Trade Value on this bottle

Not exactly the advice you're looking for, but I'd definitely say that your target audience is a tasting group. That should keep it fairly wide open if you end up going for quantity. I don't think you'd have to limit yourself regionally. I think you could easily pull an assortment from across the country/globe. Keeping that in mind though, I don't think you'd get another true white whale as the tasting group probably wants to drink it. I'd think your best option would be in the 4-6 super rare bottle range.

I'd honestly pick out 4-6 of your biggest wants outside of the true "white whale" list and see if somebody/some group could come up with it.

 

I think with something like this its gonna be hard to pinpoint a "value" so to speak, as mentioned above I think your target audience is gonna be pretty small. I know there are certainly older lambics that people are always seeking, cant say I have ever seen an ISO specifically for much older vintages of Blabaer. With the exception of the super super whaley stuff, I dont think you would get laughed at asking anything bottle 4 bottle.

There are certainly many intangibles - how it was acquired (hopefully not stolen from the brewery, lol)? How many times has it changed hands (basically, how its been stored for the past 10 yrs)? Just some questions I would think any potential trader might inquire about...not saying you need to answer them here, just that they may come up in conversations.

Like PHB, this isn't exactly the advice you wanted!

 

I also think your target audience for this is going to be tiny and even more so considering how many of them would trade for this as opposed to going to Akkurat or Moder Lambic etc to drink it onsite... or something of similar value.

Actually, maybe send off an email to the brewery, they might like to have this, if they don´t have a few already.

 

So you traded for a bottle you don't want to drink yourself???

 

sort of seems like a weird thread...seems mostly that you think won a trade (for the purpose of flipping) but now want validation on that, or to start a quasi-auction for it (given you just traded an 05 Fou for this bottle last week shouldn't you know it's trade value?)

(sorry if that reads dickish but just being honest I think that's how this thread reads to me)

 

I dont think he traded the fou foune for this bottle, i agree it kind of read that way though. If he did he won that trade

 

gotcha. good luck man. sorry I misunderstood

 

Side question about any batch of Blabaer. Can DB Huna pull Blabaer? 2:1?

 

Based on your trade threads, I want to move in and become your full time glass washer. That way I can sip the dregs and lick the glasses.

 

Where are you getting it from and what are you having to give up? Are you acquiring the bottle purely to trade?

 

Framboos+ sounds spot on to me...they're very close on the current white whale list (actually Framboos is "ahead" of Blåbær B1). 50th Anniversary is way higher on the list as well. I think you're over-valuing the Blåbær.

 

I'd drink it with some friends.

 

The bottle is only worth what someone's willing to trade for it. So it just sounds like you place a higher value on it than the market does.
