Found this while looking for a Glass.

I promise to make a proper introduction soon. I am not sure if Ebay will leave it up, Since he claims the bottle is full....
Derrick
I saw this last night.

I’ve had a decent offer from a European dealer of Absinth and vintage bottles.

Hmm...Oxy maybe?

It's generally considered bad form to post about active ebay auctions, particularly as your first post.

"We have this on consignment and the owner wants it offered on here and to the highest bidder."

Are you the person consigning it?

Nah, just found it odd that Ebay has allowed it to stay up.They a policy against selling alcohol. At least I beleive they do.

Sorry really didnt mean to make a fopa with my first post. It will not happen again. I cant seem to edit the that posting .

Alcohol is sold everyday on eBay .. But it's not the alcohol that is being sold, it's the "collectible bottle", that just so incidentally happens to have alcohol in it that is NOT intended for consumption.

I buy beer all the time on eBay and have never had an issue, though they basically look past it, but they know exactly what is going on.

Well if the ATF doesn't care about the flagrant alcohol sales on eBay, it almost makes you wonder why HG is such a hush-hush topic, eh? dev-1.gif

As long as taxes are being paid somewhere along the way, Big B won't stir, I suppose...
Derrick
The listing has been removed. They did not follow eBay guidelines for selling alcohol.
Gwydion Stone
They always do... if the item is reported.

What was it a bottle of? some old Pernod?
sbmac
The item has been relisted...different wording. Something about buying the bottle for a paperweight or doorstop.

So what say the experts about this bottle??

As I mentioned in the other thread, there's not nearly enough information to say it's authentic. From what I can see though, doesn't get my hopes up.
