I'm not getting this under / over-lier stuff. I'm not sure why my average for the Party D is off.
Will,

I got your $7.48 average price when I originally did the math: =((175.15+223.95+172.25+198+171+173.6+229.4+194.3+ 164+168.75)/25)/10

I then threw out the lowest value ($164). I probably, for fairness, thrown out the highest value ($229.40). Where I got my number, I actually threw out the lowest two prices, but still didn't come up with the $7.92. I was just wondering how that number was arrived at. If I understand correctly, the whole thought behind throwing out highest or lowest prices found is that they are not a true reflection of what the cigars can realistically be bought for. In the above case, I would think that the higher values (the $220+) would be tossed out if anything, because they are the only values which are above $200 - all the rest of the values are relatively close to each other. I may have misunderstood this train of thought, however.

I did take the price of the Vegas Robaina at the value it was traded in, which was $7.60, when Rich put it in the pass. I thought I remembered reading something somewhere in this thread where craig mentioned the ISOM sticks going into the pass remain at the price they were traded in at - that's why I kept the VR at a static value. Ultimately, however, the host has the final say.
