as seen on ebay #31

The odd bottle photo in this article has been supplied by Peter Bonkovich with the Austalian bottle photos
supplied by Neil Atkinson, you can blame me for the rest. As Seen on Ebay never has been completely correct
as we have always included bottles from other auction sorces including Trademe and WhiskyAuction
http://www.whiskyauction.com/ (Germany). Many of the bottles in this article are from a new auction site,
Whisky.Auction, https://whisky.auction/ This is based in the UK and has a name that is bound to cause
confusion due to it’s similarity to the well established (1997) German site. I hate to think of the legal
complications! I understand that the late David
Maund’s collection will be sold on this site.

We will start with some crazily priced Australian
bottles. Bottles with a Bundaberg connection always
fetch good money in Australia but for some reason
even wines seem to sell for many times more than
they would here or anywhere else I know of. These
three wines twice failed to sell when offered at a
minimum bid of A$29.95 but sold when offred at A$19.95

The two Frangos liqueur bottles (Royal Rum & Apricot Brandy) sold for
A$380.75 after 11 bids. At today’s exchange rate that’s NZ$410 or US$291!

The pistol is actually
8 fl.oz. but I have
seen this, or ones
like it, in many
collections. This is
empty but was filled with Bundaberg Royal Liqueur.
This had a minimum bid of A$500 and after 16 bids
sold for A$1025

The final Australian bottle we have to show you was
sold on Ebay but in this case Ebay Spain not Ebay
Australia. After 21 bids this Sullivan’s Cove single
malt in a wooden box sold for €102.50

Lastly on this page we have the Schweppes miniature soda siphon. This was sold on
Trademe for $230 – probably a bargain.
