If you don’t remember, I paid $10 for this bottle of rye from 1964.
I sent it to Unicorn Auctions, where it ends tonight. Best thing, they only charge $5 + 5%. There is a 15% buyer’s fee.

The fact that someone actually big $810 on that is comical.

I hope it ships well, plan on chugging it out of a set of Depression-era Federal uranium glassware I have.

Where did this rye reside from before 1918 until it was bottled in 1964?

For all the naysayers, let’s check back on this particular item five years from now.

It will be worth significantly more than $800 by then.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching the Bourbon bandit on the Heist series on Netflix. I had no idea people were paying that much for mediocre bourbon.

I just registered for the site.

I just missed out in bidding on a Yamazaki 18 year bottle at $550. They normally go for >$1,000 in stores here in Georgia.

This may replace the FB betting sites I used in the past.

I had a six pack of Shiner Bock in the fridge for over a year. Would it be worth anything?
