Beat still at RR

: puts away pitchfork:

still kind of shitty to back out, but that's a lot less sensational than grbrew was saying.

 

it's cool of you to stick up for him. maybe my impression of his iso's is wrong.

 

We have a difference of opinion on whether this trade was locked in or not. If he thinks it wasn't then I guess it wasn't. So long as neither has shipped yet there is no harm. I will look out for another trader for beat.

Also, notice that I never mentioned pwnzilla in my post. I was moving on.

 

It's stupid Mia communication on if a trade was actually set up or a potential trade was setup. He didn't use my name but I still have my pride and when I know stuff is being said about my character I will get defensive. It's just beer and my birthday. Time to celebrate

 

It is just beer and happy birthday.

 

I thought this thread would have died by now. Is there anymore Beat left at the pub right now, 1824 EST? I have seen no updates other than when this thread started. I have my bottles on the way already so...just curious?

 

Happy Birthday! If no trade was agreed upon then no big deal. Nobody shipped, so no harm no foul. Drink a Beatification for your birthday since I can't get any, at least someone can drink some.

 

Might have to after all this talk

 

As of a little while ago, it is still available.

 

but you don't know about at right this moment do ya? haha

 

As of an hour ago:

We will also have bottles of Beatification left for sale and consumption- we have not gone through it all yet!"​

Sounds like they won't run out today.

 

I don't think it's necessarily that people are even getting less generous, just that less beer is available. I've extra'd a ton of KBS over the past year+ I've traded, but got completely shut out this year and will have to trade to even get a 4-pack for myself. I'm lucky enough to be able to get 1 of a special release anymore.

While some people may be motivated by greed, some newbies probably just don't know any better. They see everyone throwing up trades and want in on the action. When I first started trading, I ISO'd Kate for DL a few times. 2 brewery only imperial stouts. Sounds pretty fair right? I didn't know any better at the time.

 

Who wants to go to the brewery and pick me up some Beatification?!

 

after this one's done, i got next...

 

I make it sound good, but my "better things to do" involves laundry and taxes. It's all in the delivery.

 

Oh god I still need to do my taxes. Why do I keep forgetting (other than the obvious)?

 

Yeah, it's not like you have a strong math background from one of the best universities in the world.

 

I know I can do it, I just keep forgetting to do it.

 

I think it's pretty annoying that the same people that defend 'price gouging' in the name of free market capitalism also gripe about absurd trade offers and ebay sales... Joe Sixpack can charge whatever he wants for the latest limited beer release at his bottle shop because it's a free market, but don't even think about artificially inflating prices on the auction site! Give me a break.

 

...What? Who said anything remotely like that?
