This glass has been to MDM Cons.1&2.
So, who is going to start the bidding at US$20 (plus US$5 postage)? Come on people! This drinking vessel is actual Modern Drunkard history!

All money raised will be going to the memorial fund, it's going to a really godsdamned worthy cause, so loosen those purse strings and start bidding.
N.B. There is a reserve price on this item, which is known only by me and Patchez (the treasurer of The Memorial Fund). The Auction for this item will end at 2359hrs (GMT+1) on the 30th of July 2014. The item will be dispatched to the winning bid (so long as the reserve price has been met) the following day.

Also, if anyone else that has an item that they're willing to put up for auction, please PM or email me a picture and description of the item (along with your reserve price - Please note that, for the sake of ease, all prices should be made in US$) and I'll put it up for auction.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you know that although a straight translation from Hungarian to English renders it "Pálinka Glass". it was made in Hungary during the late communist era. So, it is actually made out of some weird kind of fibreglass. The upside to that is, to my knowlege, it is unbreakable (I have dropped from a balcony three stories up, on to the concrete sidewalk, accidentally run over it and dropped a bookshelf on it without it gaining so much as a scratch. It also appears to be impervious to fire (someone once drunkenly tried use it as an ashtray, and because it still had some 70% ABV Hazipálinka in it, it combusted, but remained undamaged), not to mention the fact that it has survived a lot od baggage-handlers "tender mercies" (after one flight, pretty much everything, including my toothbrush, was destroyed but the pálinka glass remained unscathed).

Such a thing exists? There must be a helluva tale behind the occurrence of the capability of a vessel to travel across them oceans between us, we Drunkards. I've only spoken with a few of you long timers, but your tales of the others are fucking epic
I'm putting in for $21.00 US because it will look fine upon my mantle.
Going to happy hour and not drinking is like going to an orgy and masturbating. You just took a great idea and turned it into a circle jerk. -Sixpack595

I take it that you mean US$27. Is that right?

Flat it be. I won't rest in peace until I have this chalice, filled with the memories of mighty Drunkards who've passed through these gates before us, some who will never return.
