    It gets you either half way home on a Saturday night or a beer that doesnt taste as good in a trade.

    It should trade pretty evenly with the others you've mentioned.

    Abacus (2011) isnt quite as tasty as the 12 and 13 at this point but should land what you've asked about.

    I would guess
    1:1 with Parabola
    1:2 or 3 BCBS
    1:2 KBS
    1:2 Prairie Bomb
    would need to add for Darkness or Pirate Bomb. $4$ close but people will normally trade beers like this for harder to find stuff

    of course all depends if you find someone really looking for what you have

    Ive been lucky enough to have at least six of each over the years in each case fresh, and also for the first two, aged a bit.
    I think taste is something like: 13>11>>>>12 for Abacus
    However with that said i think 11 may be falling off a tad.
    Still a good beer though.

    I've traded away a bunas peopel have stated above with what your looking for minus the BOMBs, which for whatever reason, are hyped absurdly and landing much better beers. It's "worth" more than say, an '11 Parabola but less than '11, '12 Darkness. I think you could get a '13 Darkness for it.
    That's just my guess....

    But the best way to do it is to put up an ISO. If somebody really wants one (say to complete a vertical) they might give you something "more" or else for it.

    As for the neg responses you've gotten, the concern is that this sub particular forum has degenerated due to abuse of people fishing for trades. There seem to be posts wherein somebody is essentially advertising what they have and trying to get an unofficial silent auction with other ppl silently (via PM/BM) sending the OP trade offers. This generally discouraged , well at least discouraged by some vocal folks here.

    I think it is preferred for the community that you make an ISO/FT post int he correct forum and pick what you want

    ISO: Darkness 12 FT: Abacus 11

    and see if you get takers and/or feedback

    If you do it here i could simply BM you and offer you something better and then the "market" value is not made well known (to others who never see what you offered and if it got done). Then it looks like you just wanted to know what is the MOST you could get for something.

    But that's complicated too. I'm not taking sides here but since i answered your question (and didn't tell you to go away) it seems like I'm kinda de facto in club that advocates tolerance of these types of posts.
    I think it would help your reputation, though, to post a ISO in future though for something(s) particular that you actually want.

    Thanks Luwak! I had already done an ISO:ft post about 30 min ago. Not trying to fish around, new to BA vs have been doing Facebook and thought would be appropriate to post on this. I learned quickly otherwise and couldn't delete. :slight_smile:. Anyways thanks again for your response. :slight_smile:

    That was supposed to be something like: " I've traded away a bunch of these over the last 18 months and based on how the trades went, I'd agree with the "value" that people have indicated minus the BOMBs, which...."




    Anyway, good luck Puzzles...i hope you find something you like.
