How to get Coca-Cola items for your collection

keng — Wed, 23 May 2007 06:33:40 +0000

There are many ways to get a Coca-Cola item and grow your Coca-Cola item
collection. I have tried to figure it out a number of ways and listed them
here below for those interested to get the items they want more easily.

1. Buy from stores

You can buy a bottle or a can of Coca-Cola from local stores or grocery stores in your country. A better way to collect is to buy it when it is still available in the store. By this method you can get an item with the cheapest price for growing up your Coca-Cola collection.

2. Join the Coca-Cola promotion Campaign

Some Coca-Cola items are available through promotion campaigns only. You will need to join that promotion to get some souvenirs or collectible items of Coca-Cola, e.g., Coca-Cola t-shirt, watch, ash-tray , etc. Sometimes, you will need to buy a lot of Coca-Cola cans, may be 6 cans at a time to get the Coca-Cola t-shirt. But I think it is worth to join and get the items by this method. The other way is to look for such items in fast food restaurants ,e.g., McDonald, Burger King and so on. They always partner with Coca-Cola to release the Coca-Cola collectible items as a mutual promotion campaign.

3. Auction

Currently, the collectible items are easier to find through online auctions. From some big websites like E-bay, you can easily bid for your needed Coca-Cola collectibles.

4. Trading

You can also trade your Coca-Cola items with your trade partners or online trade lists. But not every type of Coca-Cola items are available for trade. The most popular items to trade are Coca-Cola cans or bottles.

5. Join the Coca-Cola collector’s club meeting

To get more connection with other Coca-Cola collectors, you may need to join Coca-Cola Collector’s Club in your area or you can join the official Coca-Cola Collector Club. When you go and join a meeting, the sponsor or the host may give you a valuable gift. From my experience, when I joined one of the Coca-Cola Collector’s meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, the Thailand Coca-Cola company was the sponsor and they gave away unreleased Coca-Cola cans to the members who joined that meeting. Yes, I also got that unreleased can too. I hope you also may get these kinds of items from this kind of meeting in your area.

6. Garage sales or flea market

The most exciting way to get a Coca-Cola items is searching from some piles of antiques or stuffs in a garage sale or a flea market. You can look for a flea market and garage sale in your area. Take the time and look for the cool stuff that you may get for a cheap price.

7. Event

Look for the Coca-Cola events in your area, the exhibitor may give away some Coca-Cola stuffs for people who come and visit their booths.
