Any bourbon flippers out there? Any reason I shouldn't consider buying for resale? (Obviously I would always hold back a bottle or two for my personal stock)
It's not cool and I certainly wouldn't do it. Creates further scarcity and deprives others of the opportunity to try something. Flippers are part of the reason why stores are increasingly keeping their supplies of the good stuff off the shelves.
