    Trust me, if you trade with Dave your German Shepherd won't be the only one loving the box.

    Best trade extra I ever got was some pulled pork on ice. Trader ran a BBQ business that shipped nationwide and threw some in BBQ after a couple conversations on the topic. One of the best trades I've had in my history on BA!!!

    Sure, usually glassware, stickers, bottle openers, etc. ... brewery stuff. I haven't figured out how to include Chicago deep dish pizza or Chicago style hot dogs yet ... :wink:

    I know places sell frozen pizzas (Eduardo's at least). In the winter I think you could send that safely if your trade partner was also somewhere cold.

    During the cold winter I sent a bunch of cans to @PuckIt wrapped in an old Champion sweatshirt. It worked well as a packing supply and it kept the beer warm! He loved it too,still wears it to this day:grinning:

    All the time! I end up getting a lot of keychains, bottle openers, stickers and even pints glasses so I usually toss a bunch of mixed items in a ziploc when I'm shipping out of my distro.

    If they use them, great but if they toss them or pass them on again, that's fine too. I figure I've got enough so why not give them to another beer-loving friend.

    I have included shirts, glasses, stickers and bottle openers in the past. My last shipment to Colorado was for two different traders and I included a YOpener for each trader in the box.

    That's too funny. I've thought about doing my smoked pulled pork as extras to guys I've traded with before (beyond the beer extras obviously). Thought they might think it was weird. Now I think I'll do it!

    I like to throw in coasters and stickers of local breweries. One time I traded a bunch of Firestone Walker stuff for Mexican Cake multiples and I ran into a FW rep while buying a Stickee Monkee. Snagged a sweet bottle opener and stickers to throw in as extras.

    I sometimes send a glass of that brewery if it is a special release.
