Hi to all!
Yes, I got into a pretty good score this time around without even getting my hands dirty. Well a little dirty... But, for the most part I picked up about 150 bottles of all shapes, sizes and years just for a milk crate or 2 worth of really good ones and the guys who had them didn't let them go too cheaply. I did make sure they were happy with my first offer because I didn't want them feeling like I tried to get one over on them.
I would really like to keep all of these bottles but I already have a good amount just sitting in boxes collecting dust, waiting to get broken and some of these pieces deserve better than that. I'm sure most of you will agree. Plus, when I told a friend of mine what I paid for them my wife overheard and needless to say, I'm in hot water!
I asked Jay "Conch Times" to put them up here to see if anyone is interested and to make sure they go to a Good Collector's home.
Plus, Judging by how many posts he's put up in the past year and a half (Almost 1300) he basically lives on this site. Jay also sells & ships out a lot of bottles so I'm confident he can handle this.
I asked him to accept private messages with bid amounts until Sunday evening @ 7:00PM. He will post the standing bid as it changes till 6:59:59PM. The person(s) with the winning bid for each piece will get the bottle. But, please make sure to state which bottle you are bidding on.
PLEASE CONTACT CONCHTIMES IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THESE BOTTLES as I will be out of town and out of contact this weekend.
I am not putting a reserve on any bottles other than the opening bid amounts.
Start @ $125.00 for Black Squat Cylinder.
Start @ $200.00 for the 2 litre Green Mini Demijon.
Thank You all for the interest and keep in mind that at some point, one of Key West's many famous characters my have drank from either of these pieces...
