    First ever was a dude I met on Instagram who was a local Philly guy that hooked it up with some Heady Topper. Brought him (I think) 9 Nugget Nectar for 5 cans, and he could have easily obtained NN himself, he was just a very generous guy. That reminds me, I need to grab him something awesome soon as a thank you!

    My first trade was a dream trade

    I got Beatification, Supplication, Sanctification, Westy 12, kbs, pliny, and blind pig for what amounted to shelf beers. I wouldnt even take the trade today as its so one sided but I didnt know!

    BA Mexi set for Choc Rain '12, 2011 sucuba, melange 3, 2012 BCBCS, Behemoth, and some other delicious shelf turds.

    Was attending releases and collecting long before the trade.

    I had a lot of learning to do quickly about $4$ value vs bottle count etc. :wink:

    My first trade was two lonely bottles of troegs that I sent to a guy on another site for some of his homemade mead. Boy did I bother that guy. Is it there yet? Is it broken? Are you sure it's not broken? Never saw the guy again and that was good mead too.

    I first got involved in the noob BIFs hosted by urbancaver and some homebrew BIFs. I don't remember exactly what was sent or received in them, but it was a blast.

    My first actual trade was ft:CBS iso:BCBVS.

    6er of Zombie Dust was what I sent out. I received 6 packs of Yazoo Hefeweizen and Dos Perros. My girlfriend had lived in Nashville for a little while and loved the brewery. She'd moved out of their distribution for two years and I was able to surprise her with her two favorite beers for her birthday.

    Haha what did you send out for all that? That's a damn nice haul, especially for a first trade! And hey, a lot of peoples shelf beers are others peoples wet dreams, so don't feel too bad.
