Blair’s 4AM #72 on eBay

I’ve had my eye on that since yesterday 😉

don’t think it will end anywhere near my price range tho. Does anyone have a higher number one that they’s be willing to part with? OR a 5am

My wife will disown me if I bid on this… Oh Well………

Yeah, spotted that yesterday as well – nice item!!

go for it!!!!!

What is a decent price it?

Ack! Fingers got too excited.

What is a decent price for a 4AM?

Ive seen them go from 300 to over 450 lately. Depending on the condition and number.

For #72 I’d pay $550 – $600. I know they have gone for more – Much more

Jezza did u hear whether those 3ams were signed and numbered? I still haven’t received mine yet so I couldn’t tell you

I was gonna sell my #642 but just could not do it. I told myself I need the money but NOT gonna sell my Blair’s stuff to get it. Check out the related post about the #642 at the top of this section. 🙂

wow…

does that mean ur goin for it then Mad? Add it to your newly established larger collection

I’d love to but I got some money aside for some other stuff. My wife will kill me. I spent a small fortune in NM

If only it was goin in a months time – I get £412 tax return and my student loan instalment! If only they hadn’t taxed me in the 1st place – but then again I’d probably have spent it already 😉

Talk to eman! OOPPS I might piss sombody else off on that comment

[Comment ID #17541 Quote]

I take it that generally the lower the number the higher the value?

[Comment ID #17552 Quote]

Yeah thats for sure

[Comment ID #17551 Quote]

Don’t mean to bring attention to this, but why would it annoy someone? Has eman got a few then I take it?

Yes and no. I’d say the top 20 would get a permium. Or, If you were able to get a set of all the same number (which is my next venture) Definatly #1 and the last number will fecth a pretty penny. Or some whacky number like a 6 of 66. or a 9 of 99 (my holiday reserve)

Ohhhh boy, Im thinking about selling my Z28 again for hot sauce. Someone please talk me out of it.

Z28 tell me more????

Well my problem is that I have 2 hobbies. #1 HOT SAUCE and #2 Drag racing. Not the most cheap hobbies out there. Ive been kind of out of the racing thing for a while (just not into it right now) and though about selling the car to buy a TON of sauce. Its just a 95 6 speed Z28 with some minor mods done to it. I know if I sell it I will just kick myself later because I just cant get the racing bug out of me.

[Comment ID #17543 Quote]

I’ve not still not heard back from them yet Matt, even fired off another e-mail on Sunday, but still no news. They must be busy…

Thats a rather large collection that you are bidding on there MAD.

[Comment ID #17569 Quote]

Thanks Jezza – I’ve sent them another email today so hopefully they’ll get back to one of us soon – even better if it arrives 2moro

Shhhhhhhh don’t tell my wife.

I’ll keep you informed anyway if your still interested. I haven’t had a new sauce in ages and its starting to get to me now. lol

[Comment ID #17572 Quote]

🙂 Ill be quiet if you let me fondle one of those new cutting room floor bottles.

How about if you fondle my wife instead 🙂 I think I’m going to forget a shrine cabinet and just add another room to the house. Along with a killer death ray security system

Yeah, please do Matt – I’ve been after a numbered 3am for some time now, but generally when they’ve come up on ebay they’ve not been available to the UK, so to find one locally would be ideal!

I know what you mean about not getting a new bottle for a while and it takes alot of discipline to prevent yourself from just going out and buying whatever is currently available – what you’re looking for inevitably seems to come up just after you’ve spent all your cash, lol 🙂

I’ve recently picked up a few new ones though so can’t really complain.

[Comment ID #17575 Quote]

Haaaaaaa!!!! It was worth a try. Go get those sum bitches and put some pics up here. Cant wait to see what they look like.

I definately know what you mean there Jezza

Jezza are you bidding on this 4am or is it someone else from the UK?

Yep I placed a bid on it – not even enough to meet the reserve price though so we’ll have to see what happens… I’ve got a holiday coming up soon as well so need to be careful!

Ouch what a nice thing it would be to get that. I did just get paid though!

jezza are you aunty101 then? Was it you that got the caldera the other week – did you say something about it getting damaged in shipping?

Heres something pretty cool on ebay.

Link.

Ooops, forgot to rename it. Sorry Nick.

