              I knew a fella that had an empty pack of "Red Apple Cigarettes" (the Quentin Tarantino fictional brand of smokes for people that don't know.) I offered the guy a lot for it and he wouldn't take nothing. I really can't blame him either.

                That is a great item.

                It's one thing to have a prop from a movie but to have one from a classic movie like that one is just incredible.

                I wonder what it would sell for at auction. My best guess would be between $1,000-$2,000 but of course you never know if you get two wild bidders over this.

                  Definitely a cool find. I wonder how much he paid for it

                    I don't think it would pull this much because there were so many in the movie and was a small factor in the movie. If it was something long the line of Charlie's paperboy bag or Mike's hat and cap guns, I would figure they bring this much or a few more $1000's.

                    If it was something along the lines of a golden ticket, Wonka bar, Willy's hat, or some other major object, I would guess it would be in the $10K+ range.

                    If I could have one item from this movie, it would have to be a golden ticket.
