    So, I passed the 30 day mark and I am exited about the possibility to trade some good brew. My question is can I post what I have on hand AND what I have access to in my area as the FT part?

    Yes you can. Be sure that you can deliver on the "in your area" part, though.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely make sure that I have beer in hand before I commit to anything

    Couple of points of advice that you can take or leave as you see fit. I'm by no means an expert:

    1. Don't make your list (FT or ISO) too long. At some point, it just becomes noise.
    2. Avoid listing widely distributed shelf beers. Founders Project Pam, for example, is a nice beer, but most people on this forum have easy access to it, so listing it FT isn't really going to get you anywhere.
    3. You can use the "search" function on the Trade Forum to get a general idea of what trades look like involving your FT and ISO beers.
    4. Have fun! Just started trading a year ago myself and I've really enjoyed it. Few things beat having a fresh, unopened box of great beer delivered to you.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    Welcome aboard. I'd highly suggest reading the trading rules prior to posting an ISO/FT. IMO, too many people jump right into the trading game without fully understanding the rules and don't understand why their posts are getting deleted or why they received a warning.

    Second, take the time to peruse the trading forums and see other people's posts to get a feel for how things operate.

    Lastly- Have fun!! If you need any assistance or advice, feel free to message me and I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

    Cheers!
