Hi Rachel, if you were to buy a bottle of the Glenmorangie 1971 150th Anniversary from a shop you would pay around £900 but in a private sale or auction you would pay around half that amount. Here is an example of a bottle which sold at auction in May this year for £460:

don't forget you would have postage, auction costs and taxes to consider if selling at auction.

Thank you, very helpful advice Mark.

don't forget rachael the seller had to pay fees out of the £ 460 usually about 10% and vat sometimes averages about 10 -20 I could be wrong its only a guide
it varies per auction company and you need to check if you decide to auction it
these were about £ 60.00 when first came out I bought case and drunk most of mine if only we all had hindsight

I've added the historic auction prices here. http://www.whiskyvaluations.uk/bottles/glenmorangie-1971-limited-bottling-150th-anniversary

Looks like the auction sale price has risen about £100 in the last three years.
