Yoni, it’s a GOOD sign when we have so many posts that I didn’t see a dupe, no?
I never said it was a bad sign just showing you the light!!
Interesting article. I wonder if anyone has the time or inclination to take a look (at the auctions) of some of the ebayers who buy these empty bottles and see if there is a trend? Like do they only buy first growth’s or is it a wide range of bottles? Same goes for the sellers?
I konw you can’t really track something like this and it’s all speculation, but it POSSIBLY could give you insight as to their real motives.
