    honey coming out my ears

    Yesterday my wife got conned into owning 732 bottles of real honey. She paid a little under 200Bt per/bottle and it retails for about 400. Even though she has a minimart it would take years to sell them one at a time. Does anyone have any good ideas on unloading this.

    What's the shelf life on the product? How is it contained?

    You spent a little under 146,400 baht on honey?

    Sounds like a divorcable offence.

    If it is in Mekhong size bottles, they retailed for a little over 250 Bt a bottle.

    Sorry, I have no idea how you can offload. One bottle lasts ages.

    Yeah, if it is in fact 'real' honey. Most of these bottles sold in markets are stretched with sugar-water.

    make a really good display of the bottles, and just iether sell it off cheap or put it up as buy 2 get one free..
    You will have to work to sell that lot, foot work may be needed here make an offer for hotels, guest houses and retuarants other wise youv'e got dead stock just sitting there.

    good luck thats a hell of a lot of honey

    A new variation of "No money, no honey".

    No money, loads of honey.

    It is in whisky bottles and a couple of people that tasted it said it was real honey. I heard the shelf life is indefinite, so at least thats a break

    If honey is stored in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight it will on indefinitely.

    What you need to do is to find some idiot who's prepared to stump up a load of cash for... er... Oh.

    Lemon (substitute Lime) and Honey makes a refreshing cool drink- u should be able to sell some of that thru' the shop and local residents.

    Honeycomb? If you're around Pattaya, honey is associated with some interesting sexual practises, but not sure how you'd market it.

    I think you're in a bit of a sticky situation.

    I don't know how many bottles other people have sold for 400Bt. We are selling ours for 200Bt.

    125 Baht, that's a bit over the top for an empty Black Label bottle.
