Trade Value Thread (2020)

This is so depressing. Been trying to find LPK forever and I don't even have the firepower to try in the first place, but I never see it anyway.

 

What’s the ratio on Tete 16 and 18 for a Michters 10? I’m trading the Michters. Thanks.

 

To know the value for the M10 it would depend on if it's the rye or bourbon and the year.

 

It's the 10 yr bourbon, barrel # 20F1314.

 

Before people started the latest bourbon boom I'd say they were pretty close in value, but with people losing their minds for bourbon right now you could definitely ask for a plus on either. Not really sure on the size of the plus, but I think a recent fruited fermier could be asked for. I don't think you'd be able to get 2 of either, that would take a Weller FP SP likely. If other's have a better idea then me by all means chime in.

 

Interesting. I have a WFP as well but last time I asked about Tete I was quoted 1+. Was not sure if the Michters 10 held a higher value or not. On sheer retail, I'll let someone else buy the Michters if it's 1+:1.

 

I am by no means the best at values but I can confirm that about a month and a half ago a WFP SP was traded for 2 Tete v18.

 

If I wasn't picky about the specific Voodoo BM and Aphotic, what sort of plus to land both would be needed on my end if I started with Achro Vibes? Are there any BM's or Aphotics to avoid as it seems like there's a decent variance in value? Mainly want to try more of these so not hung up on targeting specific ones.

 

This might not help you with value but if you're interested in Voodoo I found the Zangief series to be as good as or in some cases better than a lot of the BMs. They're valued similarly to the Aphotics and lower end BMs

 

Thanks for the heads up as I'm pretty new to Voodoo so don't know much beyond the two lines I mentioned.

 

If I have a Weller 12, could I trade it 1:1 for ADWTD?

 

You should be able to trade 1:1 for the 2017 ADWTD bottle. If you're looking for the 2020 ADWTD can, you could ask for a solid plus. Personally, I thought the 2020 can was a letdown.

 

Looks like Achro would be around 1:1 with the more recent Magicks (white, condom, aqua, or purple, which are all around the same value). Echoing @AlexIrigoyen, rye zangief is awesome and trades lower than BMs. The Hot Garbage bottles are great as well, and again are easier to land than BMs.

 

Thank you, just what I wanted to hear!

 

What's it taking to land Rye BBT lately? Hardly ever see them move. Usually just offers followed by crickets (including mine!) Would an offer of North park triple vanilla macaroons before dying, DB BCS, MT Modem Tones Ethereal Mounds Rye (lotto bottle), and MT Modem tones Ethereal Mounds (4:1) get conversation started or am I way off?

 

I'm convinced that SP stouts no longer trade for anything other than bourbon. I think you're fighting an uphill battle trying to trade beer for beer. Last beer trade I saw involved with a Rye BBT was Rye BBT + Planter's House : BBT b3 + BBT b1. And keep in mind that trade happened because the the Rye BBT was up for trade. I also don't know if this was you or not but someone put up the following trade and that got crickets:

NP Triple Vanilla MBD
MT Xul b2
MT Xul Bananarama
MT Ethereal Mounds
MT Ethereal Mounds Rye

for

Rye BBT

5:1 and still got crickets.

 

Yep, that sounds like me. Welp, may have to check this one off the do not trade for list lol. Tight grips! Cheers, thank you

 

I think one of the reasons it's so hard to trade quantity (even quantity of really good stuff like you offered) for a single bottle like BBT is that anyone who has BBT likely has a decent quantity of beer already. You don't get a BBT unless you're relatively into the craft beer hobby. I have a bottle but when I look at my cellar/linen closet it's hard to justify adding 5 more bottles that I'm never going to have time to drink even if the deal beer being offered is a "fair" trade

 

This is a really good point! I do that exact same thing when I look at my cellar and then look at a quantity trade. With the amount of "cellar sales" that I see on FB I think quantity trades are becoming less and less appealing as people are realizing that they won't have enough time to really drink their cellars without beers not being at their peak.

 

I would go for the HG bottles and not waste time with the BM's. Not to disparage the good folks who collect and trade BM's but they have achieved almost cult like status with ridiculous asks. Personally I enjoyed the HG bottles better than the BM's I have tried but to each their own.