Hey Nick and fellow HSBers.

Nick, Thanks for posting my listing. I love this site. I’ve wanted to see somthing like this for a long time. I will be very active here in the future.

HSBers, I’m ErricJ and I have an extensive colection. I have the distinction of owning the #1 bottle of both the Blair’s 4am and 6am from day 1. I’m glad to be a part of this. If you have any questions for me regarding my listing or my collection or anything feel free to ask.

[Comment ID #17570 Quote]

I also had my eye on that one- 5 days left.

Whats up peeps’
What’s the wordizzle on the blogizzle tonizzle!!!!!!!

Do I sense a good mood that your in eman? Wonder why??

My face hurts from smiling all day! And mrseman just scored her first bottle of hotsauce on e-bay, all by herself…how cool is that!!!!

what did she get?

A signed adam from CaJohn’s. She has shown quite an interest in his stuff and i think it is really cool.

[Comment ID #17611 Quote]

Welcome Eric.

Mad, what are you bidding on – ebay?

Did anyone tell Mattuk what the O face is?

[Comment ID #17629 Quote]

DANG! I was watching that – got stuck working on an emergency (Still doing that) – missed the auction. Good deal she got! I wanted that one (probably better I didn’t so the wife don’t get too mad!)

Congrats mrseman

Huvason-that guy is Erric

Welcome Eric! The HSB contains many a rabid hot sauce fanactic but I bet you could tell. So you found the place to be! Just dont let them try and talk you out of the # 1’s in your collection which I know wont happen but I bet someone will try!!

whoops sorry Erric. Too fast working and trying to catch uphere.

I posted O face for Matt earlier somewhere

Thanks

Sweet!!! thanks John

I am in SOOOO much trouble!!
MRSEMAN is scouring ebay looking for bargains….oh god..there goes the savings.
Another chilihead is born!!

[Comment ID #17598 Quote]
Forgot Nick added new search and cross posting features

[Comment ID #17642 Quote]

Congratulations eman. She can’t be worse than you though!

[Comment ID #17642 Quote]

Just so shes only buying?

MRSEMAN see those worthless bottles in that disply case, yeah, and the big one that says prototype.
Thats it.
Maybe you want to try your hand at selling to. I think you could make a couple bucks selling some of those old wax-covered bottles…
you know make room for some new stuff…. 🙂 🙂

Gee thanks….do I have a reputation or something? 🙂

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Hello Erric. Welcome to our humble bloghouse. Looks like we have a little something in common…I own the #2 6AM. Nice to meet you!

[Comment ID #17650 Quote]

If you list them with a Buy it Now, you will move them pretty quick.

Chris k…don’t give her any ideas!!

[Comment ID #17653 Quote]

Sorry eman… I couldnt resist.
Maybe you need to think about a safe instead of that display cabinet!

We are going back to Figeros this weekend, does anyone need anything….thoes tabasoc bottles maby?

Is this a record setting week for you eman? How many bottle will that be added to your collection this week?

[Comment ID #17654 Quote]

You know, i have been contemplating having it insured. It’s value is quite high!

Well chris k, about 20 NEW bottles of Blair’s alone. All ones I dont have. Some are common,some not. And all the stuff we got last weekend. I think we are going to clean out the CaJohns this weekend.

Thats true. I would check into it. It might cost a bit because they may say it is not valued at what you say it is. Mad mentioned something earlier today about getting an alarm. Not sure if he was serious.

[Comment ID #17657 Quote]

Send em to me – i’ll watch them real close for you 🙂

good idea. I wonder if CaJohn is thinking of a contest since this one went over so well?

[Comment ID #17660 Quote]

Here we go again…lol

eman, I will pick them up in an armored truck.

[Comment ID #17660 Quote]

Cool,I have your address….I will even pay for shipping. Keep a look out for the guy in brown!

[Comment ID #17662 Quote]

Wait eman, no need to pay for shipping…lol

You guys are so nice.
Have been working on the TEAM HSB shirts today. Hope to have a pic to post next week. Nick will have a post for orders.

Nice…. CAn’t wait. What’s the plan again? HSB logo, and our blog name?

Cool, I want one of those.

sounds like that little bratty girl on Willy Wonka.
Daddy, I want one of those, I want an HSB t-shirt!

