Would You Pay $4K for Dark Lord? [UPDATED]

Three Floyds Dark Lord has a cult following, and it's almost impossible to get - you have to stand in line at Dark Lord Day, as our correspondent did, to get a chance to buy the brews. Or, if you have too much money and not enough time, you could try to buy it from a re-seller. At these prices, we wouldn't recommend it. Hopcast tweeted out a link Saturday, showing that user "roughwithchairs" was auctioning off a full set of four Dark Lord releases from this year for $4000 . As of this morning, the sale has ended, but it looks like none of the bids were accepted. Hopefully, this was either a joke or the seller realized that there was no way on Earth that this was going to happen. Dark Lord Day is exciting and all, but dropping that kinda dough on four bottles of beer is a scary thought.

UPDATE: From a reader - "The facts on this are a little off - the auction was for the four SUPER-LIMITED varietals of Dark Lord that FFF's had never done before (and didn't guarantee to do ever again) - NOT the regular Dark Lord Imperial Stout that is released every year."

Yeah. Still not worth 4K. But thanks for the clarification.
