312 Ltrs worth of carboys

[Aid]

This is an astonishing collection. 5 x 54ltr, 1 x 28ltr and 1 x 14ltr carboys, mostly in plastic carriers. The price is steep, but may not sell. This is in my home town and I can't go for it cos I can't store or practically use it

Same offer applies here as the last one with a caveat, I may not be able to get all the containers to you in one go.

What do you think of the current price tag of £135? If it doesn't sell, offer's could be made... Thoughts???

Well if you looked through Brouwlands website Aid, you'd know exactly how much it'd cost to get them new(?).

Personally I'd say that the seller wants a bit much to start with. If they were mine I'd have started them at £50 or something like that.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive!

I bought 13 X 54 litre dj's on eBay for £41

£20 ea is the going rate!

[Aid]

I'm back at school If Bob buys 13 containers for £41, how much did he pay for each?
Jeez dude, that's £3.15 each! That was some purchase.

[fatbloke]

Well using Brouwlands current prices (and a bit of a guess/closest size they sell), it would seem that it would be €268.57 or at todays exchange rate, £245.95

So the seller really is living in fantasy land:launchpoo

Well you have to factor in the van hire and fuel to London to pick them up

[Aid]

With the big 54ltr ones, what do you make in them? Are you doing grape wines or other recipes?

I think it's more a case of what Bob doesn't have a go at!

I've got it. He doesn't "do" Parsnip wine

I make grape wines yes....but also big batches of other stuff too

including a big batch of wine No1

[Aid]

Standard Wine No1?

[lockwood1956]

Yup!

[Aid]

You really rate No 1, don't you. I've not made an original recipe one yet but I shall soon. I definitely overwhelmed myself with different recipes and haven't yet found my stock, bulk, regular brew

May I ask, how do you get through the quantity? You make a lot of wine. From the forum, I see you're very generous and have a lot of friends available to crack a bottle open with. Does that account for it or are you steadily extending the cellar?

Wine number one really is a good one to have around... especially whilst you "experiment" with other stuff.

Maybe once you have tried it, it will be your stock/bulk/regular brew.
And if not, it certainly will help to get things aged.

I like to have either a wine number one, or wine number two, on the go, at all times

[fatbloke]

Well according to my firefox ebay sidebar, they're still sitting there with a big fat zero on the bids.

Whereas I've got a single 54 litre DJ for £20 (the one that Aid mentioned) and I also won the auction for 2 x 25 litre DJ's (£10 the pair)

I was gonna ask if you bagged that one.
I may wait until he fails to sell them and then offer him a price and sell on those I cant use.
