I don't think the American Dream necessarily involves buying and reselling things at a profit. Plenty of us make our living by producing things that have value. Plenty of us make our living by providing a service.

I especially don't think the American Dream is reselling overvalued luxury items on the black market.

A couple of points:

1 - Here you have a case where you have a willing seller and a willing buyer. What's all the fuss about? It's ok for me to sell ibuypappy.com Jose my gun, my knife, my flame thrower but heaven forbid I try to sell him a bottle of whiskey? Hell he can stop at any roadside lollapalooza store and buy 24" dildos. Don't tell me that ain't dangerous! It's illegal .. in the good ole USA .. because a bunch of politicians back in another century decided to ... well ... decided to what??

2 - ibuypappy.com Jose turns around and sells this stuff at unfrickinbelievable prices to the hedge fun operators of the NY Financial District and I'm supposed to frown on that? Heck .. if he refilled them with urine samples and sold them to those American-Dream-Selling-Blood-Suckers it wouldn't bother me. Those guys could care less what they pay for a bottle .. it's all about spreading around there ill-gotten ... anyway .. you get the picture.

You go, Jose! If you have some empties you want to sell those guys ... send them down my way. I'll pay for the shipping.

ibuypappy claimed that some of the posters in this thread have had dealings with him. I'd like to hear from some of them regarding what the experience was like. Do they feel like they got a good price and everything went smoothly? Any problems?

Don't know anybody who has sold to him, but send him an email - he responds promptly with what he'll pay and offers references. I sent him an email early on to see what he was buying and selling for (he said he didn't by VWFRR because "nobody wanted it" - which tells you who his clientele are: braindead idjuts, or just plain old douchebags. Who the $&%&$# doesn't LUST after VWFRR?).

I don't blame anybody cashing in - it's tempting. I don't blame ibuypappy guy either - but why can't there be an "I sell Bowman Rye" or "Get your ND OGD114 Here" site? THEN I'd be interested...

There's vastly superior pours that come far cheaper. (said while finishing a pour of OGD114 & refilling with some 4R single barrel with a sigh of contentment).

This is just a result of the trendy, hipster bourbon phase the country is in - same bastards are buying Miss Me jeans for their kids and shop at A&F between visits to the Genius Bar.

(OH SNAP: What if the Genius Bar served Pappy? Hipster explosion!!!)

Thankfully, with hipsters, shit like this comes & goes fast. Eager to get them out of the picture and not have to wrestle with these poseurs for my VWFRR each fall... Although I doubt the price will drop at any point...

My thoughts exactly. I couldn't have put it better myself. Thankfully trends like this come and go and once they do, I'll be around to enjoy it douche free.

You may have spoke to soon. He now has on the site that he will buy your rye. Ugh!

Yeah, it said that before, and also didn't list Pappy 15 (still doesn't... but again, somebody told me he "has too much" so not buying it for now)

When I emailed him to ask about it, he said "Yes I buy the 15 year, I don't buy the rye for some reason noone likes it."

Whatevs... I wonder if he can package his whiskey in "craftily" shaped PBR cans for wrapping, and then deliver on a Vespa while wearing Toms (and document the entire process on Vine) - and then charge even more?

The owner said that he had to disclose that the bottles were previously owned or "used", but I see no indication of that on the site. I seriously doubt he's going to willing tell the customer "hey, I bought that from an unknown source" after they plop down 10x retail.

He also has Old Rip Van Winkle and Lot B inaccurately labeled as Pappy.

I'm just glad he doesn't buy VWFRR. Everything else be damned.

Cosign that. I would take the VWFRR over any other pappy expressions.
