Is it just me or is CW17 valued lower than it should be? I remember 1414 and 15 being like gold. Now there were a ton of 17 getting sold for $25 on CCBE. And traded for Hunter variants! Is it the 8 bottle limit and every FIB going to get it? I don't understand #newMoney bottle valuing. Like at all.
 
ApocalypseZombie and Treebs made me break CBE again. It was worth it.

I had so many LULZ from that post. Jimmies were rustled

The jimmies were rustled so hard. All they have are fat jokes. Like they bother me.

mjohnson17 told me someone reported me to central waters. I can't wait for Paul to send me an email. I hope he does. I missed him yesterday in the short time I was there.

might as well change the thread title to CCBE Troll Locker Room. if it and its denizens are so worthless, let it alone. like shooting spitballs at the substitute teacher.
 
Well then.

Straight Jacket it is. I will have to buy multiple, of course, to make myself feel better about the loss.

EDIT:
Also, Arbitrator, a followup per our earlier discussions of this. Sucaba (and probably Parabola) definitely no longer on the easy to get in Chicago list.

:(
Check that rip off liquor store in Hampshire.

FW gets to Hampshire?!

I had to take that bus ride for the playoffs my soph. year (04)....they played ******* "peanut butter jelly time" out of the one old ass 1950's metal cone PA speaker while we were running plays pre-game.

First time any of us had heard it and I'm pretty sure the 2 back stopped mid-motion and we all just turned and stared in disbelief while trying to figure out what the **** was going on.
 
I'm done with that group. I just can't.

HAY GUYZ I LIVE 30 MIN FROM THE CITY AND IM WILLING TO DRIVE LIKE AN HOUR WHERE CAN I GET FOOD AND BEER??1>!

Kill yourself.

I left that group after like 2 weeks when I saw a guy offering mule services + gas for a run from the ******* North subs down to Liquor World in Kankakee (+/- 2hr drive) ((relatively close to me and used to be my spot for random gems)).

The shelves were bare for like a month afterwards. Thank god they took themselves off of beermenus.

That dude gets a lot of stuff, but he's a scumbag. 250 for lot b, 35 for love child, he also sold his prop and vanilla on craigslist but forgot to not make the post at his shop haha

My guess is that there's just that much more 17. Plus 16 was available at the brewery forever after the anniversary party. So anyone who wanted it could stock up. I know of a few 'sconies who ended up with multiple cases.

However that doesn't mean everyone is smart. Did you guys see 16 on MBC?There was a dude asking for $200/bottle and another asking $150ish for two.
 
Difference with CW17 this year is the fact that NewMoney is much more into flipping beer immediately (as evidenced on CBE) which deflates the "market" and subsequently pushes the "value" down. Couple that with the influx of the 'OMG THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AT CW THIS BEER ROCKS LOL CAN I TRY SOME OF THOSE BOTTLES YOU'RE SHARING BRO I DIDN'T KNOW ALL THESE GREAT BEERS WOULD BE HERE OR I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT SOME DINO SMORES' crowd and, well, there you have it.

Not supporting their business practices but to be fair Galleria has always been extremely overpriced. Its nice if you really need a bottle of something that's been long gone off other store's shelves, but you're paying for that luxury. You could walk in and still buy 2013 BCBS from them up until a few weeks ago. And it used to be one of the few places to pick up just about any FFF beer before their expansion and increased distribution last year.

Completely agree. I just missed the train at Southport yesterday and had 15 minutes to kill until the next one came. They did have Straight Jacket for $17.99 which was shocking to me considering their markup's of anything similarly limited.
