    You can delete all the comments but that doesn't change the fact that you're still way off.

    Someone was kind enough to reach out to me via PM and point that out, so I changed the original post. I was basing my ask on the fact that I've been able to buy FF at retail for ~$35 twice in the past 12 months.

    I set the ask high to weed out lowballers. "Tire kickers" will shoot low, hoping that 1/1000 will accept. I'd rather not waste time. The offer is negotiable, but nothing is free.

    So BA ISLBS was $70 retail? just making sure that you're not going for the ole Secondary for retail

    Ah, well then you're just $40 short then. I'm basing my comment on that fact that I had many friends that were able to buy BA ISLBS at retail for ~$30 just this past week

    I don’t trade very often, and I’m definitely not up on the current trade values for most beers. I realize retail isn’t secondary isn’t retail. Thanks for the constructive feedback. I don’t have time for drama, I’d rather drink a beer.
    At the time I posted, there was only 1 other person offering BA ISLBS for trade, so the only info I had to go on was that it sold out in <10 minutes. I guessed wrong on my initial estimation of value.

    Wow, $35 is an amazing price so you should consider yourself very fortunate. You should patronize the hell out of that place. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and we get a fair amount of Lambic here (based Off what I have heard from others much more than many other areas) and only once have I seen Fou for $35… Normally it's anywhere from $50-$60 here if you're fortunate enough to find it.

    If you can pull off:

    1 bottle of Mikerphone BA Imperial Smells Like Bean Spirit '20

    In search of: 2 bottles of Fou Foune (or 1+ fresh hops)

    That'd be pretty sweet, I think you might be asking too much though (imo)
    Maybe someone would do a 1 for 1?
    (I say just drink it, it's easier)
