Screaming Eagle Second Flight Prices

Screaming Eagle Second Flight wine is finding its way onto the secondary market, and the prices are becoming clear.  The bid/ask spread appears to be $400/$500 for any given bottle of the 2006-2009 vertical.  The Screaming Eagle winery introduced Second Flight in September, and offered the 8-bottle packs for $250/bottle (price includes tax and shipping to New York; your mileage may vary).  The highest "bid" for Second Flight appears in the WineCommune.com pricefile at $400; other bids were generally North of $350.  As of this writing, 128 bottles have been sold on WineCommune, with an average price of $376/bottle.

Wine-searcher.com revealed the cheapest "ask", currently $499/bottle from Wally's in CA.  Other asks are currently not higher than $675.

Second Flight has not yet been rated by any professional wine critic, so there remains at least one obvious opportunity for price movement.
