EXPIRED Whisky worth 300 for 50 tomorrow

If you read the link, it's questionable that the whiskey is "worth" £300. It's not something you can buy anywhere else - no true price comparison available. It's from an unknown distillery.

If you want to buy someone a lovely whiskey, get them a bottle of Lagavulin 16 Year Old. Bottle costs about £40 and it's one that people genuinely rate well.

I thought you could not sell alcohol on ebay?

You can sell it if you list it as a collectable :eek:

You need to hope that your local licensing authority and police force don't look at ebay too - otherwise without licences (personal licence and a premises licence) it's up to six months in prison and up to £20000 fine for the illegal sale (the same penalty applies to exposing it for sale as well so you can end up in trouble for just placing the listing!).

I agree how can you tell its really worth £300?

As far as I know Glenbridge is Aldi's own brand whiskey.
If they only release these tomorrow, how come one is already on sale on eBay with a starting price of £50?

Not necessarily. You can sell if it is a collectible like this :http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/spencerfield_spirit_company/m.html?hash=item1c20f9eeef&item=120812334831&pt=UK_Collectables_Bottle_Pots_ET&_trksid=p4340.l2562

Not sure if Aldi's own brand whisky counts as a collectible though

eslick

they said the last lot didnt have a label on it so people might not have been able to sell it even as a collectable.

Overpriced and overhyped. There are some excellent Whiskys in the supermarkets at the moment at great prices.
Only for the rich and stupid - enjoy!
