in 25
out 40 (helps to be off a lot in November and not traveling for work)
Net -15 (I’ll do better in December)
net minus 14 for the month, this month’s excuses were Marcassin out of the blue (and a trip to Paso)
YTD -61
I’m just going to send some things to winebid
4 out, 0 in. Woulda been more except for a nasty chest and head cold that started on the 23rd, and is still producing unpleasantness.
Why?
To profit?
To make more space?
To get rid of things you no longer like?
I have been successful with #2 (temporarily!) and #3 at Winebid. Unless you have rare and highly sought after stuff, you won’t make much selling there. I recently sent a list of Oregon and Italian wines purchased pre-pandemic for appraisal. The reserve prices were below my purchase price by up to 50%. Add on seller’s commission and I was going to take a huge bath. Example: Purchased at $50, reserve at $25, commission at $10, $15 to me. I decided to send some to charity auction instead as that made me feel better about the whole thing.
2 and 3. I’m not gutting my collection. I just feel like my tastes for some things have shifted a bit and I want to get some of these things out of my house.
I also want to have less inventory overall since I don’t drink as much. I really just have wine to drink with dinner on weekends and open for special events and meals so I don’t need quite as much as I own.
Another decent month:
In 16
Out 10
december will be the game changer for the year - going to organize a wine tasting next weekend, plus christmas holiday wines…
Well…welcome to WB and the too much wine club!
Haha. The never-ending struggle
. . . Or the fine line between want and need
