So much negativity around trading these days, so it's important to call out the good guys. WagonCircler definitely fits that bill. I sent him a bottle of Adam from the Wood for some Heady Topper and Resin last month. His extras were awesome (Founders and Great Lakes) and all went smoothly. Then, a month later, he bombs my porch unexpectedly with four more bottles, including Horseheads Domination and Heavy Seas Siren Noire. His reason? "Because you traded me an Adam from the Wood for some IPAs." Yeah, like Heady's just a regular old IPA. Awesome stuff, Matt. Thanks for making BA a better place. Let the porch-bombing war commence. :-)
Mike is leaving out some pretty important details...I hope I dont cause an inbox explosion... Mike messaged me after I posted something about needing an Aftw to complete my mini HOTD collection before I was ready to drink them all. He said all he wanted was some regular beers because he is running low on every day drinkers. Mike mentioned that he had Resin once and really enjoyed it. I told him that I had just gotten back from a VT run and had some Heady left. I sent him 4 Resin and 4 Heady plus some of my favorite extras for an Adam from the Wood (!!Top want!!!)...you know what this maniac did...he Extra'd me a 2010 Abyss. Box is more than well deserved and the score still isnt settled IMO...Trade with this man, do it.
Well, it will be fun trying to "even things up," Matt. Here's to BA, great traders and new friends. Cheers.
I think that's why it's important to actually mention the traders that go above and beyond. If I had just started on BA recently, the "bad trader" threads would be more than a little intimidating. Love to see good examples being set ... and publicized.
I'll second Matt's awesomeness as a trading partner. We've had 5 trades and unsolicited he's sent me things like Heady Topper, MOAS, Bolt Cutter, Heavy Seas below decks mutiny fleet, Siren noir etc. Looking at some of the horror stories around here I'm luck to have such a great trading partner and friend. Hey buddy, you rule.
I'll third on Matt as a great trader here. Sent a kick ass box to me a few months ago. I'll trade with him anytime.
