I am owning it, hence my previous post. I drink most of what I get. Just because I don't post a picture every time I pour a glass doesn't mean that I don't enjoy the bottles that I get. I'm just too lazy to take a picture, post it to a hosting site, then link the picture in this forum. I may trade things to get bottles that I really want but we all do that whether in person or on FB. There was only 1 bottle that I sold last fall for monetary gain and that was a VWFRR that I sold because I lost my job in November and needed a cash infusion for Christmas. Other than that I am trying to make what I have last until next Fall.
To label me the "resident BR bottle flipper" is unfair and innacurate. I do not have any connections at the distributor and no one tips me off when things are getting released. I was buying Van Winkle off the shelf in BR before many of you had ever heard of Pappy Van Winkle.
I don't expect to make anyone else happy. Everyone here is free to out hustle and out smart me and beat me to these bottles. Then you can do what you want with them and I will be stuck drinking daily sippers like Weller 12, Eagle Rare 10, Blanton's, and EH Taylor Single Barrel which wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I dislike everything about the secondary market. It has become a ridiculous joke. At its worst, it is driven by greed and profiteering. I think any activity that takes bottles off of retail shelves and inserts them into that system is contributing to the problem. But that's just my opinion. One bottle or a dozen, trade or sell, it's all the same to me. I wish it would stop.

Maybe so, but stalking stores and then turning around and putting the bottles on facebook is going to get you that label from alot of people.
If you dont care then frick it, but when people see that, they will immediately think "flipper".
