That is how much the state charges the lucky winner of the lottery

Depending on what county you live in and the demand the sky is the
limit when you want to buy one.
Typically the state requires you to actually operate under the
license
for a while before you can sell it, to avoid speculators.

Cite?

Which state?

You said Florida.

You can just google this yourself if you want
Try cost liquor license state

I did, and posted the fees for Florida.

You didn't look far enough to see they only issue new licenses every
10 years after each census (if the population actually goes up) and
they are doled out in a lottery. After that it is a seller's market.

The average price for a license is up in 6 figures depending in which
county you are talking about

Only resale maybe. The license costs have already be documented,
you're just trying to slime your way out of being wrong.

That is the only place you can get a license unless you win it in the
once a decade lottery.

Which has nothing to do with getting a license from the state.
Something you're trying to claim you never said. Well, as usual, you
talk in generalities with no justification.

It's like claiming that it costs hundreds of dollars to pay a round of
golf. Well, yeah, if you including buying clubs.

The license is a couple of grand maybe, depending on the type. Then
when you get it you'll have an investment opportunity.

Try making some sense next time.
==========================

Depending on the county in California that couple of grand could be 100
grand. About 45 years ago, friend ran a liquor store in Concord, CA. He
and wife had a great week. Went to Las Vegas and came back with a $1000
more than they left town with after all expenses, and they both entered the
liquor license lotto. Both got drawn. At that time the lotto was about $200
to enter and I think the license was about $5000. You had to run the new
store for a year before the license could be transferred to someone else.
At that time a license in Contra Costa County sold for about $100,000, plus
the store stock. I think there was about a 2% chance of winning in the
lotto. That is the real cost of a license, not the state sold cost, which
is near impossible to get. San Francisco licenses are actually cheap, and
you can not transfer out of county. They are issued per number of residents
and during WW2 SF had a huge population, so lots of licenses were issued.
Much smaller population now, but number of licenses does not decrease.

Nope. Not true. The cost is the Fed, state, and local fees and doesn't
add up to 100K. A few thousand.. that's it. Private sales are
different, but that has nothing to do with getting a license.

I love you're quoting something from 45 years ago... like that has any
relevence.

It's like saying the real cost of getting a license plate sticker
includes the price of the car. Complete bs. You and Gretwel should get
a room.