[Comment ID #17670 Quote]

Varuca Salt

Sounds like you might be right there eman.

[Comment ID #17670 Quote]

Veruca Salt

[Comment ID #17671 Quote]

[Comment ID #17673 Quote]

What are the odds of that. Both came in 1 minute apart and are almost identical.

Guess you are also right huvason

[Comment ID #17669 Quote]

Here is what i am thinking
Red T-shirt
Your name on right front – pocket height
TEAM HSB on left front
Screen name -large- on upper back
number of your choice on back center

[Comment ID #17675 Quote]

I spelled it right though – eman get 2 points off 🙂

[Comment ID #17670 Quote]

For some reason, after I started to write this, I thought of that voice. Now I cant get it out of my head.

[Comment ID #17676 Quote]

Im in, sounds OK to me!

[Comment ID #17676 Quote]

Sounds good. Now if I pay shipping… will people sign my shirt?

[Comment ID #17680 Quote]

Although, my screen name is my regular name (how original)

unless I Dr.

Huvason, if you want it signed, better order 2 so you can keep the signed one and wear the other.

Imagine if all the HSB’rs that go to Zest Fest or NM next year all wear the HSB shirt. They will stick out in a crowd and you will know who your fellow HSB’rs are.

Hopefuly we can all do that at ZESTFEST in sept.

Were you guys planning on going to Zest Fest this Sept?

YUP…going to try and get as many as possible

Sweet! Zestfest is in my backyard (or at least within 30 miles or so:). It will be great to meet everyone!

[Comment ID #17686 Quote]

I want to try, still have a bit less than 6 months until then.

[Comment ID #17687 Quote]

Hey Kristi, you are out of the Kitchen? Did you break out?
It would be cool to go in Sept. I am going to try, but I cannot say 100% at this point.

[Comment ID #17690 Quote]

You must have a big backyard 🙂

Kristi, I sent out a couple of e-mails asking about Zest Fest, and havent received any responses back yet. If I hear any more info I will let you know.

Hardly out of the kitchen Chris, we’re just getting started! Trying to perfect a new sauce for Sept. Trying to get it to production in time for all you chiliheads. maybe instead of T-shirts, all you guys should shave your heads and let Cajohn sign ’em. We’d know the HSB’ers anywhere that way.

[Comment ID #17695 Quote]

Whose better than you? Thanks. We’re actually wondering how much we should bring. Seems to be the question at the moment. We’ve heard at least double what we brought to NM.

Aaaaaah, No, no shaved head for me. Maybe a buzz-cut or something, but there needs to be some hair.

Sorry MSK.

Well if there must be hair, at least have him sign your forehead or something. Where do you live, what state?

We actually had to make reservations for a hotel in the area already. Called a few places just to get prices and stuff and a ton of them were already booked for that weekend. Crazy!

[Comment ID #17702 Quote]

Good old South East PA.

So Im not really to far from Blair’s, Defcon, Three Hot Tamales, Nick (if he opens a store)

Sorry MSK……

No problem Chris! With all the sudden responsibility a shaved head carries, it’s a tuff decision to make. 🙂

[Comment ID #17707 Quote]

Not if – When 🙂

well, my younger brother has no hair, so I think I will keep mine for now.

Kristi, CaJohn on my forehead? Even MSK didnt do that?

Just trying to give you alittle nudge there Nick 🙂

Well I hope you’ll be able to make it to ZF, i mean come on, you’ve got SIX MONTHS to make plans!

Nick – Totally off the topic, but my wife is threatening to take a baseball bat to my collection if I don’t post this…

She wants to suggest a WSB (Women’s (wives) Support Blog) for those that feel the HSB has become “the other woman”.

Kidding about the bat thing, she wouldn’t do that. 😛 …yet 🙁

[Comment ID #17711 Quote]

So you take it a step further, next they’d all be bidding on your forehead.

[Comment ID #17715 Quote]

If she is smart, she will wait until those new bottles arrive…
That would cause you more pain!

I could sell it as advertising space instead! 🙂

nice.

