If you’re not going to sell something, don’t put it on the shelf with a price tag! The Blue Max, which is otherwise a great location, is notorious for having amazing bottles of scotch that are not for sale. But at least they have the courtesy to replace the price tags with clearly labeled "Not for Sale" signs. The guy at K-7 seems to be an ass.


Theres just too many reasons why he didnt sell it to you to write them all down. Iv been burned before by many people, many legendary folks to us, who just wont sell me things even though the table next to me has one.

What can i do? Nothing. There will be another chance.


??? I never tried to buy anything! Mostly because he did the proper thing - items that aren’t for sale were labeled as such.


If you wernt going to buy it then whats the problem. Infact wtf you talking about the name of this post is i tried to get utopiahmmm...

I’m not the OP Dave thumbs up. The point was the illustrate the proper way of display products that are not for sale - label them as such rather than with a price tag!

there is a bottle shop I frequent that had 3 or 4 bottles the last time I was in, and he’s had them for a long time. Not sure if the guy is set up for mail order but I can ask if the OP’er or anyone
else is interested.

This thread will be gone and forgotten in a wee or so. The review will be there as long as the place exists in the site’s database for anyone to click on and read.


Yeah, no one ever rates places. This is the kind of thing we need to know about, but guys won’t take the time.

This is an interesting thread. I live right near the store the OP is complaining about, and I know a couple guys that work there. I went by and told one of them about the post. He wasn’t the person behind the counter, but was able to shed some light on the situation.

The bottle IS labeled for sale and IS for sale if someone wants to drop 500 bucks on a bottle of ’07 Utopias. ($499 to be more precise) Where the OP is getting $200 from...I’m not quite sure. My friend said that the bottle (along with a similarly overpriced bottle of Cristal, sitting next to it on the shelf) were meant to be conversation pieces. But if someone was foolish enough to part with that much cash, they would be happy to part with either bottle.
