Founder & Lead Buyer
Started We Buy Bottles to give collectors an honest alternative to auction fees and lowball DMs. Reads every bottle list that comes in.
The people behind the offer.
Our homepage says you’re not selling to a faceless buyer. This page is where we prove it: the story, the license, and the team that verifies every bottle you send.
Built by collectors who hated selling.
Selling a rare bottle used to mean three bad options: auction houses that take a 15–25% cut and months of your time, consignment shops that pay whenever they feel like it, and marketplace strangers who want a deal and no paper trail.
We built the fourth option: a licensed buyer that makes a real cash offer in under 24 hours, covers insured shipping both ways, and pays right after inspection. No fees taken from your side, ever.
Today every collection travels the same way: in the prepaid, insured kit we send, on our label, to our licensed facility, where it's verified bottle by bottle by the team below and paid out, usually within a week of first contact. Nothing ever ships to us any other way.
Our intake counter
where every bottle gets verified
Three people, every bottle.
Small on purpose. The person who quotes your list is the person who unpacks your shipment and the person who sends your payment.

Logistics & Seller Support
Runs shipping kits, insured freight, and the phone line. If you call us, there's a good chance you'll get Rob.
Licensed, on the record.
We're an ABC-licensed spirits buyer with named people and a regulator who knows us, not a burner email with a logo.
One honest number.
The quote you accept is the amount you're paid. Our fee comes from the buyer's side, never out of your payout.
A human on the phone.
Call (202) 902-9935 and a person who knows what a Bottled-in-Bond is picks up. No phone trees, no scripts.
