If you take a look in any chain supermarket, St. Felicien retails for about $70,00 per bottle for the standard varieties and goes up from there. If someone is selling St. Felicien for $42,00 it is most likely stolen from a truck, which happens all the time here. The average markup on wine is 25-30%, not more.
I am not one to judge people, however when people come into my shop offering stolen merchandise, I turn them away. I won't be a party to crime if I can help it. How many times have the guys who deliver things to my store been held up, have their truck full of merchandise stolen, been stripped down to their underwear and left on the side of the road. One guy was even killed for a van full of cigarettes.
I pick and choose where I buy for a variety of reasons, quality, confiability, "onda" with the store and staff, etc. I don't find stores where people are paid in negro, the owner lives / sleeps in the back of the store, origin of merchandise is questionable, don't accept credit or debit cards, etc. I know it's important to save money, but there are other ways like shopping on discount days, credit card points, wholesale purchases, etc.
