T-99 Update & Other Questions Answered by Blair
Posted on 09.03.06 by Nick Lindauer @ 7:40 am | Comments: |
« « Previous | Sunday’s Hot Sauce Comic #16 » »

In case you missed the discussion here last night, Blair gave us some interesting information in regards to the T-99 status for Zest Fest. Below is the meat of the conversation but if your curious you can see it in it’s entirety on the Collector’s ZF Thread.

Part 1:
OK….So here is the Deal….All the T-99 are Finsihed…4 Different looking bottles…..25 Gold Topped, 25 Blue Topped, 25 Platinum Topped and 24 White topped. All have a 24k Gold Skull and a Hand engraved Brass number plate….Plus each label has Two coded messages that can only be complete with the TrilogySet. -Texas-halloween-Holiday—That is Part one

Part 2:

These Bottles are Massive 3 1/2 times the Size of a 2am Etc. I have great concern about shipping 99 Bottles to Texas (Breaking) Hours and Hours have gone into these bottles—Also With the added Airport issues my Chilipals would not be able to carryon these bottles…After lots of thinking I have decided not to send to Texas

Part 3:
So here is the Deal—They will still only be available for purchase at the Texas Show. You will receive a voucher with your purchase after you fill out shipping info…Then Within 5 days after the show Every bottle will be packaged and shipped with the proper protection at no additional charge. I will have one of each style at the show for Display. I hope this plan makes everyone happy. I feel it is really in the very interest of my Chilipals. I would hate more than anything for you to purchase one of these very special bottles only to have it wrecked in your bags….Please let me know your thoughts

I of course wanted everyone to be able to take their bottle home with them and believe me it would be easier than shipping 99 bottles around the country for free. But it would suck to get a call from a Chilipal after they got home from the show that their bottle broke from an Airline. So I am certain this is the best way.

This was my call…I will not charge anyone for shipping their bottle….Problem For us is….The Displays had been sent on the pallet.So Now We have to figure that situation out…These are Custom Jumbo Displays….Sent weeks ago..I made the call to not ship the bottles VIA UPS AIR on Firday….

On another note
We had planned our new site to launch Yesterday…..But still tweaking it…I cannot wait for everyone to see what has been going on…I have brought some wonderful new people to Blairs and have the best crew working with I could have ever hoped for. The site will have Bio’s on all 14 of my inner core crew that make what I do so much fun….Plus Our Entire new Company -Blair Labs Inc. Opening November 2006

Blair, whats the scoville on the T-99?
The T-99 has many layers…Rnaging from 480k on the base—then 1.6 mill—then 6.4 mill….Then 10 mill..Then I Sprinkled a Few Micro Grams of 16 Million Crystals on top. (Just for the Karma of it)

Also, I got a card in the mail today saying the wing sauce is available, I havnt seen it on the web site yet…is it ready?

My Wing Sauce Was finished bottled and done….I have to say everyone thought it was great I thought I could do better. We Trashed 200 cases of Wing Sauce. Not the First time I have done that…
The 200 cases was a Test Batch…..Like I said it happens…..I am remaking it .Should be out soon…..

Anything else on the radar for new products?

YES….1st Wing Sauce ( As you can see)….A mini 4 pack of the Heat Sauces in Early October. New Chip Flavor sometime in October. New SuperHot Before 2007. And the opening of Blair Labs. Something that has been in the works for almost 4 years

So …No better group to ask than HSB. How Should I decide on who to offer the 4 bottles of T-99 that will be at the show. give me some ideas Please!

Wow! Sounds like I missed a good one. But I was at the Auburn Washington State game and I would never have missed that! I love college football!

I can’t wait for ZF though. I get more excited every day. I do think that Blair is doing the best thing as far as shipping the T-99 goes. Less moving it around decreases the possiblity for damage.

I’m sure the game was good, but yeah it was great having Blair on for a while. Definately the best way to go, Jim is going to be shipping one of his too.

