If by cost you mean he has to drink them then by all means punish me too!!

Thank you! And it will have to be 3 Tom Moores cause we don't get VOB here. I'm also going to bourbon mass tomorrow in Houston.

I love how topics on this board seem to get off topic rather quickly. :stickpoke:

Okay, on topic:

I guess it all depends on where they put the price tag. I mean, if they put it on the wrong place on my Dickel, how can I be sure I'm getting Old No 12 Brand? I could be getting Old No 4 Brand, or Old No 73 Brand, or even (shudder) the accursed Old No 27 Brand! :bigeyes:

i would be quite annoyed with a misplaced price tag. most places around here have it listed on the shelves. but there is one place that writes the price on the bottles with a wax crayon or market or something. slightly annoying, but easy enough to wash off.

It is not what the product cost the retailer plus the mark up, it is what it will cost the retailer to replace the bottle + his mark up, at the time of the sale, that determines the correct pricing.

Pealing the newer price sticker off is like theft.

If I bought gas out of your fuel barrel, would you charge me what you paid for it this spring (when fuel prices were lower) or what it will cost you to replace it?

On more than one occasion I've purchased bourbon that was incorrectly priced. If I saw some thing on a shelf that I wanted and knew was incorrectly priced I was purchase one and if it scanned true to the marked price I'd ask for another. If it scanned at the correct higher price I'd ask for the advertised price. I have yet to get a merchant to take my offer. Then I decide if I want it.

When a merchant has something that I want at more that the state controlled minimum I'd ask for the minimum price even if I'd pay the state price. Most of the time I say the difference. Mostly I do that for sport. I don't mind if a merchant charges more but I really hate it when they advertise that they charge the minimum price but mark the prices of on their better products. I won't buy from them.

Now about the price tags, alcohol pads work great for removing the sticker glue without damaging the label but you must be careful.

You forgot about inflation, which is particularly necessary to involve when we're talking about dusties from 30 years ago. The 20 dollars it was retailing at then is not going to cover the cost of what it is now.

[ErichPryde]

You are right, but when I wrote the post I wasn't thinking of dusties. I was centering on Chuck"s post up thread : "I'm not talking about the original subject of the thread, which is geeky and kind of cute. I'm talking about the people who think it's wrong for retailers to increase prices on merchandise that's already on the shelf, which is an appropriate and normal business practice." I was so shocked that Chuck agrees with me, or I should say, I agree with him, I didn't make myself as clear as I should have.

There is a place in Louisville I wish would put price stickers on the label. Instead they have NO prices listed, not on the bottle or the shelf.

I guess they do have prices on the shelf, but they are all random and incorrect. JRPS for $59.99? I couldn't believe it! Nope that's $95.99. BMH Rye 23 Year for $79.99? Oh sorry, that $139.99. It's maddening.

Having worked in different retail for a while, I hate stickers on product, period. Not only is it just a waste of time, especially when price changes come through, but it always leads to problems with people pulling off tags and putting them on more expensive items, or items not getting re stickered during price changes. It is just a whole lot easier and more cost effective to have the prices on the shelves- much easier to maintain pricing accuracy when you only have to change one or two pricing signs than 100.

It just doesn't make sense to put a sticker on in such a way that it damages a potentially collectible item, but I've seen it happen enough to hate the practice as well. I think the thing is that people in many liquor stores just don't realize that some people aren't buying just to get sauced. :puke: I've noticed that in stores that do carry higher end wines, they don't seem to use price tags though.

Well we all have done stupid things when we were younger. And I didn't change the price, my curiosity just got the best of me and I wanted to see what the price used to be. It was at that point I decided the guy was a crook and decided to buck the system. If that's the worst thing I do in my life, then I'm pretty sure I can still hold my head high when I walk through those pearly gates!
