    This debate will go on forever. The bottles cost me ~$110 (accounting for discount and taxes). But, I don't live in California and have to have the beers shipped to me via a trustee. Since these bottles were purchsed just for this trade, the shipping is somethang that is part of the deal. Oh yea, I still have to send my trustee a thank-you package. So, in the end to keep math simple, I went with $40/bottle x3 = $120. Crap, I didn't even factor in the $300 membership. I'm giving these bottles away :grimacing:

    There is no debate. The three bottles of GM cost you about $102 plus tax for that individual transaction. The rest I'll let the other guardians of the BA Way worry about.

    Shipping cost is the price for trading, once you agree and exchange addresses and your good to go = a handshake IMO. The cost is what it is, and I absorb that, but we've all shipped enough to make an educated guess on what your looking at.I had a case of ZD shipped in a few years ago for under $18.00. How he shipped all that beer in one box was amazing, not one broken. If I'm shipping to Ca I'm assuming $30 or more.