Surpise surprise. Only 99 bottles, 4 different wax jobs and such. 99/4=24.75 of each wax job. So are the fractioned bottles going to be worth more? Wait, that’s not possible. And last I heard, its only 2 per person. This just means yet again, there are going to be a select few that receive some “soecial” bottles that of course are going to be worth more on the secondary market than the others. So once again, people will be paying for the same thing, but not receiving the same thing. If each and every one of us had a business and were purchasing these for retail purposes, unless we were divided into different classes, this would be considered anti-trust. Now a lot of these will be purchased for resale, we all know it. So are the people with actual retail establishments going to get different bottles than the people that are just collecting and/or selling on ebay?

Anyone that is planning on purchasing collectible bottles at ZF should have already planned on having their purchases shipped home via UPS or other carrier. So to be able to purchase at the show shouuld be no problem, because I honestly don’t believe that anyone is going down there strictly to get the T-99. People could just ship it back with the rest of their stuff.

As a consumer, if I went to a car dealership and decided to purchase the same car as another person - with all the same bells and whistles - I would expect that if we paid the same amount of money, we would both get the same car. That is not the case with Blair anymore. If Blair were an auto dealer, we would all pay the same amount of money, but some would be gettting the base model, while others were getting all the upgrades, which on the secondary auto market, guess who’s would be worth more after driving it 10,000 miles? Same thing with jewelery. If me and the guy behind me pay the same amount of money for a diamond, but I get a 1/4 ct SI1 clarity D color round cut and the next guy gets the same quality in 1ct…there’s a bit of a problem there. Its called poor business practice. I know the BBB would have something to say about it as well.

I’m not trying to sway anyone from buying one of these, I’m just saying that its not right to sell 4 different items under the same name, at the same price, that have different values. That’s bad karma in my book, but that’s just me.

sounds like a good idea to me. but also make it equally fair to everyone in that catagory too. maybe like a pick a number between 1 and 1,000 or have Blair put so many skulls in a jar, take a picture of it and have those people email him and guess the number. i just believe that it should be equal. and also about the mailing thing, i support Blair’s decision 110%.
adios from generallee and thanks again Blair for giving me a search to acquire yet another one of your awesome bottles.

I might be dumb but bottles that are alike except that they are
in different colors, how does one color cause it to be more valuable
than the other. With all else the same. It is not the same as with
the Firecrackers where there was a BIG DIFFERENCE.

i understand 100%. now you know what is going to happen…
everyone is going to want one of each color and the next thing that will happen is they will be selling for $500 plus on ebay and us poor collectors will never be able to have the complete set of every Blair bottle that was released. i cant wait til the holiday and halloween bottles come out then hopefully they will all be the same and the only fighting will be for the low numbers. me personally, i would just like to be a lucky one with all the bottle whatever the number is.

general, i think they will prob sell for $500+ period as there is only 99, and you have to be at ZF to get one.

Salsa is awesome, you should be getting yours this week. Just picked another 15 lbs. of habbys. That is 30 lbs this year so far. Turned my 45 lbs of jalapenos into mash and did that with my first 15 lbs. of habbys. Pretty sure that is what I will do with 15 lbs.I just picked. Going to be busy tomorrow canning.

Just remember, it’s an endurance run, the Cash Creww treats it like a 1/4 miler, but they CAN hang! just hang back and let them burn themselves out (I’ve never seen them do it, heard stories about Danny and the porcelain altar) it really will be a great time. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!

by the way, i forgot to tell you, the last guy that i heard order the hottest Los dos Molinos could make it (my favorite order) it turned his tongue black. dont know the medical term for that but it sounds like you cant take a shot of jack daniels and rub some dirt on it and it’l be gone the next morn.

trust me, if i fall all the way of the wagon, i will have to take my time. i’m sure i lost my immunity and endurance…. but i’ll make sure i hang..
