Trappist Westvleteren 12 - Trade Value?

I think what people are going to say, including me, is that it's worth $85 in trade.

 

0.5 King Henry or 1/3 Rare

 

a 6-pack of supplication and two Russian River glasses

 

it's worth $4$ nothing else.

 

Considering the hundreds of FTs about to pop up I would expect nothing more than $4$ for other limited distributed beer.

 

they make nice extras.

 

Definitely not worth a case of Heady Topper...that's for sure....

(especially since the bricks are making appearances in both Montpelier and Burlington.)

 

And so it begins...

 

Doesn't everyone know the bottles with printing on them aren't tradable? Now the ones straight from the brewery are a completely different story, they be walez bro and should trade for nothing less then an izzy.

 

I think they're great extras. I send 4/6 of mine from a brick I got earlier in the year out as extras and my partners loved them.

Westy 12 already didn't trade for more than $4$. (Where $ is roughly 15.) Anyone who wanted it enough could find it on Etre or BiaB periodically. The infusion of (from what I've heard) 42,000 bottles into the US market certain isn't going to increase the trading value.

 

I expect it will unusually easy to trade for this; I'm guessing a lot of people actually were forced to buy more than they wanted - the all-or-nothing 6 pack. I know that I probably would have been happier with 4 instead of 6.

So unlike a lot of limited releases where people will typically buy only what they want (and what they want to trade), I'm sure a lot of these bottles are very much available.

So good news if you're looking to acquire some, bad news if you want to use them as tradebait.

 

I put one on 'hold' at beer pantry. It is 85 bucks + tax.. If any of you guys want it, shoot me a BM

 

We just got bombarded with Westy 12 (which is why you can grab a 6 pack). It's trade value has never been lower.

 

You might be able to score a few bottles of BCBs. It seems like a metric shit ton of westy came here compared to BCBS.

 

Luckily, its oh so delicious, and better to be drank than traded anyways!

 

For the price, I wouldn't buy it if you're buying it exclusively to trade. If you're buying it to enjoy, it's delicious and holds up very well, so you could enjoy one or two now, and save the rest for some important days.
