Not MBC but same kind of idea. I signed up for Blackwell's newsletter because I was interested in RR beers but stayed on the list for the lulz.

Wow! A store charging even higher than the secondary market!

That place? I don't have even close to enough patience to look back to the postings, but Arbitrator, have you been kicked out of this store yet? If the answer is "no", I think you are thinking what I am thinking. Please start a thread once finished.

 

[crawfordesquire]

this is an interesting package, price seems to reflect what it would cost if you tried to snatch these individually. maybe priced a little high:

Yes, they also had bottles of Westvleteren 12 recently for the low, low price of $30 each. If they're actually selling this stuff at those prices they must be Etre's biggest customer.

They wouldn't be the only store in the Bay Area doing that.

 

[LukeAleTime]

They were going for $45 here in Australia.

Including shipping, a case will cost less than $30 per bottle from BIAB; Plus you get the wooden crate.. People seemed to get annoyed when I pointed that out.

$199 for a 2011 Zwanze Day glass.

Has to be the lowest rated beers I've ever seen for sale on MBC. You couldn't pay me $100 to drink these.

For $200 you would think he would at least toss in free shipping.

He's pretty sure they've been ageing since like 2010 or some **** like that.

isn't that cheaper than retail?

 

[harrymel1]

Pulled over $400 in sales this week at MBC. This is how I convert all my domestic, over the hill beer, into lambic and fantome.

Love it.

From what I understand that's just what it goes for.

"There are roughly 10 bottles of this beer left in the world"

Lol is the seller Alan Sprints?

 

[LawIsTheUT]

If somebody really wanted to buy it last year, they probably could have put up the $2k then

 

[kscaldef]

yes, but it was obviously underpriced given that they sold as fast as they could ring people up, and most of the bottles were gopickitupformebro'ed at $2.5k.

 

[cneville1]

is there ever apprehension about the actual shipping of a bottle like that? say UPS opens the box and destroys the contents, as they violate UPS's TOS or whatever. is there any (legally enforceable) way for the buyer to recoup their money? tagging GrumpyOldTroll and Joel66 because they can probably answer this.

I have a feeling that a crazy expensive sale would be done in person.

Haha, I am 99% sure there are considerably more than 10 bottles of Dave left in the world.

Rule #1, dont ship these bottles via UPS... Fedex only.
Rule #2, ship next day air
Rule #3, create a label with a business account and ship to a business address. From my experience their is much less incidents when delivering to and froma company.

A lot of sours might qualify for fancy Vinegar.

Is this just anecdotal that Fedex is less likely to cause trouble, or is there some specific reason for this rule?

Was Dave that hot a commodity before the White Whale list of 2012?
