Operation: Find the Shittiest Deal on MyBeerCellar.com

[JulianB1]

In general what I've observed (maybe kscaldef and others who have purchased on MBC can chime in to let me know if I'm about right or full of it) is that unless you are trading whale for whale (or bourbon), it's "cheaper" to purchase whales (old lambic, early Veritas, etc.) on MBC than to put together a huge package of lesser beers that will entice someone who has that kind of bottle. Like for instance you could get a V004 for about $500 cash money (sometimes), whereas a volume trade for that beer using hyped new release adjunct stouts and AWAs would typically require volume on your end with a higher secondary market value than $500. On the other hand a lot of instawhale **** (and of course this is more a problem on MBCollectibles) can be traded for at a lower cost than what the insta-flippers are listing the sale bottles at (think current Prop and Vanilla).

Just did my first purchase for three bottles of gueuze (one from 2006). I ended up paying $130 and for those three bottles, I thought it was a good deal. The guy is shipping this week, we'll see how it goes. So far, communication has been great and my seller has done like 40 deals on there so I bet it goes fine. Lots of ripoffs on the site, but you can find some good deals too. I do 90% of my trades with regular trading buddies so I can see buying harder to get bottles as a good option going forward. Getting to the point where I have pared down the cellar a bit to where I'm not aching to give up what I have in trade for a harder to get bottle. Especially in cases where I'd need to combine 4-8 bottles to chase something like older lambic or KBBS, etc.

There is no real secondary beer market in the UK and Europe. And as much I admire all things American craft beer& its culture, My Beer Cellar and its manufactured market is a parasite **** ****** of a bastard greedy thing.

Just to put you into perspective, I recently purchased a 1983 Special Edition Thomas Hardy's Ale and how much did I pay for it??
The equivalent of just over $30 US
Absolutely
no
****.

So let's be generous and say that Rare, Vanilla, and King Henry add up to $500 (they don't). Let's also give him $500 for Bramble, Backyard, Prop, and Cherry Rye. Then this guy wants $1500 for:

-’06-’13 GI BCBS
-’10-’12 Coffee
-’13 Coffee (x2)
-’13 GI BCBBW (x2)
-’10 Sofie
-’10 Pere Jacques
-’10 Matilda
-’10 Fleur
-’11 Pepe Nero
-’09/’11/’12 GI Christmas
-’09 GI BCBS 22 oz
-’10-’11 Night Stalker
-’11-’12 Big John

I've bought a couple Bass Corkers off of eBay UK, but that's it. What secondary beer market there is seems more focused on extremely vintage stuff (corkers, royal occasion beers etc.)

I've stumbled upon this website, apparently designed in the internet's infancy, and have considered purchasing before: http://www.wessex-homebrew.co.uk/page16.html

Now I have cancer

Pristine unopened bottle of the highest rated beers of all time. I have cellared this in controlled climate and comes in original box. This is super rare. Good luck finding it elsewhere. Must be 21 to purchase w id. Cash only. Non negotiable.

None of those things are true

2010 Bourbon County Rare Stout. The boxes are completely unopened and have had 5 years to age, the maximum for these bottles. The beer itself was aged 2 years in 23-year old Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrels. This is a very rare bottle and brewed before Goose Island was bought out.

So many lies!! Why wouldn't you open the box? And why would the value go down if you did?

That's because the moderators are a bunch of idiots. Heck, one of them deletes troll threads and kicks users from the group, then posts his own troll threads that he blatantly acknowledges are trolling.

Well thank god it's fully aged, I think it's illegal to open the box before then
