Selling (or swapping) vintage port

Does anyone know anything about selling vintage port? I've got some port that was put down when I was born, but it would be wasted on me as not a big fan.

Or would anyone like to swap for some nice whisky?

1984 LBV cockburn, delaforce and a quinta dos malbedos

With the caveat of 'yay, STW search' I am certain that question has been asked before. Have a rummage through the back catalogue maybe?

Sorry to disappoint but...LBV and the Malbedos are not vintage port; if the Delaforce is 1984 that won't be vintage port either as the port houses didn't 'make a declaration' for that year which means the wines weren't of a high enough quality to be declared good enough to be a vintage.
If the bottles have been carefully stored - definitely stable cool temperature & in low light/dark - they may still be drinkable; variable temperature is a real killer.

Thanks! On closer inspection one of them is a tawny port, which says to drink within a year! Grim!
