I will offer $250 for this cognac, shipping within USA.
Hi Michael,
Sorry to be delayed as I didn’t get a notification of your post.
I was thinking closer to $500 so would like to wait for other offers.
Thanks
John
No problem, I can wait. I cannot pay more than what I offered, that is top $ for that cognac.
John, i am sorry to say this but on U.S market in a private sale it will be near impossible to sell this bottle for more then $250 unless it is sold at an Asian auction and after auction fee’s you will be left with maybe a fraction more but 1st the bottle has to be in Asia and that can be tricky. I purchased many of the Otard 20 and 30 year old vsop in the past and have never paid that much for any of the bottles. so at $250 i am not even going to try for this one myself and frankly speaking don’t believe there is a need to wait for a higher bid but that is defiantly up to you.
Roman,
Not being a true connoisseur of “fine” cognacs I’m a bit out of my element so have had to research as best I can to get a ball park feel for values.
With the feed back I’ve gotten I will certainly lower my expectations accordingly.
Appreciate the input!
You are welcome John. often times research of the value is based on asking price of an overpriced retailer or a sold price at an auction with out deducting the fee that is also charged to the seller and is not reflected on the price shown (price includes premiums) which can add up to as much as 40 per cent and will very by markets with U.S being at the lower end of the spectrum of the price table and Asian market being at the top. Hope this helps in your research.
OK Michael,if you’re still interested,I’ll accept your offer and am awaiting instructions on how to proceed.
Hi John,
You need to contact Sebastian in order for the sale to proceed.
