Wine

This is prolly an "off the wall" question, but where can I sell a bottle of wine?

I have a vintage bottle of wine, worth about $500 and I don't want it or need it. I'll never drink it b/c it's red wine. Where can I sell it?? I've checked a few pawn shops, but they thought I was nuts. LOL

ebay

I wish I could. But here's eBay's policy:

Attention Sellers:

Please go back and choose another category

Generally, the sale of wine on eBay is prohibited. However, we are allowing a small list of licensed and vetted sellers to participate in the sale of wine within a controlled environment on the site.

i'd try a wine forum. bet there are wine clubs in your area and someone with cash who'd want it.

Have you asked a local merchant? In the UK it's called an "off-license"; I don't know what it's called there, but they specialise in selling wine and spirits. If there's one with a good stock of wines, you may find he wants to buy it from you to resell. You wouldn't get the full value, because he would want to take a cut for himself, but they would give you a better deal than a pawn shop I woudl think.

Otherwise, the little Facebook buy/sell groups are popping up everywhere, perhaps there's one for your locality where you could sell it? Do you know the types of groups I mean? There is one for Gibraltar, and someone was selling a bottle of Cristal last week. Always worth a try...

Craigslist?

I would say that the above are the best suggestions but I am not sure how much luck you will have. I personally would not buy wine and any form of liquid from a random person. You never know what you are going to get.

Good Luck!

Sara you have a point. Once someone came round to my apartment (when I was living in England still) and he had a few bottles with him on a tray. He said he was conducting market research on a new brand of vodka, and please could I try it? I said no, and then he asked if I would try the wine instead.

Like I'm going to take a random drink off a guy knocking on my door. It could have been anything.

Found this. Hope it helps.

It says there is a website called.... http://www.winebid.com/

It's the world's premier internet auction site for fine and rare wines.

In the first link it looks like there are links to take you to a site to find out how much it is worth.

Thanks girls! I wouldn.t but wine like that either,or taste it, but I know in order to sell it at vintage price, it has to still have the oiginal metal seal on it & still intact, which this bottle does. When I'm not on my phone, I'll post a photo & info about it.
