Trade Value Thread (Q2 2021)

I wouldn't trade a regular ass 3F Geuze for any version of Damon.

Damon has got to be one of the most overhyped stouts to retain any level of secondary value for such an absurdly long period of time. I honestly can't believe its value has stayed so high for so long.

Hill's forte isn't stouts. Though a few of them are quite nice, Damon isn't one of them. The only thing keeping it where it's at is the remoteness and infrequency of stout releases at Hill. FOMO is crazy and people are crazier. It's not worth it. There are so many better stouts out there.

 

Thanks for the input. I went into this with the same mindset as MattOC - no limit, then high limit; sure, more difficult to obtain than Cantillon but similar cost, hence the add.

Anyway, a generous BA I previously traded with reached out and all’s right with the world.

 

What do Isabelle Proximus and batch 1 Duck Duck Gooze go for, in terms of Zenne y Frontera? I got 0bites for batch 1, and 1 for batch 2 that I passed on.

 

I would think Izzy and Zenne y frontera b1 are close to 1:1. Not sure about b1 DDG. Fwiw I have a Zenne b1 and want to tick Izzy, but I personally haven’t had many better beers than Zenne b1 so hard to let it go. Good luck!!

 

Thoughts on Anabasis b5 for Arabesque 1:1? I'd be on the Anabasis side.

 

Value wise seems like a great offer. Big barleywine for big barleywine. Good luck!

 

Seeing the Zenne b1 discussions above has me curious about the trade value of recent batches. Any thoughts on its RVRU value? Would be fun to try them if they’re relatively attainable. Would a package involving some or all of Bourbon County Anniversary, Bourbon County Birthday, DB Very Special Old Deth, Half Acre Obsidian Throne, and Rev/HA On and On pt. 1 be way off?

 

Screenprint Zennes seem to be roughly in the realm of Fou Foune/St Lamvinus for trading. B3 through B6 trade a hair higher than B7 through B9. In terms of quality, B3 for me was the clear winner of the screenprints that were sold to-go. B3 bottles seem to be lower carb or still, so you'd have to be cool with that (I certainly was), but the aroma is crazy, and it's a really great beer. I think the combo of those you listed would have a decent shot at getting a B7 through B9, though would require some luck or possibly a bigger anchor for B3 through B6 unless you want to go international, which always makes lambic easier to score.

 

Thanks so much! Fingers crossed I can land one, but may see if I can come up with a better anchor for a b3!

 

Does anyone have any good info on the value of TWCP Continuance compared to some recent Moksa releases

Specifically which of the following from lines from Moksa is the closest to an even deal
Final Form Set
Final Form Set + Singularity (any)
DB Pastry Method + Singularity
Final Form Set + DB Pastry Method - I assume this is over the TWCP Continuance on it's own but how big of a plus would it take to land 2:5?

 

I've seen TWCP Continuance drop a lot recently to around 400, no idea why. That's about equal to the Final Form Set. I also been seeing DB Pastry Method climbing and closing a bit under 400. So it's about 2x TWCP Continuance for the Final Form Set + DB Pastry Method.

 

Based on personal trade experience for beer I would say this is a bit off. The TWCP bottles are closer to 3-3.5 vru. I traded 2 bottles away in the last week for that. The lower trades are for razzles and whiskey, not beer.

I don’t know anything about moksa so @Hopelessly0 may be right there, but TWCP closer to 3 vru.

 

That's true, it could be trading higher, but the cash price right now seems to be around 2-2.5 VRU. There's probably high variability because it's a member only bottle.

 

DB vsod trade decent, 6-8 treehouse ipas?

 

For me it would depend on which ones.

 

Obviously wouldn't be trading it here but would yamazaki 18 be able to pull 2 of these bottles - GTS, THH, ORVW? Way off?

 

way off. Closer to 1:1 with possibly a small plus on the other side, nothing major though. retail difference is insane though.

 

what he said

 

Any guesses as to what the new horus ba barleywine set may go for? Ive been hunting db assassin and db pastry method for some time now and was hoping it could pull one of them.

 

Whole set closed for 500 on FB multiple times, which is close to 1:1 on DB Assassin and 1:1+ on DB Pastry Mode (around 400). I've been seeing DB Assassin climb recently, and have only seen it close for cash, never trades. It's just one of those bottles I guess. I'd expect the Horus barleywine set to drop in value, so better to unload it now while you can.