[Comment ID #17716 Quote]

But where would it end, MSK would need to top that and it would continue.
I just dont know, it will take alot of convincing…

That’s exactly why I’m having them delivered to my office 🙂

[Comment ID #17718 Quote]

There you go, I could advertise for the Three Hot Tamales.
You would need to write small though.

ryan, i sent you a follow-up e-mail.

dont worry Nick, we are up to something.

Hey Chris, You’re hired. Sorry for riding on your coat tail MSK!

I guess that means I need to go now.

Sorry MSK, CaJohn already signed you 🙂

Kristi…..

Best hang on tight sweetheart….You’re in for a hell of a ride 🙂

Kristi, I just noticed you are now on the top 20 commentors list.
If Lisa sees that, you will never leave that kitchen.

Just tell her you were working on some advertising for the show 🙂

Sent ya a reply Chris

[Comment ID #17728 Quote]

That definately means I should worry…

[Comment ID #17736 Quote]

Hey MSK!! I miss you, don’t you love the picture of us all? We had a great time hanging around with you guys. Looking forward to it all! From the looks of this blog, the ride goes up and down as quick as the days go by so bring it on!!!! Kisses

did you hear that Jode? I’m on the commentors list, aww yeah, whose a commentor???????? thanks for the update Chris and the helpful excuses I’ll need for Lisa. Anything you need just let me know. lol

Kristi…..Send me an email

Thanks Kristi.
Anytime you need an excuse to give to Lisa, just let us know.

B99 or 4 am ??

Hey ya’ll – which is more rare and valuable?
What is the concensus on this comparison?

[Comment ID #17741 Quote]

Ryan I didnt see it yet, I already sent it to Nick.
I guess he now knows you were involved anyway…

[Comment ID #17748 Quote]

I definitely will, mind if I pick your brain when I do? I need to know where you got that bag to carry your markers, I’ve got to get one for chris. lol

[Comment ID #17753 Quote]

What bag, wait a minute. Why do I need a bunch of markers?

Well how else are people going to sign your forehead, silly. Theres no quittin now.

Jeff B-99 is rarer, there were only 99 but the 4am has an imaginary infated price tage because of the story of one going for 5k at some auction. probably also for the illusion of gold which is a sense of value visually.
Either way 4am will probably get more per bottle currently. Give it a few years when you never see a B-99 N59 Holiday 05 on the market they will get some serious cash then probalby

Like clockwork, the 2nd Tuesday of the month and out come the MS updates.

[Comment ID #17755 Quote]

Who else is signing?
Maybe I better just schedule those days off while Im at work tomorrow.

i think you should definitely do that, we’ll need you Sept. 8th, 9th and 10th. That should give you plenty of time.

[Comment ID #17757 Quote]

Huh?

[Comment ID #17756 Quote]
Thanks for this information, it was challenging to get a response that made some sense. I appreciare that, and was perhaps looking to do a straight trade B99 for a 4 am. Would that be fair?

OK, I will let you know.

later guys, going to bed. must get up early to make more sawse!

[Comment ID #17760 Quote]

Sorry Nick, Microsoft Updates get released every 2nd Tuesday of the month. Unless they are critical, they they come out as needed. See, my icon is flashing and wants me to install.

[Comment ID #17761 Quote]
Jeff – Yeah, that’s a square trade. The 4AM’s have a higher value now, so you’re probably getting the better end of the bargin – but it all boils down to what the other guy needs.

It late Nick, Im just complaing because that little message just popped up to remind me.

Kristi….I think it was just something I picked up at Wally-World. I’ve used a few variations but that one worked out the best. I would suggest replacing the markers every year. The ones I had were from ABQ 2005. By the end of the show most were in the trash because they dried up.

Please do email. I have a suggestion and a request for the ZF

Hey Kristi, make sure Lisa gives you a break tomorrow.

send me an e-mail when you have some more info on the show.

[Comment ID #17765 Quote]
Nick: thanks again for your valued feedback!
Are you going to a track for the N59’s across the country?

Here is an interesting one for all:
– has anyone been successful in obtaining insurance on their Blair’s collection? Details on appraisels or individual riders? All comments appreciated!

