Auction Watch

[Raven]

The label on the 7 year old could be older than that as I'm not sure if
'By Appointment to the King' was still being used on labels coming out
of Dublin in the 30's or 40's

I rang to see if the Midleton went. It didn't meet its reserve. I don't know what the others made.

I seen this earlier and was curious, I'd have some reservations when I see the cork floating on the top.

I was doing a quick ebay search and noticed someone selling their old and dirty Jameson wax jacket.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jameson-Irish ... 25794d1281

Auction starts at £0.01 but international postage is £500 ,
but there's a reason for this and I quote,

Postage and Packaging.
Unfortunately we are not allowed by our landlord to sell small items from our door.Our nearest post office for posting is over 2 miles away , meaning a 4 mile return journey taking up to 30 minutes by car depending on traffic and then there is car parking to be paid for as well.There is also the time involved in placing the advert,responding to enquiries and packaging the item for safe delivery.Unfortunately i have had to change to a more expensive courier due to an item being broken by my previous courier.This new courier practically garauntees safe delivery but the downside is that they are way more expensive.There is also a .25 p charge per item towards the cost of taking out an insurance policy which covers us for losses caused by for fraudulent buyers. So when we decide the postage and packaging costs we also have to factor in these costs as well.Not to mention the large charges that ebay and paypal impose .When you add all these costs together other people make more money from the sale of the item than i do.When you take all this in to account i find that £4.00 to cover all these costs to be quite reasonable for mainland UK destinations.For non UK destinations i just picked £500 to cover all the other countries in the world.If you are from outside the UK and are interested in bidding on the item,please contact us before you start bidding and we will give you an accurate price for postage to your country.
Please Please read our advert carefully.

I had a good cry after reading about how hard they have it.

An appreciating classic?

A real surprise. I guess they're worth more than I thought.

Probably good value as it's €120 here to my knowledge.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

There's some real gems in this months auction,

Here's a sample

Wm. Cadenhead , Bow Street Distillery.
This is the one the couldn't spell Jameson's correctly on, but a collector all the same.

Hennessy Na-Geanna ,
A similar one to this went for €500+ the last time it was available.

Old Comber 30 year old.

to name but a few.

I think it sold for a penny. Missed out there Z.

Has anyone noticed there are very few bottles for sale on eBay lately!
Is this a coincidence or has there been some changes in regulations?

I know some sellers have had problems with their listings one chap was trying to sell a couple old bottles of 1780 and had a fight with ebay. They were listed and taken down twice in DEC.

[varizoltan]

jan and feb usually very quiet on ebay for whiskey

there was no ardbeg for sale on ebay.co.uk yesterday

[JohnM]

New rules on ebay. Bottles now have to be over 20 years to sell now. Bottled over 20 years ago, that is. Different rules for the europe though.

Hmm. I won the Hennessy. Sure I didn't even want it. And I won an Old Potrero too.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I've made that mistake one or twice. I never know why I do it. I have got good restraint in the last few years. I have my max and stick to it.
I had an early bid of €175 on the Hennessy and was out bid early enough. I have one but another one always looks better.
