unless I'm mistaken,those prices are from third-party sellers on Amazon. third-party sellers are mostly crooks(with the exceptions, of course). having said that, if they can find sellers who are willing to pay $1500, they have my respects.
we don't live in a communist or socialist country. consumers are free to pay whatever they can afford to pay. I've been a member of a local wine club for almost 10 years.
Two years ago, we purchased a bottle of 57-year-old French cognac at a stupid cost of $11,500. Divide that by 38 members in the club, each of use forked over $300. We used a syringe and equally distributed that bottle into 38 tiny glasses. Each person got just one little sip. $300 for a sip of 57-year-old cognac. It was barely enough to get a taste, but we all enjoyed the experience.
For me, it was about as close to time travel as I would ever get. Having the 57-year-old liquid paradise, even if it was just a sip, felt like a mini trip back in time to the 1958 when the stuff was made.
Nobody whined about the $300 cost. As a matter of fact, we actually got a great deal. A few month later, another identical bottle was sold at auction for almost $20,000!
