The Most Expensive Group Buy (Pu'erh)

I thought the $6,000 Teavana purchase was hard to organize… this one makes it look easy.

So, who would like to donate part of their 401k so I can get this rolling :p

It will be 10g each. There will be slots for 24 people.
250g between 25 people is $1164.04 per person. Since this is a very special order the shipping will add a bit more because I would like signatures on delivery with insurance.
I’m being serious… but at the same time I am not; I don’t even have a way to pay the $29,101 upfront nor would I :/

It says you can make an offer, try $20. It’s probably fake anyway.

Allan… due to the kind of person I am: I actually followed your suggestion, though you were probably just joking.

Did they give you a counteroffer?

I haven’t seen anything yet. If the cake is real, which it may be since the seller has many older pu’er cakes (but what do I know?), they will probably just laugh and move on.

Generation tea. If you research you can find some reviews of them. I will also donate $20.00 to the cause. Now it’s up to $40.00

I would not do this off EBay. Use a reputable dealer like white2tea for the high end stuff.

Well, there was this time when I looked over at my friend as I was driving to ask if they were ready as I tugged my seat belt and they put theirs on pretty quick before I dropped from 5th gear to 2nd… other than that, I’m not sure if I am a serious guy.

Hehe, I know of a place selling a real 1950’s cake and it’s significantly over 100k

Edit: It’s 97,000

Good news, there are 2 available! So if you really like it and need another chunk for the stash, you can organize a more exclusive purchase of the second cake.
