    Does anyone else find it funny that there is a $100 glass for a beer that specifically states that you should drink it from the can? Or were those instructions not included in the first bottle release?

    Definitely wasn't apart of the label on the bottle. You'd look like a complete asshole drinking straight from a 22 oz. bottle.

    Someone paid $100 for a fucking Willi Becker glass?! :astonished:

    It's a thing with a hole in it to hold liquid. I guess the old adage is true about a fool and his money.

    I just returned from the brewery and noticed they have this guy on frisbees. I told the girl working there I'd like to see him on a limited edition snifter with stem. She said they talk about using him on merchandise and it could happen one of these days.

    Wow, I was at the orginal release and received 2 of those glasses. Sadly, they have both met their demise.

    Nowadays you can just use auction sniper to do that for you and get a good nights sleep.

    It does, but you can't win against the automated snipers, so if anyone is using them you will lose. And everyone is using them. Old school auctions are a thing of the past.

    What if you both use one? Just It just come down to theax bid you entered?

    There are two parts of it - the max bid and the lead time. You can pick a time to start dropping your bids in before the close of the auction. Usually sub 10 seconds. You can go as low as 1 second, but the problem is that if your bid goes at 1 second, then someone else's counters that, your sniper may not have enough time to get another counter in before the auction expires. It all comes down to electron speed. I have moved away from actual bidding now because of the snipers unless it is something I can't find in a "buy it now" auction.
