I have a good amount of bottles piling up. Thinking about selling or trading. What is a fair price to ask for 2 cases of 12 Oz bottles?

I've seen them for sale a lot. My problem now is I hate taking the labels off (a little lazy I know) so if I do it, I'll keep them. I was thinking a 6 pack off craft beer for a case or two of bottles...... All my brewing buddies are all set.
TINMANBrew said:A decent 6 pack is about 8 to 10 here. If you figure you spend 17 a 12 pack of craft beer (full) . 8 bucks for 2 cases doesn't seem out of line. I'm a bit cheap but seems there are cheaper dudes out there than me!

A good 24 hour soak in Oxy and the labels just fall off, wipe with a sponge, rinse and dry, sanitize on bottling day and you're good to go.
Give them to a friend who homebrews and needs them. Charity pays back a lot more the nickel and diming.

Im in the same boat. Gotta get bottles, but if Im going to have to buy them Id rather just pick new ones up at my LHBS then go through the hassle of arranging a meet time, and driving across town.
