Trade-Up Tuesday - Part 6

Of course, the Stagg Jr Batch 15 was going to raise a few eyebrows and it certainly did. I wanted to trade whatever bottles I received as a package, but later learned this tactic wasn’t the best way. I’m getting ahead of myself. I did trade the Stagg and the Bourye for another pair. Some may think this trade was a step back but I had a vision and wanted to capitalize where I could while still helping someone out. I ended up receiving a Weller 107 along with a Bowman Single Barrel. Retail valuations were fairly close so we shook hands and closed out deal number 6.

Just a quick recap, a JTS Brown BiB has landed me this OWA and Bowman SiB after 6 trades. How far do you think this can go? A little secret…this got popular quick and there are quite a few more trades to announce 😉🥃

Trade-Up Tuesday - Part 5

The Blood Oath Pact 7 brought more attention than I thought it would. It took me a little longer to sift through offers and determine which was going to be the best fit. This was a hard process as I was trying to train my mind not to just go with the trade that I personally like best but one that would encompass the entire picture.

The offer that seemed to work the best in this situation was a Stagg Jr. Batch 15 along with a ‘18 High West BouRye. I knew both would generate quite a bit of interest so I made it work. A very generous offer and another successful trade closed out a fun part 5.

Recap: JTS Brown -> Buffalo Trace SiB Selection -> 2x Henry McKenna 10 Year -> 1792 SiB (SP) & 1792 BiB (SP) -> Blood Oath Pact 7 -> Stagg Jr (15) & BouRye (18)

Trade-Up Tuesday - Part 4

One of the hardest parts of this project was not telling everyone what I was planning. Only a select number of folks knew what I wanted to do. Also, each person I traded, I made it a point to explain the bottle(s) I received would be turned right around and traded out, just out of respect.

The two 1792 Single Barrel Selections brought quite the attention as I had anticipated. The offers flooded my inbox and it was tough to determine who’s I would go with. But after careful consideration, I felt this trade was the best for both parties and more in line for what I was working on. So the two 1792’s were moved for a Blood Oath Pact 7. It was the entire presentation so it also included the wooden box. As always, I made sure this was something the other party wouldn’t have any regrets trading. A smiling face and a great meetup proved there was no regret.

Recap: JTS Brown -> Buffalo Trace SiB Selection -> 2x Henry McKenna 10 Year -> 1792 SiB (SP) & 1792 BiB (SP) -> Blood Oath Pact 7
