Beer: positive aspects
One of the auction users with the nickname petere92346 decided to sell a bottle of beer. The beer was not simple, but ALLSOPP's ARCTIC ALE. It was released in 1852 (!) by the legendary English brewery Allsopp, which ceased to exist in the middle of the 20th century. The bottle was sealed and had a label signed by the brewer's hand.
The seller probably didn’t even know the approximate value of this bottle, so he took the description lightly, writing only a few sentences and attaching two photos. But his biggest mistake was the misspelling of the manufacturer’s name. He wrote «Allsop,» omitting the letter «p» at the end of the word. Because of this, potential buyers-collectors could not find this bottle in the search on the auction page.
And on June 21 of this year, a user with the nickname collectordan bought this bottle for $304.
The story could have ended there if the enterprising new owner of the bottle hadn’t put it up for sale again with a proper description, plenty of photos, and most importantly, the correct name. As a result, on August 12, he sold the bottle for… $503,300.
Did the first owner of the bottle find out about this? History is silent)))
