I was at an auction a while back and they had several cases (10?) of old oil in cans. They looked like 1970s maybe 1960s. Quaker State and Skelly where most of them. They sold them by the quart take one or take so many up to the remaining case. Then they would start on the next case. One guy there seemed determined to buy all of them - I just wanted two cans of Skelly because that was the Go to brand on the farm for years. So I ran him up to $20 on every single quart (Quaker State too - just because) - but he outbid me every time - he also paid $21 a quart for every single can. If he had just once let me have a couple cans he would have probably bought the rest for $2 - $3 a quart - wrong crowd for those items and no one else was bidding.
Later the auctioneer asked me about it and got a good laugh out of it. He said he told the seller they were worth something because they almost hauled them to the dump during the preauction cleanup. They ended up getting over $2500 for them.
