In short if it still has beer in it, no. Does not matter if it is spoiled or not, it still has beer in it and if I'm not mistaken you can not sell alcohol on ebay.

The only way they will let you sell any beer or liquor is if the total value is in the decantur or container itself, and the fact that it's unopened enhances the value greatly, and the asking price reflects this. Jim Beam decanturs are a very good example. Start one at $9.99 and they will nuke it in a second. Start it at $99.99 and the'll let it ride. In the case of a beer decantur, there are very few that are worth more because they are unopened. Hamm's items are collectible in themselves. It's the bears, not the beer that the collectors want. Drink the beer and relist.

Brimic, Someone prolly turned your auction in. Heres the rules for selling them on eBay. http://tinyurl.com/edyhr

Nope, I was wrong. You should be able to sell them. Here is a copy of the alcohol policy concerning collectibles.
eBay does not permit the sale of alcoholic beverages on its U. S. website, except for certain pre-approved sales of wine (see Additional Information) and certain sales of collectible containers. Further, non-U.S. members may not conduct alcohol sales with any eBay member residing in the United States.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including
*
Listing cancellation
*
Limits on account privileges
*
Account suspension
*
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
*
Loss of PowerSeller status
Some Examples Hide
Collectible Containers
We will permit sales of unopened collectible containers that still contain alcohol as long as each of the following conditions are met and stated verbatim in the listing:
*
The value of the item is in the collectible container, not its contents. (Bottles of wine are not permitted, as their value is generally based on the wine in the bottle rather than the bottle itself.)
*
The container has not been opened and any incidental contents are not intended for consumption.
*
The item is not available at any retail outlet, and the container has a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the alcohol in the container.
*
The seller will take all appropriate steps to ensure that the buyer is of lawful age in the buyer and seller's jurisdiction (generally 21 years of age).
*
Buyers and sellers both ensure that the sale complies with all applicable laws and shipping regulations.
Alcohol-Related Collectibles
eBay permits the sale of alcohol-related collectibles, including alcohol-related memorabilia, packaging and containers such as bottles, decanters or limited edition cans (provided you comply with the above collectible container sale guidelines).
Selling rare wine on Live Auctions
eBay permits the sale of wine on Live Auctions by licensed auction houses and dealers, because we can be sure that the potential problems regarding alcohol sales can be overcome through careful vetting of licenses and procedures. If you as an individual want to sell alcohol on Live Auctions, we suggest that you contact one of the authorized sellers on the site.
Selling Chocolates with Liqueur in them
Food products that use alcohol for flavor do not fall within these laws and regulations
Selling Wine- and Beer-Making Kits
Wine and beer-making kits will continue to be allowed on eBay, as long as the kit does not contain any alcoholic beverages. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein
