I dont mean to be a party pooper, but a word of caution about a lot of those sites with prices online - many have exorbitant markups for some releases, especially older ones that may have discontinued packaging or bottling, anything considered hard to find, Stores do this too. They're all shameless price gougers, using 'collectors' as their target customer. See it all the time with knives, sneakers, etc. Idk how much you paid for it if you don't recall adding it to your stockpile, but something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I see these places selling stuff like Weller Special Reserve or Blanton's single barrel for $150+ and retail is a third of that. It grinds my gears lol

I'm not intending to shoot you down, its just these people fuck up the market for stuff. Imagine someone buying up all of your favorite IH cut and selling it for triple the cost. Manipulating the exclusivity of a product. Isn't this what Rolex does, but entirely in-house? okay, I'm just being obnoxious at this point.....

Just for reference. I started the post with, I thought it was funny. I did not buy it, my other half passed away 6 months ago and left me with a houseful of alcohol. It was in a closet, probably for years. I googled it to see if it was any good, and the price I mentioned is what showed up. I don't think he paid that much for it. I found it amusing, and didn't take it seriously.

IH- 527J / sort of. My all time favorite jacket.

I don't know, when I googled it to see if it was good, a company called Liquor Freight has it available at $699.99.

This is kind of funny. Tomorrow is a good friends birthday, I know he likes Tequila, so I went through our liquor stock pile and found this. Milagro Special Barrel Reserve Anejo Tequila.

Then I googled it and saw the retail price.

IHJ I forget the# it's about 10 years old.

@hajduk Pierre, It was great seeing you again. Safe travels home.

@twin I missed that you weren't in Baltimore this weekend.

@hajduk Pierre, this is what you were looking for.

And stupidly, I booked an Uber at the end of the Ravens / Saints game. Then I got to the airport and my flight home was delayed 2 hours. And also putting forum names and real names together is a challenge. Nicely done @Matt , It was nice seeing friends and meeting new forum members.

A couple more.

@goosehd I'm very sorry to hear this, but understand.️

@maple_texas message sent in chat.

@goosehd Looks like The Queen Anne. nice....

Very nicely done.

Trying to plan what to pack IH wise, a while ago I saw the weather would be quite warm, so I was going to wear IHSH-147, I have 2 of them. Today when I checked it says the evening temps will be 62F, Daytime high 77F. I think I'll change what I bring.

@northsouthdenimguy Its only about 4.5 hours from Charlotte, depending on traffic

Happy Birthday Matt.

@northsouthdenimguy I find it all interesting. Please keep it coming.

@Twistlock @endo Great shot.
