Message: [QUOTE="Northbound, post: 4697956, member: 155"] So I've got stuff from the mid-90's before all this became a thing - Sotheby's is probably the place for me - prices are all over the map - I've seen some stuff I have listed for $15K and then the same bottle $5K - the adage "it's worth what someone will pay for it" is never more true than in spirits. Without looking I know I've got things like: -Taylor Tornado Surviving -Taylor BP's -Original Black Maple Hill 21 and 16 -Plenty of PHC's -A slew of old BTAC including the Hazmat stuff -Old bottle style ECBP I toss all the sleeves, I don't need them, but I know that collectors want them so that'll hurt the price a bit. If I had someone to drink them with, I'd hold and drink them, but there's plenty of very good juice on the market and honestly, my palate isn't refined enough to pick out nuances - my reviews are usually - I like it, it's passable, or hard pass - so why not make some coin on some of the stuff I bought ages ago. The BTAC was bought at Riverside Red X in Parkville, MO in the late 90's early 00's, the Black Maple Hill was bought at Lanell's in Brooklyn in the mid 00's, the ECBP in Utica, NY like 12 years ago, etc. etc. I think it would be the hardest to part with the old bottles of ECBP they are incredible to me. I've been adamant about not selling, keep telling my wife I didn't buy to sell, I bought to drink, but maybe it's time. [/QUOTE]
