Buying Op for later this year

Post by Roy Hersh »

Before undertaking a major project like putting together a Buyer's Op for our subscribers, I'd first like to see if there is enough interest here to move forward with this:

A nice broad offering of Madeira that would be available to pretty much ALL countries. What do you say? [shrug.gif]

I'm directing my spare cash towards vintage port these days, so a Madeira buying opportunity is one I would pass on.

I might buy a bottle or two, but there's an excellent chance that I'd pass on Madeira. But then you already knew that. :wink:

Enough negativity from those who are not interested. Yes, I look forward to the opportunity. So what if nobody gets Christmas presents from me this year.

I need more madeira so I say Yes as long as it is a broad offering (price rangewise) and not just the ultra high end stuff.

I thanks those who have voiced their opinions so far. I do hope to hear from more of you too!

Thanks!

I love the idea of a Madeira offering, but I to would pass as this point and prefer to see it offered later in the year.

Sorry Roy, I'm not into Madieras (yet), so I'd say no.

Andy,

None of this would probably happen until Oct. at the earliest and November is more than likely.

I can only speak for myself, but later (nov-dec) would be best to allow the pocket book to recover from a variety of things, including a long trip to Portugal.

I hear ya.

That time of the year would be better for purchase and ship right away too.
