[QUOTE="fastline, post: 214486, member: 4102"]Hello, I have a sizable lot of a rather rare beer bottle. Rare in the sense they were only made once, never distributed, and I own 95% of all that exist in the world. As I had hoped someone would be interested in owning the entire lot as a control play, I think I will have to consider giving them to a retailer to sell off individually or in 6 packs.
