    So I'm in the process of completing a three way trade where one of my last partners sent me a box from Michigan, I'm sending a box to Cali, and one of my Cali partners is shipping a box to Michigan to complete the chain. It got me wondering if anybody else has done this before. Well' I'm sure people have, just wondering people's experiences with it in the past. It's sort of like our own mini BIF I guess. Anyway, I was just bored at work so figured I'd throw out a topic that I haven't seen discussed before.

    Sounds interesting, and yeah, kind of like a mini-BIF. How did the arrangement of the trade develop?

    One of my previous partners wanted to know if I could get any Parabola for him, this was about a month or so ago. We had gotten it last year around me so I figured it would be no problem. He had some hoppy beers for me he didn't want to sit on, so he shipped his box. Well, Parabola came and went, or didn't come at all and I missed out. One of my other partners in Cali was able to get more than enough Parabola, so I asked if he would ship a box to Michigan with the Parabola, and I would ship him a box of stuff from around here. And the three way trade was born.

    I've done a pseudo three way trade before. A regular partner was in a BIF and he wanted to send his target in Cali some FFF bombers. He lives in Mass. so I sent the FFF bombers to his target and he sent me a thank you box.

    "No, what is this the NBA?"

    That's exactly what I said before I even opened this thread.

    FT: Dwight Howard | ISO: Kate the Great| ISO: Third party with an extra DLD Ticket and a Lawson's Maple

    So only a few people have done them before, I guess it's just not something that get's brought up as a possibility since there's usually no reason to bring a 3rd person into the trading mix, except for the few times mentioned. Thanks for the responses.

    Not exactly a three way trade, but I had a BA in-person trade while I was in Miami and he gave me a ton of stuff to bring back (more than we had discussed) and we had talked about how he always wanted to try Pliny, but likely would never happen.

    A couple weeks later, I was in the middle of a trade with a guy from Cali who already sent his stuff to me and in return I gave him a bunch of extra goodies, including some gems I had gotten from Miami. He ended up sending a box full of Pliny, Blind Pig, Alpine and other IPA's down to Florida and the guy was absolutely ecstatic (he never knew it was coming).

    Both guys were great traders, but sadly, I lost the username of the guy from California during the site transition.

    I know a lot of people have become increasingly cautious about trading with the newbs, but none of us out of the 3 really had serious trading credentials. In the end though, it couldn't have happened any better.

    My three way went something like this.

    1) I sent a box to Trader #2 that included extras for Trader #2 and Trader #3
    2) Trader #2 sent a box to Trader #3 that included extras for Trader #3 and me
    3) Trader #3 sent me a box including extras from #2 and #3.

    Worked great and everyone was happy.

    I kind of did a 3 way trade but it was more like 2 one way trades.
    I send box 1 to trader A for beer 2
    I then sent beer 2 + more to trader B for box 3

    The only reason I call this a three way trade is because trader A knew and approved of my intentions ahead of time

    I sent a box to a regular trading partner.

    He then sent a box to one of my other regular trading partners.

    I can't say I didn't get "anything" because if I had the bottle that I wanted to send to the other trading partner, I would have done it directly.

    Both of them (looking at you Heyta and Beerdy) are just awesome, so Heyta did me a huge favor by getting the bottle I needed out to Beerdy, and Beerdy has killed it so many times in the past, having someone (or me) sending him more bottles is the least I can do..... and I'm gathering more bottles as we speak, so look at Cali!

    I sent a box to the wrong person. Sent that person the right beers and had them forward the first box to the proper recipient. Also a Gang Bang 2 participant...

    I was involved in Cam's Whales BIF. I sent out an Izzy to WA and got a PiaPt that I never even touced. The PiaPt was sent to another trader who sent a BA Dark Lord to Cali. I then gave Cam an Armand'4 set. (The same set he mailed me a month prior) He mailed another BA Dark Lord to Cali. I finally wound up with a Brabantiae from the Cali trader.

    I think I got that right...

    Other than getting the Brabantiae, I thought you might be a prime candidate for selecting Option 2: Yes, but wouldn't do it again
