    I have 12 Zombie Dust, 6 Gumball Head, 2 Dreadnaught (22oz), and 4 Permanent Funeral(22oz).

    I want Pliny the Elder. What is a fair & effective trade offer?

    Thanks!

    I don't see why a case of Pliny (12) is out of the question.
    If it were me I'd rather have everything you've got.
    If you are looking to break up your group I think you could trade a 6 pack of ZD for two Pliny.

    Not sure about the price but an oz for oz match seems fair. Keep in mind Pliney bottles are 500ml.

    I assume your beers aren't 8 months old right? Expect people to ask about dates in trade negotiation, and you should do the same

    According to the bottle in my fridge you are correct sir!

    Everything brewed 11/24 or later. Put out the offer (kept 2 permanent funerals) and had two wanting the deal within two hours.

    Thanks for the help!

    It's not so much that your offer is off as that your pool of potential traders is pretty small. Most places limit Pliny to 1 or 2 bottles per person per week, so you're only really talking to people willing to hit the pub and then trade you their whole daily limit.

    That's crazy...we have less restrictive limits in most places in Denver! And I also see people posting picks of a case of Pliny all the time...so there must be somewhere that sells cases and it isn't hard to get.

    In the SF area lines form at stores before the delivery comes in. The only place that sells cases is the brew pub and lots of people that go get a case are doing it to drink not trade.

    I believe it...but that's nuts! I mean it sells out pretty quick here but people certainly don't line up for it.
