Needing some Legal Advice - Hoping to sell some KC Royals Boulevard Beer bombers

[shammus]

Hey all! Wow, looks like I got quite a few responses here on the 2nd go-around!

To clarify, I'm definitely NOT shipping these. I would be selling them on Facebook Marketplace to someone local here in the KC area who would be able to come get them.

I was just hoping I'd be able to do that as a one-time occurrence since these are Collector's items and the actual beer is waaay to old to safely drink. Without needing some sort of odd temporary liquor license or opening myself up to getting fined or ticketed.

Thanks again for the responses!

If you open them and pour out the contents you can legally sell the empty bottles. Selling alcohol is illegal without a liscense and calling it a collectable doesn't make it any less illegal.

Hey Ben, hope all is well.

I'm a bit confused by two of your responses. Your most recent one above directly conflicts with your statement of "Your best bet is to sell them locally. As long as you don't sell them to a minor you will be OK." ....

I would give them to my cousins for Christmas, and say, 'I looked for LSU commemorative beer, but couldn't find any, but I did find these...'


I don't really see a lot of upside for trying to sell these. Just my 2 cents.

It is 100% illegal without a liscense. Just saying if done locally you are taking less of a risk in the first post.

The fine is up to $11,000 and 1 year in prison. Will you get that if caught, probably not if you have a clean record. Also FB marketplace or any online marketplace does not allow sales of alcohol.

Thanks for clarifying Ben, Yikes, that is a harsh price to pay. I agree, certainly not worth the risk if the punishment is that severe. In truth, I really didn't want to take ANY risk at all.

I'll be taking your advice here and hanging on to these I think and not bothering with selling them at all. That was exactly the sort of clarification I needed. Much appreciated guys!

Be sure to include a hand written signed reciept and you should be fine.

Since all threads need more pictures. Here is the only known unopened bottle of Pagan Pink Ripple.

So is it still unopened? Just wondering.

For 2 collectible bottles I agree. Just make sure whomever would buy them is 21 or over and I don't think you have a problem. Maybe an in person transaction.. But everyone has to do what is comfortable for themselves...
