    What actually wears out on them? It's pretty trivial to just throw a new wick/flint on it isn't it?

    My first zippo so I'm new to everything haha. I got the orange because I got one of their handwarmers in black and when I was camping I was constantly losing it at night lol.

    The hinge pin breaks, or the hinge itself. The hinge pin can be fixed with a paperclip, but the hinge itself is spot welded so easier to have them fix it.

    FYI. This is what a 'new' zippo looks like.

    It did have the sticker. I'm sure it's not hard to peel it off and on though.

    It has light scratching, not the kind you'd get from sliding out of the case. And the wick is frayed.
