Looks like you have never shipped bottles either.. I just shipped on bottle to CA and it was $22. Now take all the care and materials to insure it gets there unbroken. AS for europe will will cost you $41 for 1 and 12.5 per for a case. I suggest you just walk away now..

You are doing something wrong then. Try FedEx Ground, its a lot cheaper than UPS. Also, try bottle shippers, they are more secure and cut down on a lot of the bulk and weight. Surely you want all your customers getting their $1k bottles of 23 to think that you actually know what you are doing, don't you?
As to your other post, there have been a handful of sales on eBay, but not enough to make a "market." The simple fact that you keep dancing around is that I told you exactly where to find Pappy for much cheaper than the bullshit prices you keep quoting and you keep ignoring it. Also, the rye came out this year. I passed on a bottle last night and Chuck Cowdery was reported exactly what was being released for the fall: [url=http://www.whiskyadvocateblog.com/2012/06/11/what]http://www.whiskyadvocateblog.com/2012/06/11/what[/url]’s-in-that-bottle-of-van-winkle-anyway/
Regarding your scotch collection, I'm dubious of your claim. You seem to have poor taste and strike me as rather foolish with your spending. If you have anything at all, it probably comes in flashy packaging. When you find a few sherried 1970s Ardbegs, 1960 Springbanks and some of the early PEs we can start talking scotch.
