    Thanks though. I was suggesting do some retailers sell lower than MAP. So if "X Manufacturer" sells to "Y Store Owner" for $5/Cigar, but they retail for $15/cigar...can Y sell them for $12?

    For example, if you become a distributor of Sony TVs you can't sell the TV less than "X" amount of dollars, or Sony will find you and you.

    If that makes sense.
    So basically you came here looking for some one that didn't know any better and sell them a $30 cigar for $60.

    Everyone had been to kind to you but ill say what needs to be said. FUCK YOU DICK WAD

    I would have made $7 after shipping them for free. So I came here to offer what I thought was a more expensive cigar than $35.00. After finding out they were only that much, I have no intentions of selling them.
    You should also remain professional in your posts...lol

    I am also looking for Padron 80th Anniversary Maduros if you have extras.

    Thanks

    Maybe if you could read, you would understand that previous to these responses, I looked online to compare prices and saw what I know now as inflated pricing. So to be honest I thought I would be making these cigars available cheaper than advertised.
    Anyway, do you have anything better to do than troll a Cigar forum? And by the look of your 1st grade English, you out to be smoking Swisher's at your local gas station.

    I'm learning. If a pupil is considered a troll, then this is not a community of willing educators.

    The poll? I get it - you did not know the difference. You were given information - which apparently rubbed you the wrong way. But learning always starts with a willing pupil. Sometimes the lessons are not as obvious, so you have to pay attention grasshopper.

    I apologized because i really dont want to lower my self to that level.


    I was having such a nice day sweating to death outside in the sun all day working, came home fired up a JDN and a shot of bourbon then read his post.

    I know his type and i want nothing to do with him.

    Right on. Still, you nailed it with your initial reaction, IMO.

    Well now...

    I guess we learned something about you - and you learned something about this community. See? There IS value in participating.

    I should caution you, though (as you might have surmised) - most folks on this (and other cigars boards, for that matter) don't necessarily care too much for "gouging". As a matter of fact - that's one thing that will get you on the outside of the circle REAL quick...

    Had you perhaps considered profiting on this cigars through eBay instead?

    Lol apparently these cigars aren't so rare, because I would gladly pay a premium for an item in high demand.

    Anyway, you won't be hearing about any cigars for sale by this guy, nor will I use polls at the top of my thread, which surprisingly aggravates people for some reason.

    I've been thinking on this post...

    "I would gladly pay for an item in high demand".

    A couple of thoughts...

    There's an awful lot of product out there in "high demand". "high demand" does not necessarily mean it should command a high price. For example - $60 for a Opus X "A". No doubt a nice cigar, but definitely not worth $60 to me. I can only think of one reason why anyone would be willing to pay more than retail for it - and it has nothing to do with the pleasant experience of smoking it (HINT: it's really, really big). ...and I truly cannot even justify paying $30 for it, even though I know they're difficult to produce.

    Perhaps i'm wrong, but you seem to be a person who "appreciates" quality (e.g. Opus X, Padron, etc.). I'm quite certain that intuitively you understand that high price due to high demand does not necessarily equate to high quality. By the same token typically high quality equates to high price. But - you rarely see anyone buying a Rolex Submariner for twice retail. That would by crazy... Errr.. I mean "eccentric".

    ...and any individual that would come into a community of watch afficianado's trying to sell a Submariner for twice retail would likely be sent packing.

    Just sayin''

    Rarity does bring a higher price...I hope you understand that. Gold, diamonds, Opus X A's, Bugatti's. Simple macroeconomics. The lower the quantity and the higher the demand, the larger the S with two vertical lines through it becomes.

    Thanks for the basic economics lesson, Einstein. I'm sure your freshman Macro Economics instructor would be proud you remembered that lecture.

    And my deepest appreciation again for the insight into who you are. Very helpful. I know it's beyond your conceptual limits, but I am hopeful that at some level you're appreciative of the "bug zapper's" in this community as there are certain assurances you won't be fleeced like the other sheep that think like you. If not - I believe you might find Puff.com more your speed.
