    FF - Generally $35 of limited releases (retails from around $30 - $45 in the USA)

    Herfst - Generally $4$ of limited releases (retail is really high, and can currently be purchased internationally for something like $70/bottle after shipping)

    If you haven't had those beers already you really should just drink them. I can assure you that 99% of beers you might get in return for those bottles won't taste nearly as good.

    You should be able to get BCBVS for the herfst. I traded a BCBVS for a Lente just last week.

    No as you can order hefst online in quite a few places. I think even bcbvs might be pretty tough for any of the seasons except lente which is much tougher to land at this point than the other three.

    No. The only reason a Herfst can even land Vanilla right now is because of the cost differential. Lente is the only one of the 4 that is even mildly difficult to still get, and even then, it's not gone yet. Rare is so expensive that it's on par with Herfst, and given that you can still get Herfst with the click of a button, nobody is going to give it up.

    This might not be that helpful, but I landed a Rare with a package that included Fou Foune. So if you find the right person and add some limited stuff it could get done. (The other beers I traded were Adam from the Wood and another Cantillon, I think a Lou Pepe Gueuze.)

    The most recent vintage? I would, too, but unfortunately, I don't think that's reality. Personally, I'd never do the trade the other way around.

    Why wouldn't it? My best trade bait are beers that contain "Bourbon County" in the name.
