$1050 for a 3 pack/$350 bottle was the 2015 vintage
Last year (2016 vintage @ $400/bottle) was $1,200 + $93 tax + $41 CA shipping, totaled $1,334 for 1 delivered 3 pack.
Good to hear that… my importer here in Europe sold it for $475 incl. taxes/shipping (vs the $445 incl. taxes/shipping mailing list price). I thought the difference would have been bigger or said the other way round: I thought my importer takes a far bigger margin.
I do wonder what a retailer gets it for overseas. A friend is gets it for well under $1k for a 3 pack with his retail license and then resells it at his shop.
I feel kind of bad since my allocation isn’t until next Tuesday and I have been on the list for some time and have always bought three bottles as well as the M. Etian. I thought it was interesting in my notice that they said failure to participate would push someone to the end of the waitlist.
Haven’t seen an offer letter from Scarecrow yet but I did get their email about the offer coming. I guess they send them out in waves. Since I have only been on the list for 2 years I want to stock up for several more more years especially with a great 2018 vintage coming next year.
Good to know. I always thought that they would give a retailer about 25% margin. i.e. 900 instead of 1200 for a three pack (or in earlier years, when it was cheaper even lower). I guess that sums up with your friend getting it for below 1k.
