When people that dumb became able to use the internet all that made sense to logical people ceased to exist.

Well, it's a 2007, and if you count cellaring time and opportunity cost...

BWAHAHAHA Sorry I couldn't keep a straight face. Yeah that's straight-up ridiculous.

Hey, 10x price for 4 years of aging is completely legitimate, right?

RIGHT?

I'd buy it...if we experienced hyperinflation sufficient to erode the purchasing power of the dollar to record lows.

I estimate that a nice 10^14% annual inflation rate will be necessary to make that bottle worth purchasing in a month.

Joel's $3200 for Feestbier has to be the winner. The guy just doesn't stop.

He knocked 12.5% off the price. Now you can score his Feestbier for only $2,800.

 

[cdmillard]

It's not a $2800.00 Feestbier, but this is kinda ludicrous...

Pretty sure they've sold on there for more.

 

[NYCBUCKEYE]

They typically sell for $800 so this is in line with market.

 

[cdmillard]

Wow. I just keep thinking...it's beer. That's insane...from a guy who has paid a lot for a bottle of beer!

 

[tehzachatak]

Bump, I found it: http://mybeercellar.com/?itm=8660

 

[Der Fuchs]

people who sell beer on there should be publicly shamed...

 

[Wagon Circler]

People will continue to sell as long as I continue to ball

 

[Bluecane]

Wine is a slightly different ballpark, as there are certain styles you're just not going to touch at lower end prices. There is almost no style of beer you can't easily have for under $30.

I'm not trying to come up with a grand manifesto on reasonable alcohol costs here, but given how few bottles of beer out there even retail at the $30 level, $100 for a bottle of just about any beer is absurd.

Can I like that JohnGalt liked this?

It's funny to us but we might not be the people these sites are marketed towards.

I mean ****, if you're filthy rich, and too busy being rich to chase trucks or send boxes to random internet weirdos, most of these are pretty reasonable.

Well, they're not reasonable, it's just that a certain point the marginal value of money is low enough that you can spend it frivolously. I think the buyers on these sites know that they're overpaying, it just doesn't matter to them.

Same difference. Rich people over pay for **** all the time. To them, paying 100 bucks for the convenience of having a Black Tuesday shipped to their door on a whim instead of going through the hassle to pay 30 is like a normal person paying 5 bucks for a box of Cheerios at a convenience store. You would rather pay 3 bucks at a supermarket, but it's reasonable to pay more for the convenience of having Cheerios when you want them.

I see it's a 6 pack, but.... $500 each? NOPE!

 

[swiftspitswap]

Not to mention the $515 shipping add on...that takes the total up to a nifty $585.83 each. For 6 2012 Utopias...you gotta be out of your ****ing mind.

$515 for shipping? Is it being couriered by HAND?

At this point I am convinced MBC is just full of trolls casting lines in the water, searching for retards.

Some of the stuff I see on there isn't TOO obnoxious, but the majority just seems to be clear attempts at taking advantage of the mentally challenged.

Sad, really.

A lot of beer for a lot of money. He does have 15 of the best Dark Lord vintage.

That's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year through.

It's like buying diebeetus for $6500.

At least you can bring on the 'beetus slowly for the low, low price of $141 a bottle.

Ouch. These beers sold individually could probably fetch $4k with MBC prices the way they are now - $200 for Rares, $150 for Vanillas, $60 for '09 Dark Lords. $3500 would be a reasonable price to pay for a bulk purchase 3 1/2 cases of vintage dark lord and some BCBS vurrients.

So mybeercellar.com is one of those comedy sites, like collegehumor.com, right?

Jokes are a bit one-note though. It's always people asking crazy money for semi-rare or non-rare beers. Is this a US thing us Euros don't understand?

Tha ****?

"Description
Empty bottle. Properly cellared since I purchased it, a truly great beer.


Sealed
Yes"

So is it empty or sealed?

Not many people are buyers at those prices. Most of us laugh at it just like you.

It's sealed, but being "empty" is how people "get around" one of the websites rules. Bottles must be older than 12 months. Cherry Rye came out at the end of November I believe.

Besides the multiple Stone 02.02.02 available for $400 I think this one is pretty terrible:

Yes: I'd love that 2 year old DIPA and California Common. $200 you say? Done!

It was the groundbreaking introduction.
