Gurkha Commemorative Warrior's Chest

[Caveman]

Hi All,

I have been visiting for a while and never really posted, just too busy. I own a small cigar company in Texas and I am shutting it down.

I own several humidors, but one of my favorite prized possesions is a Gurkha Commemorative Warrior's Chest. There were only 108 made. It truly is just beautiful.

I want to sell it, but not sure what the value is on the open market. Wanted to see if someone knew something on these limited edition humidors.

I would appreciate any information you want to share with me.

Thanks,

Andy

Somebody please help...

I kinda like the poll : Was this useful information? OR Was this useful information?

Of course, I will vote for "Was this useful information"

I would prefer it say Torano and cost 1/5 the price.

That being said nothing sets the value like the market.

I bid $20 plus shipping.

I'd say cinda's probably gonna be the high bidder here.

The poll closed before I had a chance to vote - can you re-open it please?

All,

I just recieved an email from the company who manufactured this product and they said that all 108 were sold and there are no more available from them.

I asked if it was possible if some of these sites that are still listing the products for sale really have them in stock - they responded not likely, since they were last manufactured in 2007, but there might be a very slight chance, but not likely.

What they also said was that this is a highly valued Collector's Item now and finding one on the open market is extremely rare.

They estimated the current value at about $3800

Wowza! Well then, I bid $38 if the shipping is free.

Well then - with this new information you've provided, I believe this to be WAY out our league. I cannot imagine that anynone on this site would be able to even begin to scratch the surface with the money this incredible find is worth!

Perhaps you should talk with Rick Harrison at Gold and Silver Pawn in Las Vegas. He has an incredible base of experts that would be able to accurately assess what your humidor could be worth! I also bet he'd give you fair value, if you wanted to sell it.

...or perhaps you should consider putting up for auction at Christie's!

ggiese - Hey, I didn't set the price, I was just trying to find out what it was worth and the company that made them told me.......

Thanks for all your assistance guys.... greatly appreciated.

So, the manufacturer led you to believe that those websites are selling bogus products, but we're supposed to believe you? And why wouldn't the manufacturer lead you to believe that it's a rare find? Could it be possible that all 107 others are for sale by other dealers looking to get this out of their way?

Riddle me this - what are you looking to get for it? Let's start there. We may have a contestant that has overbid, Bob!

Bob - You could be right, I can see your point, that some dealers have been holding this product in their warehouses since 2007... possible, very possible, not wanting to sell them, just waiting for the prices to go up - very visionary and quite possible.

Do you run a business? If anyone understand business, nothing sits in the warehouse, everything sells - business 101. Profit is always realized at the time of sale, especially in the cigar business.

You don't have to believe me, never stated or asked that you had to Bob, just supplying the information that the manufacturer provided to me and i'm sharing with everyone - that is what I thought this site was about.

I do think this is good information for anyone who may have a rare find out there, old collector's humidors, one offs, garage sale humidor etc... - they are worth something to some out there.

BALL, Just on the Outside.
