I would take one without the closure and airlock but everything else. How much do you want for it shipped?

Both bottles have sold. Fun is over!
You're the one selling gear. The onus is on you to demonstrate value, not prospective buyers. LOL @ me contributing to this thread, but as I'm in the market for 6G better bottles I dared think I might find a "deal" on a used one!
$60 Brand new:

Late for the party. Meh. Oh well.

I don't have to demonstrate squat. I put up the items and I set a price based on the cursory research i did of a few vendors at that time,, right or wrong. If an interested buyer points out to me that xyz homebrew supply is selling them for x price that's why you should sell them to me for y price, I'm likely to cut a deal. Unless you type things like "meh", then it's full price or no deal!
I've sold almost 10k worth of brewing stuff on this site, including these bottles, so its all good. No, I'm not a vendor.

So in just 60 posts you've already sold $10k worth of gear on this site?

Yes, that's correct. That includes two systems, that's why it's up there.
OK guy. You don't have to demonstrate squat.

Exactly. The price I set worked just fine for me. Anything else?
So you're here to make a buck, not learn or contribute?
SMH. Community. Be part of it.

There's no profit for me in selling all of the things I've sold this year, I'm just getting out of the hobby altogether. This was all of my equipment. I've participated mildly in this forum, extensively in others, and I've learned a lot throughout the years right here on HBT.

Exactly. Why don't you go and be a part of the community in a constructive way instead of posting here in this classified thread for two items that have already sold?
^ Dude just close the thread and stop power tripping already. It's the internet tough guy. Chill out. I came because I was in the market for better bottles. Why the hell are you here policing everybody? I guess you're all sold out of your 10k worth of product because anyone who came here interested in your product has gotten berated.
Unsubbed, get your juvenile last word power tripper post in...3, 2, 1....

Blastoff!
I knew this was coming, the personal attacks, I guess I struck a nerve. I'm not power tripping, policing or berating anyone man, I'm just responding to posts in my thread as they come and I'm responding in an honest adult fashion. Now it's just a distraction for me to break up and lighten this evening's monotony. I'm not going to close the thread.

So who paid that much money for the bottles again?

Probably someone who made an offer, instead of just bitching and whining about the price.

Good point. That much is true. However, his 60+ posts ALL deal with selling stuff here. When someone points out they saw a Better Bottle on eBay for $38, his response is basically too bad I missed it, I could have sold it here for $100 and turned a tidy profit. Rubs me the wrong way I guess.

I said that, yes, I did. , I assure you I was 100% joking. If I could pull that kind of scam off, well, I wouldn't! Relax a little! Have a homebrew!
Not all 60 of my posts deal with selling for the record, although most of them do.
I bought the bottles. I was wanting to buy new, compared to the NB pricing it was a decent deal. He explained his pricing and included pics. I made a lower offer and got them. They have shipped already. Not a bad experience so far.
BTW I think the accessories for Better Bottle ARE overpriced to begin with, but I've got a sour that needs transferred on to oak and don't want to disturb the pellicle with a siphon, so these should be ideal.

Sheiße! I have to get back to the post office before it's too late! Screw you Robster! I better add a ha ha ha to this so some of these uptight fellows don't think that I'm serious. So, ha ha ha. Also, the .gif is not actually me, it's Scrooge McDuck, a cartoon character swimming in cartoon money. It should also not be construed as a representation of me, I don't actually have a large room filled with coins and equipped with a diving platform. However, if I convert to Zimbabwean dollars, it could be possible!

I would just like to say that this thread has been most entertaining. And while you may or may not agree with the OPs pricing or outlook I give him props for maintaining civility even when attacked. He was snarky and sarcastic at times yes but did not stoop to ugly attacks and maintained a sense of humor throughout. I am glad you were able to find a buyer now let's all relax, have a home brew and find another thread to blow up!
Purpose Served.
