“From beginning to end, We Buy Bottles made my whole experience so simple and easy! Rob was amazing to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way! I recommend We Buy Bottles to anyone who is looking to sell vintage bottles of libations. My experience was nothing but positive!”
“Phenomenal experience. They gave me a fantastic price for my Rip Van Winkle 10 year. The process was seamless. They sent the packaging with return UPS label. I sent it to them. Quick turn around. Paid immediately. Will DEFINITELY work with them again. Highly recommend.”
“We Buy Bottles was great to work with and offered me a fair price for my bottles. I sent pics to WBB and two other firms. One was much lower, the other never even responded. Shipping was easy and I was promptly paid. I recommend them and will use them again myself.”
“We Buy Bottles provided a very fair offer for my Old Rip Van Winkle and were absolutely great to work with! The process couldn't be any easier. They supply the special box and cover the shipping cost. Payment was sent almost immediately after they received the bottle. I 100% recommend them!”

Open/Broken Bottles

Vodka
We love a martini, but vodka just doesn't make the cut.
Ask us anything.
Selling rare spirits can raise questions. We’ve answered the most common ones below, and if you don’t see yours, just reach out.
Do you buy single bottles, or only full collections?
Both. A single bottle is fine, and so is a cabinet you inherited and have not counted yet. Send whatever you have and we will price it.
How do I get an offer?
Send us your bottle list and a few phone photos through the form. No account needed. A person reads it, checks it against what we are actively buying, and sends you a cash offer, usually the same day.
How do I get paid?
You pick the method. We pay by check, ACH, Zelle, PayPal, and wire. We verify each bottle when it arrives at our secure facility and issue payment within 24 hours of it passing inspection. Most sellers are paid within 5 to 7 days of first contacting us.
Is it really okay to ship alcohol to you?
Yes, completely. The kit we send moves through the carriers' own alcohol shipping programs on our account, with adult signature at delivery, and the paperwork is handled on our side. You never arrange anything yourself.
What if a bottle breaks in transit?
You still receive the full quoted amount because every shipment is insured.
Do you charge any fees?
No. The number we quote is the number you get. We cover the packing kit, the shipping label, and the insurance, and nothing comes out of your payout. There is no commission, no listing fee, and no percentage taken off the back end.
How long does it take to receive an offer?
Usually the same day, and most quotes returned within 24 hours. A person is reading your list, so lists that come in late at night get answered the next morning rather than instantly.
How is pricing determined?
We price against what our buyers are actively paying right now, not against a published guide or an auction result from two years ago. Age, rarity, condition, fill level, and whether the original box is present all move the number. You get one honest figure rather than a high opener we walk back later.
How does shipping work?
Once you accept the offer we send a packing kit with prepaid labels. Pack the bottles, drop the box with the carrier, and you are done. Your shipment is insured from your doorstep to our warehouse, and if anything breaks in transit you are still paid the full quoted amount. Every shipment travels on the kit's prepaid, insured label; never ship bottles to us on your own label or postage, and we do not accept local drop-offs. The kit, the label, and the insurance are all on us.
What do you typically not buy?
Opened bottles, anything unlabeled or homemade, bottles that are leaking or missing a seal, and mass-market bottles you can still find on a shelf. We also pass on anything we cannot verify. Everything else is worth asking about. Bourbon is where we are strongest and where we usually pay the most, but we buy across scotch, Japanese whisky, tequila and mezcal, and fine wine and champagne too. If you are not sure, send it. Telling you no costs you nothing.
