A buddy of mine has about 300 diffrent bottles of wine left over from when he used to own a restaurant, some worth quite a bit. I looked into ebay for him, but apparently you need to have special licenses and there are several shipping restrictions. Anyone have any experience in this?

Don't sell the wine on e-bay, sell the collectable bottles. Just happen to be unopened.

He could always sell them at auction. Not sure if the major auction companies still sell of wine but I know that they used to: Chirstie's, Sotherby's, etc.

That's always a debatable point.

Tell him to go by Calandros Perkins and Mathernes Perkins and talk to those guys. I doubt if they will buy them but they know a lot of people with private collections and should be able to point him in the right direction.

It will always depend on the wine.

If he is in Baton Rouge, have him contact Martin Wine Cellar. I'm pretty sure they can help with something like this.
