I guess you are asking if it is a good deal?

Somehow I clicked the say it button before I was ready to say it. Sometimes I wish I could delete some posts! haha

I think you can tell by the lack of straight answers to your questions on pricing- I would have only to give an “opinion” on it, prices are what you make of them. If you can afford it and depending on how bad you want it, the prices are ok. Can you find both of those products cheaper- yeah probably, with some work and some networking here, but how bad to you want to get your hands on them. I look at it as an investment= buy, trade and sell. If you can swing the price now grab it, if you come across it again down the line for less money you could always sell what you have, try and trade it, or just upgrade to two of them. It is a very hard question to answer and no one wants to say “yes” and next week see it for cheaper and feel they may have steered you wrong, I wouldn’t want that to happen to me.

Vic Thank you very much for your input. Guess I’am looking for that first push. I bought some sauce local. Next step play with big boys. I hope to fun with this like you all do. Keep up the good work. Tim

Hey Tim, we all started small and as time grows so does the collection. This Blog is the best thing to have happened to the Hot Sauce Collecting Community, you here it over and over in the comments from so many people from regular Joe’s, to growers, to producers, the skilled and the novice. I have learned so much by just sitting back and reading what all of these folks are doing. I also am pretty new to the E-bay thing, my Wife pursues that angle, I still love the “Hunt”- stopping in stores, markets, and such looking for unique bottles and small manf. or other country’s of origin. I think your doing the right thing by checking in here, there is a huge amount of knowledge anyone can pick up on and Nick is a “Fountain of Information”- any question I have ever thrown his way, no matter how obscure, he has always gotten me an answer or pointed me in the direction to get the answer. There are a lot of stand up folks who frequent this blog who offer and give help all the time. If there is ever anything I can do to help you out- E-mail Nick and request my address, I’ll see what I can do……………….Vic

Agreed. I am somewhat of a collector as well, albeit very focused on what I want. It’s fun in the beginning as the price of things isn’t that high, then come the hard-to-fill spots in the collection when you have to crack the wallet. I think the info Vic got was right on, it depends how much you really want it.

Thank you guys. This is cool……I mean HOT…

I think each bottle in your collection is as valuable as you deem it to be. What I mean is, determine what you are looking for, then put some feelers out and see what things are going for on ebay and at hot sauce stores. I think the best deals are at Sweat -n- Spice. Most importantly, is that if you don’t mind paying a price for a bottle, the only one it makes a difference to is yourself. I know that I have paid some pretty hefty amounts for some of the bottles in my collection, but I didn’t mind that much. Of course I am always looking for a deal or a cheaper price, but thats what research is for. You can never research a product enough so that you will know a good deal when you see it.

Very helpful info being given out here. If you have deep pockets you can have just about any bottle you want, if not then like Vic stated you my have to hunt or by chance just stumble across that special bottle. It also depends on what you are looking for all of one # or are you just happy to score any # of a limited edition.

Good luck and happy collecting !!!!!

Hello to all that read this, I have been logging on to the web site for about a week now. I am using my initials that were used to identify my bottles of n-59. To answer a few questions about me I did have a entry in the cutting room floor contest With pictures of my collection, myself, my son, and my grandson in it. I have not sold or traded any of my collection but did say I would be willing to do some trades. I must say that untill the cutting room floor contest came along I had no idea how big the chilehead world is. Now after being turned on to this web-site (thank you pmac) I am realizing it is still even bigger than I ever imagined. I have already gotten hooked on the site and find myself anxious to read all the comments. It sounds like everybody is pretty commited to each other and I hope to join in and be a part of this community.

I hope that tells you a little bit about me, and if you don’t mind I would like to ask for some info: I will be in Las Vegas playing in a softball tournament this weekend and I will have a little time to burn. Does anybody know where any hot sauce stores are in Vegas?

Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any leads on stores in Vegas.

MR

Hey Jim I bought a couple of your sauces this weekend the bear and the red savina sauce.

Thanks Tim! I hope you enjoy them. If you ordered them online, chances are real good that I threw in a free one for you to try also.

No I got them in a store in Cincinnati.

Hello all, tried to introduce myself earlier but I didn’t see any thing come through. I am using these initials as they were used to identify my bottles of N-59. I am going to send this and if it goes through I will re-introduce myself. Looking forward to communicating with you all.

Sorry, I’m trying to learn how to do this, The initials are MR

Well let me try this again, hopefully I get it right. I want to introduce myself to you all and decided to use my initials MR as pmac used them to ID my bottles of N-59. I have been logging in on the HSB web site for about a week now and reading different topics and your comments. I never knew how big of a chilehead community is out there untill I started reading all the entries in the cutting room floor and now on this web site. I am hooked already and always look forward to logging on. I hope I can get involved and be a part of this community. I always talk about and try to spread the heat with friends, family, and co-workers but Most of them just don’t get it. Well I hope to get to know everybody on this site and eventually meeting some of you at fiery food festivals and shows.
Thanks,MR

Hi MR. From what Ive seen already I see you have an awesome collection (from the N-59s alone)! I know what you mean about the friends and family not getting it, mine just keep trying to make me sell my collection. If I do sell a bottle, it will only be to get another of something I need.

Thanks for the welcome, heading out to work but like I said I am already hooked on this site and had to check it out before I walked out the door. Looking forward to getting back on it later.

Hope everybody has a great day
MR

It’s actually not a bad idea to have your collections appraised. Just in case. If you have the original receipts, it makes it a lot easier to have the ‘market adjustment’ added to it.

pmac looks like fire sale.Our my monthly clearance sale Jungle Jim’s. MSK got a few sauce for under 1.00. when he stop at the store last week. good luck on your sale. Peace Bret

Uh huh, yeah. Let’s see… original receipt for the Beyond Death was about $2.85 & now I’m claiming it as $1,200 + in 10 years? Insurance man will like *that* one, no doubt!

Good afternoon John! Hope all is well. Glad to hear. She will like seeing the compliments. Hasen’t seen them yet. She is really quite shy. Well unless you get her into a few beers Then all hell breaks loose. This is why I really want to take her to one of these shows one weekend. Time and money the only two factors holding us back still

Hey CaJohn- we received our package yesterday, thank you so much for making it happen. You did not have to do that, we could have waited for the bottles to come in. What a beautiful product that is, I had not seen one in person- just on line, man it looks great on the shelf, thanks again from both me and Wendy.

Thank you for understanding that I was just knock out by her ((beauty))

I swear that there were three bears! Actually, I believe that it was Wanza who saw them first. She grabbed my camera and took a pic. Still can’t figure out why the bears didn’t show up in the pic!

CaJohn said as she was snapping the pic they were headed into the woods, which is prolly how they missed being in the pic…..then again, you all could be crazy too

Yea prolly so. They were probably scared off by all of the commotion inside of the car. It was all that CaJohn and I could do, to hold back MSK from attacking those poor helpless animals..

Maybe THATS why he was frantically trying to leap from the car. He just wanted his noggin signed by the three bears!!!

Actually I wanted Tracy and I to try an experiment. Mrs. CaJohn told us if we ever encountered a bear to raise our arms high in the air and make lots of noise to make ourselves appear larger than the bear. Also…If the it attacks, punch him in the nose! With Tracy for an assistant, it seemed logical and sensible to test the theory. For the life of me I don’t know why Tracy was so against it. Afterall…I volunteered to be the one to make myself look larger! All he had to do was punch the damn bear’s nose!
