Maker's Mark Collectible Bottles for Sale on eBay: Finding a Great Deal
Whether you're a true Maker's Mark aficionado or just like rare liquor bottles, eBay is a veritable gold mine of items. If you're searching for the classic clear bottle with a red wax cap or even for a rare collectible edition, chances are you'll find at least one of the type you've been seeking. Here are some tips for finding the right bottle.
Are there standard Makers Mark collectible bottles?Even without being a special edition, a regular Maker's Mark bottle is a sight to behold. However, as you navigate the field of potential buys, there are a few things to look for:
- Age of the bottle: As you search, keep an eye out for older bottles. The bottle design hasn't changed much over the years, but an older version may be more valuable.
- Bottle size: You'll largely see three different sizes offered: 750mL, 350mL, and 50mL. See the manufacturer site for details. Be sure to double-check what size you're getting before purchase.
- Mixed-size lots: If you want an assortment of bottles, you will likely see a few small lots of these bottles sold. Many will offer different sizes.
While the usual bottle design is stunning as-is, Maker's is known for periodic unique bottle designs. Here are some of the collectible editions you might find on eBay:
- Justify: Any new or used Maker's Mark Justify bottle for sale is a relatively recent make — these were made to celebrate racehorse Justify's sweep of the Triple Crown.
- University of Kentucky: There are five bottles in the recent series of UK Makers Mark bottles for sale. These were created to honor the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team.
- Denim: This is an older bottle honoring the Wildcats. Upon their NCAA win in 1996, Maker's released a blue-labeled bottle. The 1996 Maker's Mark UK bottle value is one that continues to rise thanks to Kentucky's dedicated fans.
- Red, white, and blue: This bottle was made to encourage and publicize the 2008 Rock the Vote campaign.
These are some of the less common Makers Mark bottles eBay has to offer. They're scarce because they were designed as liquor store displays. This means they have the appearance of being full of liquor, and they're sealed. Some of these display bottles also come with decorative stands for an added touch of distinction. Since display pieces are usually part of a very limited run, these bottles tend to command somewhat higher prices than other Makers Mark collectible bottles for sale.
