Basically when you take a pic upside down on your phone (iPhone maybe?), and you see your phone correct it by flipping it, it does not change the file. There is some correction software in the phone that does not alter the file so it is technically upside down. Or something like that. I'm sure a techie could explain but this is my guess. You were holding your phone the upside down way, right?

Looks nice!  But $20 for 3 bottles seems a little steep to me!  I'm just being honest.

I sold a bunch of stuff today (yay me!).  with poor location and limited foot traffic where the vendors were, I still sold about 5 of the 3-boxes and a bunch of single units.
 
I may adjust the price later, but I went with what I thought was a fair price based off my cost of goods.  But more importantly was the networking connections I made.  The PA Pimped out my stuff every hour and that would bring people by.  The food truck guy wanted my sauce to do future stuff with.
 
Sunburnt but overall a great day.  I need an EZ up

I like it.
 
One of the issues I am still battling with my display/presentation is finding a way to combat the potential wind factor.
Early into the FM season, it was very windy the first few weekends, and my set-up didn't have 'walls', so I had to be creative and always be ultra careful when the winds picked up to prevent bottles from falling off my display and breaking....I had minimal breakage, but several months later I am still looking into different options. I like what you did with the wood crates....I guess I'm looking for something more in the metal realm....
 
something like this....on it's side

If you can nest one inside the other... it should work well.  It's more of the illusion of being a massive crate but as others pointed out (and helped guide me on my design) that you can replenish it. The key things I went for:
 
price (didn't want to exceed $50)
easy to configure (can break it down or move it without having to restack it again and again full of bottles) - I can leave all the bottles in it when nesting
didn't block the logo or bottle front above the word CINDER
had the ability to have layers
looked hand-made or something that I took the time to design
weighted enough to not move if the table was jostled (I can also put a brick in the bottom if need be)

Looks good, I like the unfinished look as opposed to painting it or something. The shredded stuff is a nice touch. Might want to line it with some kind of paper though to keep the shredded stuff from falling out in your car?

same simple nesting design with a couple angle brackets on the corners or the angle brackets and some plumbers tape to pull it all together (literally...)  can bring in the industrial look.
