ISO: Wunderkammer FT: list

Not to cause a ruckus here, but why would ratios be in your favor?

 

His FTs are all fairly limited bottles compared to his ISOs. I personally love Wunderkammer, but they just aren't nearly as sought-after as BA bottles from Perennial, SP, etc.

 

I am familiar with all bottles in question, hence the query. OP's wants are more limited than his gots based on bottle count. Plus, 'sought-after' is all in the eye of the beholder / person ISO.
Needless to say, best of luck with the trade, OP.

 

I am sure you could find someone willing to trade several for each, especially considering the cost differential.
I'd consider posting in HF Enthusiasts on FB - you'll probably get more action.

 

I get what you're saying, but being limited doesn't mean a ton when you're comparing them to SP, Perennial, etc that tend to be sought-after consistently on a national scale.

 

Could easily see you getting 3 of your ISOs for 1 of your FTs. The issue with Wunderkammer isn't that people hold them so tightly, but that they're release radius is fairly small. I stumble on their bottles in shops around VT for $10-15 per, for reference.

You'll definitely have much better luck on FB in the HF groups with this.

 

Except when you're looking for something with more of a regional vibe, it's beneficial to play to that market instead of just assuming your 'national scale' beers will win your trade.
A whole separate element here is trading dark beers for saisons.

 

Sure, I can get that, but I've found Wunderkammer isn't even a huge name in its own region (New England). For example, when listed FT/FS, I've been able to snag bottles in the ~$30 range. Just not much demand even in regional groups.

A more comparable example, I'd think, would be a place like Freak Folk, which has a similar regional footprint to Wunderkammer, but gets much more attention both regionally and nationally. I know plenty who'd swap a top-tier Freak Folk for bottles like Maman, Continuance, etc.

 

Perhaps it's just the old money in me that continues to stand by these perspectives, but I understand what you're saying.

 

Believe me, I get entire entirely where you're coming from. Seeing the traffic on FB, it becomes apparent the vast majority of trades are done with secondary values in mind. Whether I like it or not, it's become the easiest benchmark from which trading on a wide scale can be approached.
