"on phone with BPT... i'm dropping down the total to one bottle per person to give more of you a chance... it should go live any minute I think.."

Can't wait for the indignant comments. Jeff Smith gun be mad!

 

[drbenzo1]

one bottle for $100? **** this... I have one in a cart if anyone wants it... 14 mins left... #GOPICKITUPFORMEBRO

 

[GhettoFabulous]

Got one for $50. They had an option to buy either the $50 or the $100 bottle. If this was a psychology experiment on the charitable inclinations of humans I think the results will be fairly predictable.

 

[GottaTickemAll]

I didn't see the option for $50, so bought 1 for $100.

And that will only be confirmed when these bottles hit the trade market and people want "$4$". Of course, this was all demonstrated abundantly already with the DBD release.

10 MINUETES left... I am not buying this beer... Im SRS... who wants it?

 

[StarRaptor1]

Most messed up system ever

The $100 bottle was the first to show up and I put it in my cart. I'm thinking to myself "**** a $100 bottle of beer" but I left it in my cart and kept refreshing another screen. A few moments later a "First Tier CFH Sales" bottle appeared. Changed the qty of that to 1 and the qty of "Second Tier CFH Sales" to 0 hit add to cart. Paid and kicked back

 

[StarRaptor1]

Did I start a thing?

 

[pjl44]

Got one of the $100 bottles in my cart.

Stared at screen for 2 minutes.

Re-evaluated life and whether I was really going to cross the Rubicon.

Release.

 

[JulianB1]

I'd pay $100 for a bottle if I were in San Diego, but if I'm going to donate $70 to a Humane Society (which I have no problem with), it would be my local one.

 

[drbenzo1]

I suck... I bought it...

 

[pjl44]

I'd pay $100 for a bottle if I were in San Diego, but if I'm going to donate $70 to a Humane Society (which I have no problem with), it would be my local one.

In addition to supporting a good cause, it also gives one a justification to combat the people in their life who would use purchasing a $100 bottle of beer as further evidence of alcoholism.

This year I'm going to fly to Copenhagen for the Blabaer release and ask $4$ including airfare and hotel in return. I'll leave the meals out though; that'd just be greedy.

Got 2 at the $50 level. Took awhile but they pop in and out.

One for me one for wife. Unfortunately she will drink it.

 

[GottaTickemAll]

I'm not at all a rich person, but spending $100 gives $70 to a good cause (one I've supported in the past, the SD Humane Society) and allowed me to sleep in my bed and not wait in line all night long. I'm going back to sleep now. See some of you at Brewbies (another great cause).

 

[drbenzo1]

More $100 bottles up

 

[justXbeer]

I suck... I bought it...

$70 tax write-off

 

[drbenzo1]

$70 tax write-off

I was just wondering about that...

 

[drbenzo1]

Those $100 bottles keep coming up... Peoples must be putting in cart, then realizing how much they are spending

 

[lambandtunaphish]

$100 bottle in cart... How do I sell this to haveyouseenmycellar for profit?

 

[GottaTickemAll]

Still debating buying the $100 bottle?

 

[JulianB1]

Anyone inside the bar right now? Hoping to hear about how a certain someone is whining to the staff to let him buy a bottle.

$70 tax write-off

I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Write off for Churchill's sure, but you won't get it.

 

[evilc]

I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Write off for Churchill's sure, but you won't get it.

Churchill's can't write it off. It's money in money out to the charity - they are just an intermediary. He charged over and above the stated retail price therefore cannot justify it as a charitable give.

 

[StarRaptor1]

It's light out! Where are my pictures!

 

[evilc]

It's light out! Where are my pictures!

These people talk a big game about posting pics and then don't. I have blue balls.

Get a better tax guy then

Presumably they'll be writing one lump sum check to the Humane Society for it though right?
