Dry January is exactly why we’re holding the Indy offline on February 1st! (Good job today!)
Agreed. Another good one from 3-4 years ago was the beef jerky. Thought I bought enough to last awhile until it landed at my house. It didn’t take long at all to bust through that!
I loved that jerky, it was amazing. I hope every year she comes back with it.
Yeah, it was good. It was a friend of Todd’s wife IIRC
Just cause I’ve searched and haven’t found it…is there any repository for the names of the winners of the raffles?

Devil’s advocate: how does this line of thinking apply to potato chips?
Same as other repeat sellers I’d imagine. Some made it, some didn’t.
She needs to be back. It was awesome. @ToddFrench talk to your wife.
Dick’s isn’t a chip company though. It’s a CIA op

I think the noon start didn’t give them their due. It would be better to kick them off 1st, even if it was only the 1/2 hour. By the time they launched, 2 day fatigue was setting in, 3 pm out east is right in the tough part of the workday, credit cards have been lit up.
And since most are not Berserker Businesses, no preview day purchases, so they get squeezed out.

I like the sprinkling throughout idea for the newbies… but would like to see them specially highlighted (beyond an all-caps “NEWBIE” 
if so. Maybe do one or two each 30-minutes?

He said they didn’t make it because most WBs have access to quality (and perhaps local) cheese and coffee. Could that not be said of potato chips?
On the other hand, if you kick them off 1st, people might be more restrained with their buy-it-now button. So that would be an unfair position as well.
Just like Taylor Swift…
High quality potato chips, especially with fun branding, are not that common.
I think they should split wine and non-wine BDs.

Another comment re. the offers. And again, this is just my humble opinion and might be 100% BS. This especially goes to some Newbies.
When you post the offer, if the offer isn’t brief and concise, there is a good chance I won’t even click on that link. I love reading the stories and that’s eventually what I buy, but I need to be drawn into that story by the offer first.
Also, if the offer isn’t “berserk”, I likely won’t click on it either.
Now, I am not saying you should sell your wine at a loss, but if I have never heard of you, there is very short attention span during this day that I can give your winery, and if your offer is $10 off retail per bottle, I likely won’t spend much of that attention span at that offer as I will go to the next one that says -40%.

Fun branding? 
Yes. But I don’t think that’s the point.
You could argue that most people have access to quality beef, or charcuterie, both offered.
They had to make a cut somewhere, I guess that’s where they did it.

Which is 100% fair. That’s why I thought the reasoning was specious.
