The unit came with a bar.
Somewhere behind the boxes: bottles. Maybe a shelf, maybe a whole collection somebody paid storage on for a decade. Two questions matter now: is any of it worth real money, and how do you sell it without breaking the law? Both have fast answers.
Four facts before you list anything.
You can't just list it
Most marketplaces ban alcohol listings outright, and in most states selling liquor privately without a license is illegal. The clean path for a civilian holding bottles is selling to a licensed buyer, which is exactly what we are.
Dusty is a feature, not a flaw
Storage units are time capsules. Discontinued labels, old tax strips, decanters from the '70s: the stuff that looks like junk next to the furniture is sometimes the real payday. Don't clean anything; send photos as-found.
Speed is the whole game for flippers
You buy units to turn them fast. Send the photos today, get a real number inside 24 hours, ship on our prepaid insured label, and get paid after inspection: no listing, no meetups, no haggling with strangers.
Unknowns are welcome
No label you recognize? No problem. Photograph the front, the back, and the fill level, and we'll identify it. That's our job, not yours.
The regulated part is our problem.
Alcohol is the one thing in that unit you can’t flip like the furniture. We hold an ABC license, which means we can lawfully buy your find, receive it on the insured labels we send, and put the whole transaction on the record. We check what’s permitted for your state before any kit ships.
Compare that with a forum stranger paying by app and asking you to “ship it as olive oil.” One of these ends with a wire and a receipt; the other can end a lot worse. The details are on our licensing page, and the proof we actually buy is on the purchase record.
The 10-minute triage
- Sealed bottles only: opened ones aren't sellable to us
- Don't wipe labels or peel old stickers and tax strips
- Photograph front label, back label, and fill level per bottle
- Group shots of the whole haul help us quote the lot fast
- Note anything with a box, tube, or bag, since packaging adds value
