We've seen airlines liquidate all kinds of excess inventory during the pandemic, ranging from mixed nuts, to pajamas, to gin. However, Qantas has arguably put the coolest thing yet on sale... go figure it's sold out already, and was only available for shipping within Australia anyway. Qantas recently retired its remaining Boeing 747 aircraft, and…

Unless your plane crashed on a deserted island. An airline beverage cart and liquor miniatures should never be used outside of a plane.
For what it’s worth, I got a case of their business class champagne (Jacquart, it also seems to be the champagne that comes in that drinks cart) delivered for nearly half off last week through a secret label deal at Kemenys, an Australian liquor retailer.
Box complete with the Qantas Inflight stickers on the sides of the box and the Qantas logos (instead of barcodes) on the bottles.

They are auctioning off more so watch this space. Personally I think they are ugly. I’m hoping they run another flight to nowhere on their Dreamliner but this time from Melbourne.
This seems about right, wont be needing them anymore. I see Oz has gone full police state so I am sure they will never be allowed to travel again.
This was a bargain. I seem to remember CX selling empty carts in their duty free, before covid19, for about £2,500 equivalent (but I could be wrong!)
@august you have no idea. On Oct 30th, I was supposed to leave for a 4 month holiday that included Antarctica, Galapagos, Calala and finished with skiing in the US. Now I am counting down to Oct 26th - when I can drive more than 5kms (~3.1miles) . We had 15 new cases yesterday in Melbourne. The problem is, whether we like it (and the premier) or not, no other place in Australia will let us in - so we have no choice.
I will ad - I am healthy and I have a job. I try to remind myself of this often - cause so many people I know have lost their job. I have had some long stays at hotels in Australia and have become friends with staff. Most of them have now been made redundant. So incredibly sad.
Just ordered mine, always wanted a bit of a plane!
Don't drink wine so I suspect I'll be EBaying some and Christmas presents are sorted..
AA sells them to employees for charity. Got my own little piece of the MD80 in my house. These make great avgeek furniture pieces.
I bought one of the AA bar carts a few months ago - they gave a truck load of the old carts to a flight attendant charity and they were selling them for $200. I’m cleaning it up and I ordered 100 mini bottles to stock it. Makes a fun conversation piece in my home.
My daughter wants to buy one for me. Where can I buy one for a reasonable price?
