    Have 1 bottle each 2011 thru 2014 Bourbon County Brand Stout. Looking for a case of fresh Pliny the Elder.

    All due respect but this is 100% upside down. Not just in value but also shipping/packaging cost. You’re talking about a 4 bottle shipper vs a 24 bottle shipper. I’m sorry but you’re out of your mind if you think this is in any way a legitimate offer. You’ve been a member since 2006. Shame on you. You should know & do better.

    Ya, it's 12 bottles for a case. Doubt anyone would do it still cause the shipping cost and shipping Pliny is quite a pain. Plus, it's just old BCBS....I could maybe see someone doing this for like 8 Plinys tops, but still doubt anyone would do this.

    Okay, 4 bottles shipped vs 12 bottles shipped is still upside down. Even if both parties agree to usps flat shipping, those who have a case of PTTE will have to pay more to package the case for each bottle.

    I stand by my original statement. This is not a good offer.

    Eh... I think this is close if Pliny was being bought at retail vs the 92 shipped in California.

    just sold 1x 2012, 1x 2013, and 2x 2014 for $90

    this isn’t the $4$ forum

    The shipping cost might be an obstacle, but as far as beer for beer I think it's a pretty good offer. If this was IP in Cali, it would be a no brainer in my opinion. 2011 BCBS reg is also relatively tough to track down.

    Solid offer dude. Off both parties aware good with it then go for it... it’s not rocket science ...it’s a simple trade and straight forward.
    Hope you get it done... @bozodogbreath

    probably be cheaper to buy the BCBS then buy 12 pte and ship it all. Not a great deal at all.

    2011 BCBS is not an easy find. I considered the cost of shipping when I posted the FT: It is a fair offer - with shipping costs considered.

    Yeah but how many people are actually looking for it? Most likely tickers and that’s it. Not hating on your trade but it’s the shipping that’s killing this deal. IP deal probably insta close, shipping 12 bottles of pte not going to happen with most traders. Good luck and hopefully you can get this done.

    @Rustytacos
    How do you know “most traders”
    won’t do this? Do you know “most traders”?
    “most traders” even if they do not necessarily like BCBS or variants are very much aware of the value they posses. All I would ask in return from @bozodogbreath would be a few cans to appease the trader in me that likes surprise cans or bottles. But if I had access to PtE or lived close to the Bay Area I would definitely do this....

    Just take a look around the trade forums, limited , $4$ , locals and trade values. Do you see a lot of people posting iso or ft on older BCBS? Again most people are not looking for this but doesn’t mean there isn’t. I just don’t feel like a case of pte plus shipping is reasonable for what the op is offering regardless of the value it has. Like others have posted 6-8 seems about right plus shipping but if the op can get 12 congrats. I guess I’m not like “most traders” and just can’t see the value of this particular trade.

    I know enough to know that you’re offer is upside down. After all, if your offer was good, you probably would have closed by now. But it hasn’t because it’s ridiculous. People aren’t looking for old regular BCS like they used to. Evaluate as high as you want. The reality stands that if this was on par, we wouldn’t be in this conversation.

    Were you without internet for the last 6 years? You haven’t posted since 2014 and returned this month, coming in hot.

    no, I have a more recent account after this one was hacked a few years ago. Someone on Facebook screwed me over in a trade. Things in a group got ugly so he hacked my Facebook & BA accounts. BA allowed me to reopen this account recently.
