I bought a bottle of this for 9€ a month ago. I feel like mybeercellar sellers would be appropriate for targeted drone strikes.

I'll give you 10€ and a label for it (you can keep the change). Thanks!

Generous offer, but I think I'll drink it.

It is commonly considered to be the greatest breakfast style barrel aged stout of all time.

To me, the most mind blowing aspect of selling someone a KBBS for a thousand dollars is not including free shipping. I mean, come on, you gotta sweeten the deal somehow. Nothing more tempting about a 1000 dollar bottle of beer than free ******' shipping.

I seriously doubt the authenticity of some of these. Makes me wonder if some ass-hat had two accounts or if they have a friend "buy" it but not ever actually pay and get it just trying to drive up the value?!?

At this point that's the only explanation. I would not be surprised at all if people were manipulating these sites to affect trade value, since it's so common now for people to use MBC $$$'s to compare trades. That works (more or less) if the sites are actual fair markets, but if they're not...

I've thought this as well but what causes me to give pause is how there seem to be several different buyers and sellers rather than it being the same people on both ends of the transaction more than once. In particular some of the auctions on MBCollectibles have a bunch of different bidders.

That's sinister, but definitely not a crazy idea.

I think you might be vastly underestimating the amount of free time some beerds have.

relevant:

am i the only one kinda bothered by the fact that the $1275 being charged for 3 bottles doesn't include free shipping? can't let that $25 shipping charge eat into my profits!

also, the friends and family option is... 3%, yes? in this case it's $38ish but i've seen posts asking for friends and family when the bottle is like $75. seriously? you couldn't foot that $2 charge yourself?

I can almost guarantee that this is occurring.

An arithmetic problem that is likely too difficult for most of my college algebra students.

I'm legitimately curious as to the actual MSRP for that listing.

1250 bottles in the lot works out to $22.40 each. Given all the Cascade, Eclipse, and Bruery, I'm not sure it's all that far off retail.

Well, this guys has 3 Cascade bottles I'm missing for my Cascade tasting. Not sure I feel like taking a second mortgage to get those 3 bad boys though.

I like also the fact that the bottle count for some is "0".

If it's true I feel bad but some people on Facebook are claiming the guy passed away and his wife is trying to sell all the beers

I want those GcBs though.

Hair of the dog prices might be off... But I don't know the actual cost. They charge 30 bucks a 12oz bottle for that **** my way. It sits on the shelf.

 

[oregonskibum1]

Doggie Claws $4-5, from the wood $10-15.

Westy Brick for $10? Please tell me where.

You should add columns for current retail value. Cantillon 2006 Iris may have been $20 at original retail, but let's get real - no one would sell it for that today.

My rough back of the napkin estimate - stated MBC price of $28k is 25-30% above original retail.
