For a SP that's from 2019 and most likely a twist off, it seems fair.

Yeah I'd say value is about right. I'm a big fan of them and depending on the pick the value can vary. Most of them start around 2-220 then range way up. Of the four I have all of them have been good.

Yep. This is actually one of the first of the gold foil store picks Buffalo Trace did when they switched away from the screw tops in 2019, but yeah, the value is based on the pick and age. Picks start around 220 for new ones and then go up from there depending on who did the pick, age, NCF, etc.

Both things can be true, but regardless that seems unwarranted. There was no personal attack in the original post, and WLW responded with a fair explanation. Might want to take a step off the high horse

Secondary pricing doesn't always follow logic, especially for Weller products. WFP / WFP SP has like a $25 delta currently. If someone doesn't live in fb groups, they might just not be familiar.

Well when someone says "price seems high" and offers no reasoning or further explanation of said comment, that's just thread ****ting

Ab33 just asked why the price was higher than most other OWA picks and WLW and others provided a good response. He wasn't arguing. Think it's easy enough to just move on.

and yet, somehow, everyone else took the high road to try and help educate and validate except for you. Kinda weird when the OP seems chill about it and you jump into a conversation to provide nothing of value.

Didn't know honest questions weren't allowed in an online forum, my what the world has come to. As mentioned WLW and others gave a great explanation and was well received, I have an open W107 pick and was curious what differed. Glad you made yourself feel important today.

I'm sure I'll make a game or two, but nothing scheduled as of now. Either way, I'm sure we can figure something out.

Also if I've set up any trades that are pending please remind me. Pretty sure I'm caught up but have had a crazy few months.

Yes, make friends and they will get to know what you like. This is GREAT advice from the Bourbon thread:

Not MarathonAg12 said:
Don't always ask for bourbon when you come in.

Practice your active listening skills and see what motivates them. What are their life pleasures? Just like we do business with foreign businesses, you don't want to get down to business right away.

Don't be afraid to buy bottles they suggest every now and then. Even if it's something disgusting, pretend you haven't heard of it before and say "thanks for the suggestion, good looking out!"

Go beyond your self interests and ask the employee if there anything he/she is really enjoying right now. Build the rapport even further by going home with the mixers and spirits they suggested and make it that night. Return to the store later in the week and say "hey man, I tried making that drink the other night and it was fantastic! Or I think I may have done something wrong because it didn't come out that great, any suggestions?"

Before you know it, that employee will be offering you allocated bottles or asking if you want something from the back. And if you really want to show appreciation, if he hooked you up with a really rare bottle, crack it later that night and pour them out a sample.

At the end of the day, be respectful and courteous.
^^ goes ALONG way.

Quicker route:

In addition to what 2k said, don't fixate on the same stuff that everyone else is chasing. Do some blind tastings, figure out what flavors you like regardless of the label on the bottle. There is a lot of good bourbon sitting on the shelves while people hunt for buffalo trace products.

Blind tasting other offerings against buffalo trace products will likely be surprising. Most people are shocked when the BT stuff finishes lower
