZIPPO's in the mail tracking at this time. lol.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Way she goes ! Lol

[@eleveneleven572]

The trick of collecting is to limit the numbers. That way you can appreciate each one. I love watches, but have too many to use. I have a long-standing Zippo addiction but fortunately only 8. I appreciate each one.

[@dougfury.]

Yeah I watched the premier and the price of these zippos is getting outrageous. I’ve been collecting since the 70’s. It used to be a fun cheap hobby. I also agree on all the new ugly designs.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Hey Doug. Yeah seen u in there. Even quality is down a bit but still better than the competition.

[@locointellect1460]

I’ve only been collecting for a year and there aren’t many places to pick up zippos. Seeing the different prices on the web for certain lighters is frustrating. Hope to get to your level one day with the collection. Love your videos and opinions…keep them coming.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Thanks loco ! Yeah just keep looking at pawnshops and stores like that. U can buy a whole box of used zippo for 100$ on eBay. A lot of mine are old used ones.

[@donhenry7930]

I didn't realize some of the new Zippos can be up to $300. It's just so crazy to me because at the end of the day it is just a lighter.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah I know. Zippo is just a simple lighter 50$ for a basic lighter is to much

Yeh, you haven`t seen ST Dupont.... Luxury goods...

Great video as always, especially with my morning coffee. And ya, I agree with the pricing and designs. I try to stick to the older zippos unless it’s a gift.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

[@kymanibrown7636]

Tbh, I just started collecting compared to most people, I started in 2021. Back then I didn't mind spending $30-$60 per zippo. I now have 12 zippos (a lil collection if I can say so) and I think im beginning to have the same thought process you have they are absolutely priced ridiculously. Im still young, and ive always had a vision to have a wall of zippos but for now I just gotta wait. 😬
And the new zippo designs.....yeah im good tryna get the old, cooler designs 😅

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah man that’s a nice little collection. Just get the ones u like is best I could say. Cause there is some really nice designs. And cheap vintage zippos available

[@thatfellarosto]

I only have a few zippos myself but I love them, I have two of the Vintage style ones in both chrome and brass, two standard chrome ones, and a matte blue one. But recently I've been wanting to collect IMCO lighters and got a Streamline 6800 model. I've come to your channel many times for fun and to learn new things about these lighters. And as a smoker it feels nice to have a well set up lighter that looks cool!

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Hey thanks man. Yeah they really are fun. Especially if your a smoker. The IMCO are cool but I always go back to my zippo. I just prefer them.

Joking apart, I’d have more but for some reason the prices for zippos new and old over here are becoming extortionate in price.
I love zippos, I bought my first one in 2001 and still use it today.

I am just about to start collecting because knives and flashlights take up too much space. I like to carry a custom SAK, a mini pen and a flashlight as a regular daily carry. I have a ton of all these items and they change out daily. I like mostly brass, copper and titanium sets. My brass zippo is often the lighter that matches my many brass sets so more brass zippos would be nice, copper zippos are high on my priority but they are so expensive. I'll probably look for 2nd hand ones. Glad I found this channel.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

I quit collecting zippos and started collecting zorros. Zippos are quite costly where i live. A regular chrome zippo is around £40 ($50 US) but i can get zorro lighters for as little as £5 ($6 US) even zorros that have beautiful artwork on them are cheaper then regular zippos are here. I just recently got myself a copper armour zorro with a beautiful engraving for £14 ($17 US). If i wanted the copper zippo it would cost me £107 ($135) not including shipping and the zorro is probably 4 times as thick as the zippo.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah better value with zorro.

[@bakerap2211]

The SKIDZ Zippos you were talking about is part of a collaboration with the brand SKIDZ, which is a clothing brand. So while the design is really, really bad, Zippo may have had to make some compromises with SKIDZ. Otherwise yeah, you're right about all of this.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah I’m aware of the clothing brand. Still looks like the artist Didnt understand the assignment lol

I had built up a very big collection, even made a display case out of wood with my dad. I quit because I was selling some no-name fliptop lighteres on ebay and their lawyers bought one and tried to bang me out of $25,000 in "damages". It was a shakedown, an empty threat, and they naturally went away. The name of the company was continental enterprises. I didn't remove my listings because I did nothing wrong, but zippo cried to ebay and they had them removed. The zippos I have, I still keep, but I do smoke clove cigarettes and no longer use them (I use Bomblighter brand, which uses Star brand).

I'm sure you have seen it already but there's a short video here on UA-cam by Forbes called "Zippo: An 82 Year Old Flame" and it actually answers a lot of what you're saying in this video, from the words they say to the current CEO's demeanor towards the company, "America doesn't smoke like it used to" is especially a standout line to me because that video is now 8 years old & with the HUGE rise in vaping in the last 3 or 4 years especially here in the UK, it's really no wonder why they refuse to put the prices down! it doesn't make it ok of course but you have to imagine their customer base must have dropped off a cliff in the last decade, couple that with people buying second hand zippos instead of new ones etc from a business standpoint it probably makes sense to keep the cost up even if it means losing a few die hard fans :(

Hi people…. So, I have just purchased and received my latest edition of zippos. It is the ‘American Zippo Classic’ (24751) with the distinctive top. Date is ‘G’ 2012. Looks absolutely great! However… I did notice after inspecting it that the writing on the felt is actually red! Shouldn’t that be black going by the date? Not only that, was this Zippo In production in 2012? 🤔🤔
It looks and feels absolutely genuine and the markings are identical to other zippos I have dating 2012 up to 2014. Doesn’t look like it has been used either. In fact, even the wick looked liked it had been packed from zippo lol 😂
I only purchased it because it was half the price as it is on the zippo website so not too worried I have a fugazi. Don’t think it is though.
Anyway, am I just being fussy or paranoid?

I don’t believe when removing the coating it automatically comes out high polished as I seen on another video.

Hi, i’m looking for the do it all, all day everday carry zippo that i will use with butane insert for smoking cigars
Any advice ?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Hey buds. Sounds like u need a 41 replica brass. I prefer the yellow flame insert last longer and is more reliable. But if u like torch single or double are good I use them all the time. I prefer the double for big stogies , but my single torch has not been getting much use these days. I keep double torches in my stogie zippos. Eventually get yourself a solid silver 41 lol u won’t regret it. Big flex when smoking a stogie

Ok no problem man i get it
Yeah i plan to buy the yellow flame not torch because i have many torch lighters and for a zippo i’d like to keep it traditional with the yellow flame being closer to the original design with the wheel, the problem was the fact that is gas and it’s not recommended for lighting cigars, problem solved with yellow flame insert.
And for the advice
I really hesitate between the armor high polished chrome and the 1941 chrome brushed (of polished if it exists i dont know) i like the polished chrome finish overall because i’ts a good alternative to the crazy expensive silver.
So yeah i can’t choose between those two. I’ve watch you saying that the hinge is better on 41 but the armor is substancial too and feels solid so if you can help me choose

[@A.C.Lawrence]

Not a lot of companies offer silver products because of the potential for loss. Idk if zippo had to re tool machines to stamp silver, or how much they resupply. But. To consider your reasoning, a $40 brass zippo has about $0.15 worth of metal. A lot of what you're complaining about is simply inflation. Having a luxury line of zippo is better than zippo closing down. Also, consider that wages in Pennsylvania also went up.
