DB Huna

Everyday I ponder what I could offer for a DBH and never put anything up because I don't want to give up that type of quantity(black notes, bcbcs, bbpt5, etc) because I love drinking the beers i would give up. I have a BA Abraxas, but I don't have 2 BA Abraxas(which I would trade one of for sure).

Best thing to do is put up and iso: ft:. One of 3 things will happen: threadshitting, crickets, or a successfull trade.

 

Way off.

You have a lot of Bomb! variants that people can trade for fairly easily for things much less tasty than DB Huna. I don't know anything about the Okie, but it seems there's little demand for it, so no draw there, either.

That said, while DB Huna is excellent, it's not that much of a step up from regular old fantastic Huna, IMHO, & certainly not worth what you'd have to give up for it.

Good luck if you go after it!

 

Can you get Coolship Truck? That seems like it may be able to anchor something.

 

See, there's your problem. I can only speak for myself (but I'm fairly certain MOST people feel this way too), but I would want another rare bottle the caliber of DB Huna. I wouldn't want a bunch of little things that add up to (and possibly surpass) DB Huna. Send me 1 awesome bottle.

 

I agree, but sometimes quantity is enticing. For example, you lucked your way into 3-6 DBH. I put up an offer trading 10-12 black notes and 10-12 BBPt5. I think that would get done in a heartbeat with the right person.

 

I would be interested in seeing if that got done. I think that when people had cases of it that people were trading for quantity, but now that they are scattered and the supply is really low, you would have a hard time doing quantity for db huna.

Full disclosure: i have multiples and i wouldn't do quantity, and i think most people who have db huna at this point are either a) going to age then for a bit and then drink them or b) trade them for even harder beer to get like kbbs, md, vbdl, blabaer, and the like. Especially with it being stout season. Just my two cents though. Others who have it MAY want to trade for quantity, but most people who have them now probably traded a good amount for them in the first place so they don't want to let them go for beers they could otherwise get by trading "lesser" beers.

 

I landed one for a Churchill's Finest Hour

 

I can't disagree with your standpoint, but if I had multiple DBH, and lets say struck out on BCBCS or BBPt5, I would trade for a case of either. The opportunity to trade 25oz of whalebrew for 288oz of subwhale brew is a no brainer imo. I sort of think the person giving up the case is giving too much, but that's just me.

 

I got both of mine with quantity. I've found that the best way to get one is through a Florida trader who has them from the release. Anyone who traded the farm for one is most likely looking to re trade it for an even crazier amount.

That being said, it's still the best beer I've ever tasted.

 

To play devil's advocate, you could trade a much "lesser" beer and still get some BCBCS or BN. People use those as extras sometimes.

 

1:24 DBH to BCBCS? Well now that's damn tempting!

 

You sure could, and i've tossed BN as extras as well, that doesn't negate that someone out there would make the trade if they really liked the "lesser" beer and could transform 25 oz into 288 oz.

Think about it, you could trade one of your 6 DBH's that you paid 30 bucks for to get 140 worth of awesome beer. Or you could trade $4$/oz4oz using "lesser" beers.


DOES ANYBODY EVEN DRINK BEER ANYMORE!?!?!!

 

^^ this.

i had three db hunas. shared one, traded one for a BAA, and have one left. there's no way i'm giving it up for a bunch of stuff i either already have, or can get with other beers.

there weren't that many people who got 12 at huna day, and the 3 that i know who did have already traded most of theirs away for other big beers, or given them to friends.

ultimately, as people are getting down to one or two left, they aren't likely to trade them for much more common beers, even if they are great beers. these quantity for quality type trades are probably far easier just after the release.

 

people never want to believe that Quantity deals for "lesser" beers never happen, but plenty of people do trades like that. even if I could acquire something like BCBCS for more common beers, sometimes an offer of massive quantity of them for a single 750ml of some beer is too good to turn down. 120 ounces of awesome beer or 25 ounces of awesome beer? sometimes I just think about it like that. and sometimes I thnk about it the opposite way

there are a lot of tickers though who no longer desire beers at all after they have had them. sort of a strange POV to me but some people really value novelty over quality.

 

Yes, i have a buddy who drinks a beer once and if he has multiples he trades the other away, no matter how good it was. Or if he tried the beer at a beer festival and has a bottle at the house he trades it. I don't get it but tickers gotta tick.

As far a case of bcbcs for a db huna goes: sure it has a lot of arguable pros to it. A lot of amazing beer for one amazing beer. But you can get that case of bcbcs through other trades of stuff that you can actually get back. You may not be able to get that db huna back because supply is getting lower and lower. But you can pretty easily get some bcbcs pretty much whenever you want if you have even just a few limited release beers that are yearly releases. That's when the rarity issue takes over for me, and I couldn't bring myself to trade for quantity. Even though bcbcs is my second favorite beer.

 

the counter point to that is - who cares?

is my life that much better bc I have one bottle of whale x left in my basement? there are a thousand (more) of beers I'll never get to try, once you come to peace with being ok with that 22ounces not being in your life I think it's much easier to "let it go" and just be happy with a whole bunch of amazing, but less rare, beers.

edit: this isn't to say I haven't traded bulk for a whale beer. just saying that I understand both sides here
