    I pretty much maxed out my futures and will probably look to trade some for 12 BCBS. For some reason I only scored a 4 pack and I'm guessing when I'm in Chi area next week and NY next month they will be all gone.

    Anyone think the latest Eclipse batch will trade $4$ with BCBS?

    I do. Of course, I'm a big fan of FiftyFifty & would much rather have Eclipse than fresh BCS, but I suspect that I'm in the minority.

    Objectively, it might be tough to get a four-pack of well-loved beer for a single bottle of Eclipse. But hey, I could very well be wrong.

    I have traded a 4-pack for an '11 EC 18.

    I'm considering trading another for an EC 12 (eventually)

    Yeah, I'm thinking four is stretching it but I would love to get 3!

    Probably, but we also get Eclipse distro in Chicago so you'll want to look for a trader outside of Chicago.

    Four seems perfectly fair. I've seen people quoting prices between $20-28 for a four-pack, the average isn't far off from the cost for a bottle of Eclipse. And they're both good, somewhat-sought-after beers. Seems like a good swap to me.

    I can't see why it wouldn't.

    Should be doable. I <3 Eclipse, though it does have its haters.

    Yeah, where is he? This thread has been open for two hours. You figure he'd have some kind of automated warning system or something. :grinning:

    Maybe someone should send him a BM just to let him know what's going on.

    I wouldn't trade my Eclipse EC 18 for 4 BCBS, but that's me.

    A four pack of BCBS should easily trade $4$ for an Eclipse varient. Given that the Eclipse is pretty close to $4$ with the BCBS. Some of them can easily hit the $35 dollar range as was the Grand Cru and EC 18.

    I recently drank my EC 12 and was blown away by how good it was. Probably one of the top 5 stouts ive had. And ive heard many great things about the EC 18 im sitting on. I expect many that dont see Eclipse distro in their area to be on the hunt for them when they come out.

    if i didn't have some eclipse coming to me in december, BCBS for eclipse is exactly the kind of trade i'd do were i to stumble upon BCBS.
