    If you don't have a minimum of 1 case each CBS, KH, BCBVS, and Rare - I am disappointed.

    if CBS is made again, this will only lower the trade value if the distribution isn't spread so thin. people need to be able to buy multiples--people that aren't hustling around trying to set sail for exploitation.

    that said, @ the OP, the demand for CBS is high. if you want to trade for it, you need to accept this. you may think it's absurd that CBS is worth more than abyss, but your beliefs aren't going to get you a bottle of CBS.

    All right, thanks for the opinions everyone. I'm writing CBS off for now. Those last few chips are being let go.

    The extra bottle I got of CBS was traded for a Framboise for a Cure (2nd batch) and Damnation 23 (batch 69).

    I used to get $150+ per bottle until they shut down my operation on the bay. :wink:

    (^totally kidding, I don't want the lynch mob to come after me thinking I was serious)

    I would guess that it would take vintage DL or Darkness, if those are what you have to offer. Otherwise, more recent (and much more limited) releases may land one. Unfortunately, those who are still sitting on bottles are likely not willing to trade them for off-the-shelf bottles (even if they are limited releases).

    Good luck landing one.

    Wow I guess I was really fortunate, I traded one of mine for and event horizon and a lindley park, plus I got a really good trading partner out of it. So it was a win-win for me. Plus I still have another bottle of CBS, so maybe it was a win-win-win.

    Is it bad I think KBS is better than CBS? Sure makes it easy on me =)

    I traded a Luscious for a CBS and I can't recall what I traded for another but it wasn't anything crazy.

    I sent 1 to Washington st as a mystery box trade just to see what the guy would send in return. And I was very pleased! Surround yourself with solid regular trading partners and everyone shares the limited beers from their area. That's how it's been for me ;-)

    I traded mine for an 05 LP kriek. I loved CBS so it was tough to let go. Sometimes you just have to find the right person.

    I just traded my last bottle for a KH + 1 BBBW

    I'm happy with it

    I'd like to think the reason it is hard to get is because a lot of people are smart and realized it was best fresh and already drank theirs. Everyone else just saved it for tradebait ransom.

    I'd like to openly admit that I'm apparently dumb, and think it's better aged. Either that, or the old hand bottled batch was just that much better than the most recent bottling...

    The 2009 batch really was that much better.

    Well that's going to be disappointing whenever I get around to opening my last bottle. :slight_frown:
