    You may "think" it will cost you "between 6 & 7 bucks" but the reality is it will cost you $5.15 to ship a one pound package anywhere in the country by Priority Mail if you pay on-line.

    That being said, the only cigars you have that I'm remotely interested in are your Oliva V. You want $6.00 per cigar and I can get a box of 24 from Famous for 130.99 which is $5.45 per cigar.

    Why should I pay you $18.00 plus "6 or 7 bucks" shipping for three cigars I can buy cheaper at my shop paying full retail plus sales tax never mind get a whole lot cheaper if I were to by them directly from Famous-Smoke and not have to pay for gas to drive into town?

    No one here or anywhere is going to buy your cigars at the ridiculous prices you're asking because you really have nothing to offer.

    Tell ya what, I'll give you $10.00 for your three Oliva Vs and that includes shipping and you ship first.

    Not unlike Girl Scout cookies or those tins of popcorn the Boy Scouts sell - give from your heart even though her prices are out of line. Fromunda needs the profit - she has student loans to pay off!

    Me? I'm investing in Girl Scout cookies...

    First of all let me say I will ship at cost. I will print the postage on the label so you know I am not falsely charging a shipping fee. I have no clue what it would cost, if it costs 5.15 then that is how much I will charge. I would not charge 6 or 7 dollars to ship 3 cigars. Second of all, I am not interested in detering you from buying a box of V's, go for it. I paid 6 dollars at the store so I was just asking the same for them. A five pack at famous-smoke without shipping is $29 which is about 6 dollars. Lastly I cannot sell these for $10 shipped. That is ridiculous. If you have a serious interest in buying anything, try talking to me instead of accusing me. Who knows we may work out a good deal. I might be easy to talk to.

    I'm not "accusing" you of anything,I already "talked" to you and made you an offer, there's really nothing more to "talk" about, take it or leave it. I have no interest in a whole box but I do have a "serious interest" in purchasing three of them from you for a total of ten dollars. You may not have a "clue" as to what shipping would cost but I do, it's $5.15 for USPS priority mail, label printed on line which includes free delivery confirmation. You might be able to do it cheaper by using 1st class but that would require you to go to the post office as the USPS won't allow you to print a shipping label on-line for using that method of shipment.

    There's nothing to "work out" that's all they're worth to me and I'm not interested in any other cigars you have listed so that's my "final answer" as Regis Philbin used to say.

    I'm not wasting anymore time on this with you, ten bucks shipped, get it? Don't keep arguing with me because all you'll do is piss me off, you either take it or leave it.

    let me see if I understand you correctly. When you bought those cigars, did you think to yourself they'd be an investment? In other words - I'll but them now, age them a piece, then sign up at a cigar board to sell them for more than what i paid? ...on your very first post?

    If nothing else that's sure egocentric (putting it kindly)...

    Have you given much thought about selling them on Craig's list?.
