Fuente Prices (finally!)

[CoventryCat86]

There's really no such thing as MSRP with cigars. With tobacco taxes different in every state, as well as any given store's markup, there is no possibility for a product like this to have a MSRP.

Now that's not true at all. For instance, MSRP for an Añejo 48 is $8.00 + tax. In Connecticut the ONLY tax is sales tax which is 6% so when my stores have them, if they're selling for more than $8.48, they are gouging.

Just because a bunch of stupid bastards will pay $30.00 for these cigars on CigarBid, DOES NOT mean the cigar are worth it.

I do computer work for my local cigar shop and that's not how he does it at all. He takes his wholesale price, adds tax, and adds a 30%-ish markup for profit. His pricing sheets never have a suggested price.

I guess I really don't care because when I buy Añejos, Opus X, Padron 1926s, etc., I never pay more than MSRP for the cigars.

I'd love to buy your cigars but not for crazy prices, sorry......

Like I said, I'll just sell them locally... but there really isn't a set MSRP. If I go to the nearest 10 cigar shops, all of their cigars differ within $0.10 - $2.00. It's a wholesale market with store markup... it's not like retail stores at all where they buy from manufactureres at wholesale and sell at the prices they want them to.

We are a community of like minded brothers who enjoy cigars and all aspects of them. We are not here to profit from our brothers. You are not here to be a part of that community, you only wish to gouge unsuspecting people. You will not find this a very welcoming community for that type of activity. We don't care what some guy you do work for does. All that tell us is you need to confine your relationship with that person to the work you do for him and find yourself a new shop.

If you wish to backpeddle and attempt to sell cigars at MSRP you might crawl out of the hole you are about to dig and might do some business. But please don't hold your breath.

I don't understand why everyone needs to get into this. I didn't know what to sell at so I asked first and no one said anything. Then, once I suggest a price everyone starts attacking me about it? I already said I'll just sell locally, no big deal.

Seems fairly self explanatory to me.

If you wish to just sell them locally and it's no big deal, why do you continue to respond?

Just because I am going to sell locally instead doesn't mean the conversation needs to end for no reason.
