FS-boxes, 5'rs and coffins

[Paddy]

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.

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.

You're right. That's not an opinion that is a fact. You caught my mistake. You are very observant. It seems that it really bothers you...I would suggest you don't by the one empty box that is left, that's my 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".

Was feeling a bit spry today. I wanted to see where the road would lead if I kept feeding the horse. I saw lots of things along the way.

Nice, so you're trolling, cool.

[guado]

I just wanted to see truths. The road was being paved for me.

[heftysmokes]

Nevermind.

We all have our opinion on this. I am not backing down, and those opposed won't either. Sadly it came to this. When someone could have just sent a PM and said... "Hey Eddie, I know you havent been here in a while but it is bad form on this board to sell empty boxes. You mind taking them down?"

They would have been taken down as fast as the next time I checked this board. However, when people take it upon themselves to be smart asses and take jabs at you it causes a different and usually opposite reaction. I don't know about you guys but I will always stand my ground when pushed around in public in a manner that was displayed here. Sure I could have been a bit more PC but why? The instigators of the thread hijack are clearly visible.

I hope you all have a good day. I'm getting paid to be here till 8am. I'm sure this thread will stay alive...

[heftysmokes]

You're probably right, a pm probably would have been the right way to go. Hopefully you can understand that at the outset, I wasn't posting because of some secret grudge and I don't think Will was, either (you're right, I shouldn't speak for him). His post to you was respectful and I think we were both trying to tell you that selling boxes was in poor form. Just because we didn't do it via p.m. doesn't make the message any different. Take this how you will.

[guado]

Points taken.

I'm starting to see where you're coming from... From my view Eddie, I think you should know that horses do much better feeding on carrots than arsenic.

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.
