Second Humidor Purchase Question

[ndv21]

Allright, I am playing around with the idea of getting a second humidor definately bigger than my current one since I have apparently outgrown it. Some of the pics of my current humidor are posted at :

I am looking at a few humidors that are wallet friendly (I know keeping cigars properly humidified as prized possesions is key). I was however looking online (ebay) and found the following humys that fit the size I want:

Does anyone have any with any of these or are there any words of wisdom you can offer at this point. I think the price is too good to be true but I wanted to check with the more experienced members here. I would obviously spend more money if it ment keeping my cigars properly humidified but if any of the above would work, then I would go for it.

Thanks in advance!

When dealing with ebay, I always read the previous customer's comments.
I bought a humidor from a different seller recently. It is in its settling stage, so the jury is out. All seems to be going well however.

Instead of buying another humidor you might outgrow, or some huge expensive one, have you considered the coolidor?

I'm running 3 humidors right now; a Thompson 120 count (glass door with three 20 count trays), and a pair of 75 to 100 count humidors from CheapHumidors.com (the
Olde World" themed one with the olde world maps on it, and a plain jane box). You would think with three humidors I would have some room, but I don't.

If I can find a decent sized cooler out here, or even a small fridge, it'll get turned into a coolidor.

I agree with Kris on this one. Your present humidor is big enough to hold a selection of go-to cigars. Get a cooler or start with one you already own. Fill it with water and a cup of bleach and let it sit for a while to get rid of any odors. Then rinse it out, put some beads in it and load it up. The advantages are that they are big, cheap and you don't mind sticking them in a closet or basement, so they hold a pretty constant temperature over a 24 hour period. You also tend to only open them about once a month to restock your desktop, which further helps stability.

I think that you can never buy a big enough desktop, so start with a coolador. You eventually may want to get an end table sized humi or a tower.

When I was looking into getting my second humidor I too came across these and thought they were too good to be true. I then researched it a little more by googleing the sellers name, ebay humidors, etc. etc. Came across a couple places saying they were fake and one place actually showed you how it was a fake. It was a while back so i can't remember the sellers name or anything but point is, I'd stay away from any humidors on ebay that seem "too good to be true".
