    Hint #7: My target is in luck just scored another one of their wants, and picked up an Abraxas (not a want but hopefully graciously accepted)

    Just snagged 4 bottles this weekend hoping to pick up another one or two tomorrow.

    Currently working out the final details of a trade for a BA version of the "want" referenced in Hint 2. The non-BA version is expected to land here in the next 2 weeks. Right now I'm at 178oz with a rating of 90.25. The 2 wants I mentioned are currently on the top 20 new beers list on the site, and will bring the avg rating for the box up to 95.75.

    Hint 1: Shipping northeast
    Hint 2: Pink wax (referring to the "want" mentioned in my last post)
    Hint 3: The company I work for operates in my target's state

    Hint 4: I've shipped to my target's state before

    Hint 1: I'm shipping east
    Hint 2: I'm shipping to a higher latitude than I
    Hint 3: My target has been on BA longer than I
    Hint 4: My target lives in a state smaller than mine, both by square mileage and by population
    Hint 5: My target has updated wants in the past 7 days, and just made my job easier than it already was. Wants are going to get CRUSHED
    Hint 6: Including this hint, I have posted more on this thread than my target.
    Hint 7: My target is in a blue state.
    Hint 8: I am currently in Minneapolis, and traveling to Chicago today. Hypothetically if I were to ship later today, Hint #1 would still be valid.

    Hint 1: shipping east
    Hint 2: my target has way more trading experience then me.
    Hint 3: my target has posted in this thread.
    Hint 4: my targets shirt size is smaller then XXL
    Hint 5: My targets state does not get fifty fifty distro.

    Whats funny is according to seekabrew CA get limited fifty fifty distro and their brewery is in CA. Good thing I am flying home for Thanksgiving and that means only about an hour car ride and I'll be at the brewery. So it's only right that I put some dark fifty fifty brews into my targets box. The only bad news is you'll have to wait untill my road trip is over for me to ship (Dec 1st)

    And another potential sender gets crossed off.
    I didn't realize that it had been so long since I'd posted a hint.

    Hint #1: I have never shipped to, or received beer from my target.
    Hint #2: I have been to my targets state once, for 45 minutes in 1991 while changing planes. From what I remember, it was nice.
    Hint #3: My target's target should be happy, there are a couple of breweries within 10-15 miles of my target that produce some pretty sought after beers.
    Hint #4: My target's avatar is not beer related.
    Hint #5: One of my company's largest suppliers is headquartered in my target's state. The name of the state is actually part of this well known company's name although most people know them better by their initials.
    Hint #6: Much like CTJman, I was dismayed to see it snowing when I woke up this morning. To my target, this would probably be no big deal.

    Hint #7: My favorite hockey play hails from my target's state. Known more for his fisticuffs than his scoring abilities he was later a coach and GM in the NHL. The number in my screen name is in tribute to him.

    Hint #4 (I think): A good number of my target's wants appear to be from a previous BIF, and I'm not sure if they are REAL wants, or just wants added for the sake of that BIF.

    the people still on my list as my potential senders haven't posted too much. Hopefully they get a chance to coming up.
