I have some booze that is quite valuable (not mega), anyone know where / to whom I can sell it? If you could avoid making tedious jokes about sending it to you that would be great. I have tried Whisky exchange but after 5-6 attempts they never bothered coming back to me.

One of these retailing for £150

Two of these retailing for £145 each

Three of these retailing for £51.50 each

And a couple of other bottles Champagne

So retail price of £700 roughly. eBay = no booze. Any ideas? And what can I expect for them?

I reckon next to nothing for the wine.



I think your best bet is to find someone you know who you think could be interested and see if they will buy for half price or something and give them a money back guarantee if it is off.

Agreed.

The champagne - will depend on how it's been stored, but those bottles are nowhere ear special enough to warrant anyone risking remotely close to the prices you think they'e worth.

If you go to a wedding or special occasion, give them a gift.

The whisky's a bit easier as it's harder to mess up. But I suspect you should take the £50 offer above.

Drank 2 of the champers with friends on Saturday, bloody delicious and way nicer than non-vintage. I don't know why that surprises me really

Not really tempted to sell the Glenfiddich for £50 but thanks for the offer. I'd only buy a normal malt for myself for say £30 and I might as well enjoy drinking it than pocket £20

So it seems that stuff like this falls into the middle ground of being a bit more special than standard booze but nowhere near interesting enough to be worth selling.
