Is posting a trade like this bad form?

I don't think it's poor form, I just think they're very unlikely to happen.

 

I dont think that's in bad form, sometimes the throw shit out and see what sticks method works.

 

It's actually a great way to clear some room in your cellar. I've done this several times, in particular, to get bottles of Utopias. The downside, even though you may be offering way over $4$ and volume, these trades are often hard to make. Just post them and see what happens.

 

So you were willing to give up all those bottles for one single bottle?

 

Where is my option to vote you an asshole.

 

Dang, I really don't wanna trade either of my two remaining Matt's but your offer is very tempting.

 

1:1 then?

 

Honestly, I feel these types of ISO's were completed more (imo) a few years ago. Coincidentally I used to do over $4$ trades with quantity for quality to help build up my cellar at the start. Granted I lived in CA at the time and had access to a very nice beer store that got decent limited CA releases...however, I just don't see much of what I got in the past happening now, especially because of the instawhales and what not (MIDWEST 4 LIFE YO! [not really])

 

I would have done that in a second for AFTW (and still would), but I never even clicked on the ISO thread because of the "IP Chicago preferred" in the title. That might have been part of your issue. (That said, I understand not wanting to ship all of that for just one bottle, too.)

 

Not poor form at all. I know it's not the popular prevailing method of trading on BA, but I often prefer to be on the receiving end of a bunch of beer I know I can enjoy multiple times over (often regardless of rarity) for something rarer. I guess I don't consult my Beckett enough

 

Yea kind of like a dead fish

 

I voted "yes" mainly because I wanted to see what 3.6% looked like on that graph.

 

I personally wouldn't give up all that beer for a single bottle of any beer.

 

Two observations:

1. If you offer a "pick-em" of quantity for quality, you will get a lot of posts telling you it can't get done because you are trying to "trade up". But you might get lucky and find someone willing to make the deal.

2. If you offer a rare/quality bottle for a pick-em of good quantity, you will be accused of holding an auction. But you will undoubtedly get multiple offers.

 

Poor decision.

You could uptrade all of those bottles of beer for a PVW Eclispe, which you could then find the right person who desperately needs to complete a vertical and uptrade that bottle away for a M, and then you could take that bottle of M and trade it away for 200 bottles of BCBVS.

That is how you win BA sir. Are you new here?

 

So mongo your offering 1 for 1 then, huh? lol
