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

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

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.

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.

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

Mad_Reilly on 3/14/2006 at 2:57 pm said:

Shhhhhhhh don’t tell my wife.

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.

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.

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

Whats up peeps’

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!!!!

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

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 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!

mrseman on 3/14/2006 at 9:27 pm said:

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

Chris k…don’t give her any ideas!!

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?

chris k on 3/14/2006 at 9:29 pm said:

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.

eman on 3/14/2006 at 9:31 pm said:

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!

number of your choice on back center

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!

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.

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.

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!

Kristi on 3/14/2006 at 10:31 pm said:

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.

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

That would cause you more pain!

I could sell it as advertising space instead!

nice.

I just dont know, it will take alot of convincing…

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

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

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?

Nick Lindauer on 3/14/2006 at 11:06 pm said:

That definately means I should worry…

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

MSK on 3/14/2006 at 11:13 pm said:

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

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.

Kristi on 3/14/2006 at 11:19 pm said:

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.

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!

Nick Lindauer on 3/14/2006 at 11:23 pm said:

Huh?

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.

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.

Nick Lindauer on 3/14/2006 at 11:27 pm said:

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.

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!
