This is a faint glimmer of hope for those aspiring to become internet brazillionaires. Some guy decides to sell a 200 year old bottle of ale but accidentally leaves out one “P” in the brand name. A lucky bargain hunter just happens to see the auction and –realizing the value of the bottle– spends a healthy $300 only to resell it for half a million a little later. Yeah, I’d be mad.
Just goes to show, it isn’t impossible. Keep tryin’.
Some people buy lottery tickets, others earn them ;-)

Wow. That is crazy.
I wonder if this person is going to pay their capital gains.
Plus who the hell is spending half a million on a rotten bottle of old beer with anit freeze in it. Probably tastes like ass.
It isn’t about the taste, it has plenty of historic value. Probably a museum. Or someone who understands that something like this can only go up in value. In about 10 years it will double in price no doubt.
Hey Paul G
You are probably one of those who thinks the government is there in our bests interest too.
It was an accident? or just some smart guys
