Trading "Pet Peeves"

My favorite is when someone sends you and offer, and you accept and you never hear from them again...

 

You haven't seen his cellar....













Have you seen it?

 

Actually bought a four pack in June in Wisconsin myself.

 

Or just know that you should be able to trade awesome Indiana locals for FBS well into the new year!

 

Wow!!! You should have gone for it man!!! You should have thrown some Cantillon as an extra!! You missed out

 

I swear to all the people that don't know this guy, he is a prince. I just met up with him for an ip last week and the guy is gold. Don't let his alter ego fool you. Like Marshall Mathers became slim shady when he was rapping, same thing happens to Mongo when it involves beer trading.

 

Trying to justify $4$ by stating shipping costs

 

"my bottle of X wasn't actually 15 bucks because I paid 6 dollars extra for shipping. It's value is now 21 bucks"

 

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like 90% of the problems in this thread stem from people who are trading beer like sports cards rather than to enjoy beer.

 

I agree with this. I don't mind trading rare stuff for "lesser" beers as long as they are good. You do have to consider how hard some beers are to get though, sometimes offers get out of hand. When I posted an ISOFT I had an offer of a combo of Surly 4pks for my vanilla DL ..

 

Asking for $75 worth of beer for a CBS is a pet peeve of mine.

Haha I remember that thread!

Oh yea people do this. I've lost count with how many times I've had to tell people that no one counts shipping.

 

It's a new thread!

Wait, so I can't count time, gas, shipping, and packing materials when I quote my end of $4$????

 

Oh, I judging by the text in the link I thought it was an old thread that got shat on hard


Next time I go to China for work I should grab a bottle of that PBR reserve they have over there. $4$ would be insane. $40 US for the bottle, plus transit from 12 time zones.

Wale hunting time!

 

Adding that guy to my do not trade with list.

Damn that list is getting long.

 

You might be onto something, I bet a hipster would give his right nut and his fixie for that, just to be ironic ofcourse

 

Just did same

 

I love BAs who refer you to their 'gots' and follow it up with "I haven't updated it in (insert time frame here)." My other favorite BAs are the ones that refer you to their 'gots' for trading purposes, then after you choose a few beers from said list, the reply is 'oh but that's not for trade.'

That's where I move on. Don't waste my time because I'm not interested in wasting yours.

 

All these links really aren't much use for this conversation.

Beer Trading Help threads last about as long as a queef in the wind around these parts.
