Whisky is Coming!

^^^ this is why cops get pistol whipped and killed by their own side arms and why I laugh when it happens.

This is why stupid and ignorant fools are easily separated from their money;

A rather ordinary Cardhu with a popular TV series inspired printed label on it...$100.



A rather ordinary Cardhu from Dan Murphy's...$75.



I have a rather nice bridge in Melbourne's west you might be interested in buying. I'll put a "Game of Thrones" sticker on it for you.

Put a cheapass sticker on the bottle, and pay $100.



I think people would pay $10 for a roll of Game of Thrones toilet paper...for when you're on the Iron Throne...

I guess you missed out.  ac_hithere



Selling at 1,045.00 more than the purchase price within two weeks and that's without the White Walkers Blend included.



How much in 6 months or 6 years is anyone's guess. Some of the single bottles are being flogged for 200-300 on their own already.

[Bricktop]

Allow me to teach you something about Ebay.



$1845 is not the "selling" price.



It's the ASKING price.



If some muppet wishes to prove he or she is even dumber than the original purchaser by paying a stupid amount of money for average whisky, they are simply affirming PT Barnum's observation of humanity.



Let's see how much it sells for.

They're also being flogged for 2k+ in USD and other foreign currencies. I picked a middle of the road estimate after reviewing some of the individual price asks compared to the major distributors still selling online and a couple I saw Costco had on my last visit.



The prices will undoubtedly climb as this range gets raided by their owners over time.



Merchandisssssssing!



Had you swallowed your whisky ego you might have got in early enough.  ac_biggrin

[Bricktop]

I do not collect bottles and labels.



I collect whisky. I leave gimmick whiskies to the ignorant.



Knock yourself out...but I doubt those prices will hold.

[Frood]

We'll see if they hold if not steadily climb.



When I originally looked into it and weighed up whether the cost, premiums for the packaging, et cetera, were worth it, I found it useful to consider the more likely demographic targeted. That being of course fans but their socio-economic backgrounds as well. Binge watchers can't say stop and I suspect that will also play out with the contents of those bottles. There will be a lot of empty bottles decoratively arranged in dens, pool rooms, and mini bars in the future.



Not so many still sealed or in a set.

[Bricktop]

Sure.



Because unlike every other gimmick whisky, wine, beer and other consumables, this one will prove to be truly valuable. :001_rolleyes:



Knock yourself out.

[Frood]

Don't be angry about missing out, princess.
