Trade Negotiation

But possible his shipment will get stuck in a random FedEx security check in Indianapolis before it gets to you.

 

I read a story one time about a guy that started with an iPod (apparently it was a phone, found article) and traded his way up to a Porsche over a few years.

I wonder if you could do that with beer? Start out with a common shelf beer and turn it into a Dave all through negotiations...

I was going to do Adam FtW 1:1 with Rare, but then I looked at Ebay. There's no Adam FtW for sale, so it's clearly invaluable whereas as some jerkoff is selling a Rare recapped with a Dark Lord top. So, clearly the beer is pretty awful and someone drainpoured it just to get rid of it. So now I don't want that. Instead, I'll send you the Mirror Mirror and the Abyss, and then you can send me the Hill Farmstead you're getting for them. But I'm doing you a big favor by loaning you those bottles, so I deserve compensation. I hear there's great Cantillon distribution out there, so a Lou Pepe Gueuze (pre-2005 is fair, but I'll relent for a 2007 or 2008 if that's all you can get seeing as you're a new trader.) and a Mamouche. My wife wants a Mamouche, and she's pregnant, so you clearly can't deny her that. I mean, she's going to have go through labor which is going to suuuuuuck.

As for my packaging, I know it's supposed to survive a bomb, but really, if we get hit with a bomb, who's going to care about beer? We'll be going to war. Which means you'll probably want to get rid of your cellar beforehand, so feel free to root through your closet and send me some 2008 BCS. I know you haven't kept it at a good temperature, but that's OK. In return, I've got some Hellshire II from the esteemed Oakshire series. It's one of those new wild stouts that are so popular. (I don't have to go to war because I've got a medical liability and a family. *limps*)

Oh, and I totally won't forget about the Upright. It just won't make it into the box.

... Because the box is so full, you see.

Edit: Crap, I just realized when I typed BCS Rare into Ebay, it actually gave me pictures of the Ducks game versus Auburn in the 2011 BCS Title game. So, now I'm depressed. Thanks, jerk. That must be why you wanted to send me Salt of the Earth. Got to rub some salt in the wound, right?

 

I was hoping for something amusing by clicking

 

We need to factor the WAR (wins above replacement) for a true Fantasy Beer league. Let's say Rare is worth +6 WAR, and Z.Dust is like +.5 WAR, etc. That way you can project wins in your trade negotiations.

 

I have a case of Half Acre Gossamer (soo rare! only distributed to the northern half of Cook County!) that I'd be willing to let go btl-4-btl with these readily available shelf beers:
BCBS Rare
BCBVS
Beatification
Fou Foune
Offers (just know if you offer something other than what I listed its unlikely I'll even have the decency to tell you no thanks)

 

i admit, i lol'd at that, happens at least once/week.

 

An Exchange:

Fred: Sorry, but my 4 Beats are over $4$

Sam: screw $4$, Beats are +3 WAR, my RARE is +6, however it only takes up 1 roster spot while your beats will take up 4 of mine. With the roster spots you've saved (3), you should be able to find ample replacements.

Fred: I'm not sure. I feel like I'm being taken here.

Sam: I think you're forgetting that the excitement alone for your fans in having a RARE, should be enough to put more butts in the seats.

Fred: You make a good point there, anyway you can throw in some cash with the deal?

Sam: Sorry, that is not allowed on this site.

Sam: This league/community is about having superstars Fred, whales! If you're not going to play with the big boys here, go back to RateBxxr.

Fred: okay, okay, let's do the deal.

Sam: excellent.

 

Definitely one of my pet peeves.

 

Hope this tickles your fancy

I can turn a Bud Light Lime-A-Rita into a CBS in 5 trades.

 

This all highly amusing. However, I feel bad for the selective readers that stumble into this thread, not read into the sarcasm, and believe this to all be truth. Sadly, they do exist.

 

Dude, your link is broken, you might want to check that.

 

Scissors cuts paper.

+6 Mana, and I play my Farbog Explorer and activate my Banishing Stroke, dealing a bajillion damage

I'll dump a Hunahpu all over the card table.

Checkmate.

 

Someone needs to alert nickd717. Immediately.

 

Oh, I've got a case of Idiot's Drool for the first person to send me a Framboos.

 

gol damn some of you guys must encounter some annoying traders.

my personal favorite trend of the past 3 months: "goandpickitupformebro." BRO.