Thanks for that info MSK, do you really want me to have the same bag? 🙂

Ryan, see you later, dont sleep with that helmet on…lol

Not to give you a bad visual, but when I go to bed, there’s nothing…not even the prized helmet…which I may sign and put up for auction 😛

Jeff – another thing to consider is that originally, the 4AM was the first limited edition reserve that Blair made. The 2 and 3 AM’s are an open series, even though they are no longer numbered. That’s another reason that the 4AM demands a higher premium. Not to mention, every time you hear about someone trying some 4AM and talk about how hot it is, the remaining ones in mint condition just became that much more rare…

I have insurance on them. They didn’t specifically appraise them I think it’s under our “umbrella”. I had to list everything I wanted insured, tools, jewlery, hot sauce, etc. They just gave me a premium and that was that. I can say this though. You pay out the ying yang for insurance and when you need it, no matter how careful you read the policy, it turns out you not covered.

I realize that i’m a Johnny Come Lately, but welcome to our obsession Erric. Be sure to get the full tour before you make a final decision to join us in our madness…you may have to think twice 😛

Did I miss much tonight?

No, not really. Mostly banter amongst the regs, the usual joking around about getting ahold of Eman’s collection and such. Its become a chat room without the constant scrolling 😛 🙁

[Comment ID #17710 Quote]

Nick – I was visiting NYC last summer before I really knew much about Sweat N’Spice and I thought you did have a store! I stopped at your building with my whole family and quickly realized we weren’t going to do any shopping 🙂 But my girlfriend still wanted to be sure so she had someone call up to be certain! I really felt pretty stupid.

[Comment ID #17831 Quote]

That happens all the time. We now let people into the warehouse because it just keeps happening, but the official store is taking much longer. NY rent is the real killer – anyone wanna invest? 🙂

[Comment ID #17838 Quote]

Nick, do you have shopping carts in the warehouse? 🙂

[Comment ID #17838 Quote]

Sounds like you went staight with the “large (warehouse) store” theme.

A Big Box Hot Sauce Store.

[Comment ID #17761 Quote]

I did a straight trade with a Holiday ’05 I had (i don’t remember the number, but it was nothing special) For a 4A.M. guy seemed happy to do it (I know I was) and the best part was that he approached me about it. So based on the look of B-99 hell yeah its a fair trade in comparison to what I did. People trade that rocks. Just takes a while to find them sometimes. You might go to list a bottle on eBay and as soon as someone sees it they might say…hmm were you looking to do a straight trade this for that. Sometimes you get nice and Lucky!
Lets hear it for – Yin & Yang, Karma and 888.

[Comment ID #17576 Quote]

Jezza it has arrived – I got a message this morning to say it has. I’ll keep you posted whether it’s numbered – It’s in my house mates room at the moment and she isn’t in

I just wana know if it’s numbered!!!! lol. I wonder what number it is…..wonder if she has a spair key anywhere…..hmmmmmm 😉

[Comment ID #17912 Quote]

B&E for hot sauce – now that’s something we haven’t heard about yet

Yeah I got in – she came in when I was in there – she didn’t mind tho

oops caught in the act!!

Nice one Matt, fingers crossed eh!

Jezza don’t order a 3am from Chilliworld – they are NOT numbered. He must have lied in his email to me or sold out recently. I received a non-numbered when I payed for numbered!!! I already have one of those and can get them at nearly half the price

Im goin for food before I explode!! It’s on its way back tomorrow with Royal Mail. Sorry Jezza

Hard luck Matt, but thanks for keeping us posted!
And the search goes on….

[Comment ID #17934 Quote]

Yeah you’ll have to let me know if you find one before me. lol.

Did you hear anything about those numbered 2ams we were interested in? was it Scott that was goin to a shop that may sell them?

Fear not Matt, if I find more than 1, you’ll be the first to know 🙂

Yeah, I think it was Scott who mentioned a store that may have numbered 2am’s some left… not seen anything since though

Matt did you pass out?

[Comment ID #17676 Quote]

Count me in!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was me. Went there yesterday an no go. Sold them last week. 🙁

This presents me with a dilemma since I have my own logo on t-shirts. I bring several to the shows to wear all day every day.

BUT…..I’m in!!!!!

[Comment ID #17859 Quote]
Great – thanks for this detail. I will see what happens looking for a trade for a 4 am…

[Comment ID #17957 Quote]

Shirts sound cool! I’d buy!

Hye all, what’s going on in here tongiht? Anything juicy?

