Disreputable Retailers

[SuperChuck]

Hmm.... (I don't know how technically feasible this is, but...)

Some kind of "vendor rating system" which would would apply a bright red "hazardous retailer" or bright green "quality retailer" decal to the retailers headers. A few types of ratings may be involved (and may need to be defined on a per-retailer basis).

For example, a bright red "CHARGES OVER MSRP" might be applicable to a retailer to charges more than 1.5x MSRP or "SLOW SHIPPING" may apply to a retailer who has good prices, but it suspect on the shipping time...

Of course, the rules should be changed to reflect this rating system so no retailer cries foul.

I'm kind of averse to banning someone for posting high prices. As much as we should try to protect newbies from paying said prices, we do live in a capitalist society and if someone WANTS to pay $40 for an Opus, that's their perogative.

I think just a vendor "Scumbag" list would suffice. We can start it off with TWCIGARS and The Cigar Emporium

If somebody charges more than suggested retail than I think whoever buys it at that price instead of checking elsewhere to see what they go for is a sucker and not a good buyer.

True but many times the buyers don't know if they're getting ripped off and I think those vendors who do gouge regularly should have their name in lights somewhere.

Maybe this way, they'll think twice about pulling shit like that.

Or then you have shitheads like TBSCigars who may have good prices but are nothing but rude inconsiderate assholes when they posts on these boards and again should have their name in lights for that reason alone. If someone is arrogant, ignorant, irrational and rude on a cigar board, imagine what kind of shithead he'd be if you had a problem with your order?

wow ... TBScigars is somewhere I'll never buy from, if I get ripped off from you, it's my own fault!

Well TBS is here http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2571.html with 3 positive ratings.

Pricing is something easy to look up, but reputation and service I guess you need a site like this. Perhaps a sub-forum where people can post about vendors or something.
