    Guilty as charged. I'm a 12er.
    I suck at winning. While growing up, I kept transferring to schools until i found one that offered participation awards for sports. :slight_frown:

    I want a bodybuilding one that says, " how much do YOU bench, bro?"
    I might actually discard my decades worth of participation awards for that single trophy.

    Traders have gotten so lazy that not only do they not bother to check if the trade they are proposing has gotten done, but they won't even be bothered to check if the snarky joke they are threadshitting with has already been posted.

    I really don't care what format is used. As long as it can be understood without a volley of clarifying Q&A.

    With the cost of your FT bottles and shipping, aren't you essentially paying eBay prices (or even more), but using beer as currency instead of electronic cash? I think this is mostly a rhetorical question.

    I actually prefer getting quantity over quality most of the time.

    I think your example trade offer is fine because you explicitly mention all for one. Will it happen? I don't know.

    The ones I don't like are the ones that mention nothing about quantity and just have list. How are people suppose to know what exactly you have in mind for the trade? How are people suppose to know if it is pick a few, $4$, the whole list, etc.
