    Dear friends,
    Well with my 3 bottles of BA Abraxas here's what I am doing. Selling 1 on Beer Auction site to recover cost of bottles, travel, and time. The other 1, looking to trade for HF and Lawson's, 6-10 depending. Not looking for most rare or expensive, just variety of different beers. The third, I am looking to trade for 4 cases of ZD or other IPA, or might just sell the 3rd instead.

    I understand confusion because of unusual trade. Hope this helps.

    Holy hell, 1 BA Abraxas for 4 cases of Zombie Dust? If that's the case...

    FT: 1 Hommage ISO: 96 bottles of Zombie Dust.

    Edit: Let's just round it out to 99 bottles so I can sing that song.

    Sadly this doesn't help. Four cases of ZD? I think you should just sell them all.

    I flew to StL from Erie, PA just to grab my 2 bottles. Hung out with some cool people and shared a bunch of really good beers. I intend to open one bottle tomorrow for my birthday and the other is getting shared with my good friends in the Erie Better Beer Bureau.
    Thank you for share how much of a tool you are by letting us know you are going to sell and trade **** others for yours.

    Hope the bottles you sell break in transit.

    It still is, for sure, but there are definitely more people interested in maximizing their bottles instead of cultivating friends/trade partners. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that if that's what they are looking for. I've received far more bottles from good people/friends than trying to maximize my bottles. That's just my take on it.

    Sure, that makes perfect sense. 4 cases of Zombie Dust is only $160. That's definitely not expensive compared to your $30 bottle of BA Abraxas.



    Go away. Seriously, go away.

    Also, congratulations @Mild_Bill. After over 3 years on this site, I finally started a "people I would never trade with" list. And you're the first one on the list.

    My apologies to all known and unknown righteous BA folk. I posted out of exasperation. While I am not an old timer here, I have tried to be an advocate of Advocate. I am sure at some point I have PO'd someone off, but have and will continue to pay forward the kindness and generosity I have experienced through this site.
    Sláinte!

    I actually realized it right after I posted it is clearly a troll. He registered like 7 days ago.

    LOL could you imagine shipping 4 cases of ZD if one was so inclined, could one person actually put their hands on this much at one time? Hell the shipping costs would be ridiculous, not to mention the work and time doing this. One said BA Abraxas could be put where the sun doesn't shine. Same with HF, 10 bottles of HF which is probably more than they allow to begin with would involve two people standing in line all day just to surrender a ton of really great beer. The only thing he posted that made sense was option one, selling it on line, where all it takes is someone with enough money to buy one, like it or not, and it might/probably won't sell anyway.
