Trade Value Thread (2020)

I think the general consensus is a VR unit doesn't change based on the actual value of VR. VR unit will always represent $200. So a VR is worth .75 VR units? LOL

 

Is this real life?

 

I ask myself this everyday.

 

Yeah not too worried as its a gift for my buddy who is having his first child. So worst case I pay up for a nice bottle.

 

Would a Clover b1 get an SR71? Overkill || not enough?

 

Definitely not enough. Might need 2x Clover b1 to be close to SR-71. From my understanding, most people consider Clover b2 to be better too.

 

anyone know any recent trades or trade values for the 3sons db nanner scoop or the cycle rare scoop that they released this year with the cuvee set?

 

Yes, VR unit is a fixed unit of secondary value. At least that is how I use it.

 

This is why it's dumb to continue using VR units as a metric. They mean different things to different people, and every time someone uses this unit there's a renewed debate about whether it's a fixed value of $200 or whether it tracks the current actual value of VR.

Can we stop this nonsense and just refer to dollars? That's what we're all trying to do anyway; we're just dancing around it by using a confusing term.

 

My understanding was that using actual dollars and secondary prices was frowned upon by big brother(s) and admins will flag your post for deletion.

 

I mean, it seems that it's not as big of a deal to throw out dollar signs these days. I see it all the time.

 

Thanks, @John_M, for your characteristically thoughtful and level-headed response. Good point about safeguarding against selling beer — I didn't mean to downplay that concern. From my perspective, though, I really don't see how allowing dollar values would increase the risk of buying/selling on this site. There are tons of Facebook groups in which it's exceedingly easy to buy/sell beer, so people who want to go that route can easily do so. (Note: I'm not endorsing this. I'm just saying that it's very easy to buy/sell elsewhere, and I therefore don't think anyone engaging in buying/selling would be inclined to do so on BA).

 

Would changing it to John m units be more agreeable ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

I traded my Rare Scoop + 3 Sons Smortal Kombat for a 2020 Assassin + 2020 MT Ultra Coffee

Unfortunately, the reality of the current beer "market" is that a lot of bottles discussed here move significantly more often in sales than they do trades. Is there any harm in using numbers without dollar signs? That's what the majority of other platforms where beer is discussed do. Or at least come up with an alternative to VR, which doesn't have a consistent meaning nowadays as referenced earlier since a Vanilla Rye is about 3/4 to 2/3 of a VR

 

Like everyone else I'm trying to land a SR-71. Would a package of 2019 and 2020 KBBS get the job done, or would I be better off trading these away for a different (non TG) anchor for the SR-71?

It's a bucket list beer for a friend, and wants to move both KBBS.

Feedback is welcomed

 

I would think you are there loking at values for a b2, but nost likely folks sitting on SR71 have had their fill of KBBS.

Perhaps try to trade your KBBS for a couple diferent batches of BBT?

 

That's kind of what my thought was as well. Have been looking into what SR-71s have been trading for and trying to get a feel for the market. I'll keep checking what we can get for the KBBS and go from there.

Appreciate the honest feedback

 

Decent bourbon is relative. I think ECBP is really good, probably better than more desirable bourbons like EH Taylor and Weller but others would disagree.

If you use the DB BCS as a anchor, something like Rock Hill Farms should be easy to obtain with the prop as a plus if you aren't too concerned about going over. DB BCS plus Birthday BCS is probably closer to the RHF but like I said and others discussed in prior comments, bourbon tax. Weller 12 is another option that the DB BCS might close 1:1 and EH Taylor Single Barrel should be an easy 1:1 with DB BCS. Not sure about Myster8.