Slow night tonight…. Nothing going on for a change!

Well, I figured I would pop my head in and say to some of my favorite peeps! Who else better to have a gin and tonic with at 9:30 PM?

Where’s my gin at? lol Slow for huvason maybe he needs the gin instead might speed things up a bit

[Comment ID #17715 Quote]

Tell het to join on in the fun! She doesn’t know what she is missing!

Ha Ryan she is a part of this blog herself anyway 🙂 She has no choice but to join up. . I mean her picture was a blog topic! Better get two computers though so there is no fighting

[Comment ID #17985 Quote]

Sure, how do you want it? Straight up, w/ tonic/ or in a martini glass drinking it straight up anyway, just looking cool while doing it? Oh, and we can add some spicy olives to it in the martini glass. 😉

[Comment ID #17985 Quote]

I’m stuck working – since 5am this morning. Worked 3am-10pm the day before. CAn anyone say weekend?

[Comment ID #17989 Quote]
LOL I don’t care how it’s made really. Gotta spice it up no doubt though!

Man huvason I know the feeling. A few weeks ago I worked from 11:30 pm to 9:00 am. Needless to say that messed me up bad. How weird that felt!!

you guys drink for me!

Wow, the #72 just went for 1000 bucks!!!!!!

Very nice for the person making the money! I doubt I will ever have that much expendable cash but here’s hoping!!

[Comment ID #17986 Quote]

actually she does, its pretty much all i talk about these days 😛

[Comment ID #19291 Quote]

Now thas some serious money!!

To think how many were made and the original price that is one hell of a profit! I was expecting it to go for around $600-$700

Someone really wants it!

[Comment ID #19323 Quote]

very true!!

Has anyone gotten their invoice yet?

[Comment ID #19293 Quote]

My guess is he doesn’t need the money. He also owns #1 4AM #1 6AM and #3 5AM. It was fun watching the last minute of bidding though.
No invoice yet. But no rush either. 🙂

I own the #1 3AM.

Did you say a full grand? Holy cow! Brain overload!

I agree Lisa, what a sweetie!

[Comment ID #19331 Quote]

whoa I didn’t realize that. Quite awesome!!

And to be quite honest thakswet, I think that is worth way more than the #1 4AM IMO but that is all it is is an opinion, it is older, that is #1 of 75, not #1 of 999, everything about it should make it rarer and more valuable. But put both on eBay and people would go more apeshit than the pre am or Prototype caldera 1/1 for the #1 4AM. And the 3 AM would get some nice coin i bet not even a grand. (although maybe it would today as prices seem to be going up a little)

[Comment ID #19335 Quote]

Do you have any pics of it since Blair pimped it. (restored it) LOL.

I’ll put pics up tomorrow evening. Nick can post them when he wants.

Sweeeet.

I’d say that’s a keeper. Hey speaking of Blair any word from the man himself? He must be cooking up somthing

pmac I agree with you. It will be along time until I ever decide to ebay (verb) it. $1,000 is nothing compared to this treasure I received.

I am going to list my Blair’s 4 am # 814 for sale on ebay soon. its in mint condition i only took it out of its case once i have the Disclaimer & Release Waiver that came with it . IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE ME A OFFER BEFORE I POST IT ON EBAY PLEASE E MAIL ME AT {EDIT: Get email from nick}

[Comment ID #17522 Quote]

i have a blairs 5am reserve #10 anyone intrested

I’m sure there will be plenty interested, but you have to keep something in mind: Single-digit (which are significantly more valuable than a double-digit, even it’s a close number) bottles of 5AM *might* (and that’s a big maybe) bring $1000. Most very low two-digits I’ve seen have had empty auction results even at $700. If you’re looking to get somewhere in the ballpark of $600 or less, you may have a buyer. Anything over $750 or so – much less ANYTHING in the four figure range – and you’ll probably be sitting on that bottle for a LONG time. 🙂

Not trying to be rude…just trying to be helpful in telling you the market, and helping you move the bottle. 🙂

— Ryan

I have 14 Blairs 4am still in original box # 22 to 50 I purchased from them when I used to sell hotsauce. forgot all about them. What do you think they are worth, Steve

Blair’s 4am #69 is on ebay now for anyone that might be interested.
