Eddie...I trust you and would trade or buy from you any day. I do wish you would participate a bit more if you are going to sell. This place had a bit more comraderie than Online Humidor.

Like I said this is home turf. Between all the added responsibilities I have taken my little free time and have been spending most of it with my wife and dogs. The cigars are still there but the laptop stays at home. At work for 24hrs today. I'll be popping in and out on here since my the area I am in today is historically slow.

My post count on all the boards has bottomed out. But my life at home has really taken an upturn for the better. Not that is was ever bad, it just allows me to really focus on how awesome my family is. I was letting my online families take way to much time away from my real family(yes I spent the greater part of 5-6 hours a day on forums more on some days).

Once i move to my new place and stop paying for two mortgages and get settled into my "forever" home things may change. So until then I cant promise more activity. If I sell some things, I will still post them here also. If I have free time I will try to post up.

I'm not an advertiser and never will be. I smoke cigars(and pipes) Its what I do. If I can't measure up to a couple peoples' standards then maybe you should delete my account. It seems there are only two people on here than have a problem with me. If you two are the speakers of the house let me know.

Not gonna delete your account...You are welcome here. I applaud you for making the right decision family wise. I too don't have the time to post in the way I used to have. Family always is first. Based on what I know about you I'd bet you understand why the sale might have raised an eyebrow or two.

or more. I don't think I've ever seen an empty box offered for sale in the exchange forum. I could certainly be wrong, but I sure can't recall any. I've seen several given away, maybe shipping paid by the receiver, but that's about it.

Oh, please. You were around long enough as a regular contributor to know how this board works. Accounts don't get deleted.


Nobody on this thread "has a problem with you." The only problem I have is the fact that you're selling your boxes for profit. The last box of cigars I bought, the box was actually included with the price. That's why I recommended you sell your stuff in the advertising section.

[guado]

Should I "advertise" that included freebies will exceed purchase price? But a bad BOTL only profits from the boards...

The flaw in your argument is no one buys on the exchange section looking for the added "freebies" you're so proud of.

ETA: The BOTL who throw some "freebies" in, do so because they're BOTL. And, since you're making time on your "home turf," take a quick look at the past 40 or 50 threads and check how many guys were making profit.

And in your argument of me making a "profit" do the math and tell me how much a profit I am making on what I am selling...as a whole. I spent quite a bit of cash getting a hold of some of these cigars. But if you see it as profit, you are entitled to your opinion.

I don't have issue with the cigars you're selling and I could give a shit that you may or may not be taking a bath on them.

My point is, you did not buy the boxes. You bought cigars. You are now selling the packaging. That is not an opinion.

Guado, I'm not aware of any bad blood that would cause you to think you're being singled out, or would otherwise refrain from posting. In my view it's truly a shame you're choosing to view the feedback you're receiving as so negative and personal. And - it's understandable but also a shame we've not seen you around much lately. While I do enjoy seeing you post, I fully understand and appreciate the time well spent with your family in favor of your dialogue with us.

That said - I'm a little suprised by your responses. Fair is fair... Not that it's this way in every online cigar community, but it has always been, and continues to be, in "bad form" within this community to sell empty boxes (I suspect the "puff" crowd will have a differing view). Personally, I cannot even phathom not receiving the same kind of feedback from the community if I put up my empty boxes for sale, even if it is something that is HTF.

If it were me - looking to pick up a coupla quick bucks for the holidays - I'd sell 'em on eBay under a cute assumed name handle, like "OpusXBuck".

I have (ten)* of them, you wanna buy some? I have the original box too if you're interested for an extra $20.00 LMFAO!

EDIT: Nine, not ten. I'm tossing one of these into a sampler for someone here.

I just want to attest that Eddie has kept in contact with members via email.
I am one of them. I also want to reinforce that Eddie is not a profiteer.
I was privy to a pre-sale list and purchased boxes of HTF Tat’s at way below market value. Although I do see the point on empty boxes. Maybe shill them at BOTL where it’s more of a free for all atmosphere.
