[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 214895, member: 30"]Your quote is spot on, AF, thank you. This has been my same experience in the states. I used to strive to pay 10% (or less) for each item I planned to sell (unless I was certain by experience with selling the item quickly and then I might have paid 30-40%). In summary: I take it you have nearly a thousand empty bottles on 2 pallets, so with this bulk, your bottles would be worth 10% (or less) of their anticipated retail value to most dealers. I think if you expect 5-figures for the lot, you'd be better off listing one a week on auction format on ebay (plus shipping). After you saturate the market with those bidding wars and bidders become savvy to the fact that you apparently have MORE, you can settle into a BIN on ebay with the bottles. Also, I don't know if beer BOTTLES are as collectible as the cans used to be? Anyone know?[/QUOTE]
