I have a large collection of miniature bottles, nearly all sealed and full of what it says on the labels. I want to sell them but Ebay forbids the sale of alcohol as I’m sure many other selling sites will. Is there anywhere I can legally sell these on, or is it a no-no. Some of them were bought as mementos or from gift shops, which I’m sure are not lisenced to sell liquor.
Drinking them is not an option (for me).

Any advice appreciated.

sell them at £4 a pop outside the school gates?

Make advent calendars out of them?

Facebook groups?

You won’t get many chocolates in a miniature bottle 🙄

I didnt intend this as a crafty punt, you know!
I like the school gates idea, desperate teachers eh?

Ebay forbids the sale of alcohol

Sell the bottles, contents included. That’s what other people seem to do when I looked at eBay for selling a bottle of bollinger.

Edit: maybe the rules have changed on ebay as there’s plenty on sale on the ‘beers, wines, spirits’ section.

You need an alcohol license to sell alcohol.

Yeah, Thought that too..

Could you not donate them?

Or just drink them over Xssshmashhh 😳

Sell a picture of the bottle with a free gift 😉

Christmas presents for the unsuspecting ?

Play chess with them.

In theory you need a personal license to sell alcohol. It wouldn’t stop there though as you would need to apply for a premises licence for wherever you would be storing them.

Just drink them or give them away as Christmas presents

Edit after re-reading the op; if you can’t drink them, find somebody who can. The gift shops must have a premises licence to sell alcohol, not a difficult thing to do. Think about how many corner shops there are, all need a premises licence and a DPS.

Many thanks for those who posted useful advice.

I like the “nearly” in there.

Adds a frisson of danger to the cheeky snifter.
Is this a small bottle of Baileys Irish Cream before me, or Brasso?

Do you feel you’ve got a lot of value tied up in them that you need to recoup by selling or do you just need to find a good home for them? Given the time of year they’d make a good donation as a raffle prize.

(although the ‘nearly’ does make it more of a Russian Roulette kind of gamble!)

They were a collection of my late fathers, which he acquired over the years. He would normally only keep full sealed ones-unless the bottle was rare or unusual. Some have lost some of the contents over the years,(still sealed, but don’t look full), a very small number have been opened, and I would say the contents undrinkable. The bottles may be of interest though, I guess, to a collector.

Maybe I’ll keep them and get them out when the family or friends come round – somebody may fancy a snifter !

are they worth punting to an auction site – I’m looking at Whisky Auctioneer for some bottles that have been sitting around for a while and I’m now afraid to drink – I’d rather cash them in and buy stuff to drink!

I’m trying and failing to keep a straight face in the office here, thanks for that.
