Hey guys yesterday me and friend had a very interesting discussion that lasted a while and we still could not come up with an answer that we felt is defintelly the standard that everyone should go by. So I decided to pose this question to you in hopes that perhaps between all of us we can reach the best solution.

By the way a similar post was made on a different board so if you happen to run across it don't feel that either is a rip off of the original

Here is the deal:

A certain reputable vendor has a sale. The terms are if you buy 4 boxes of cigars in a certain price range with let's say a total purchase price of a $1000 you will get a 10 count box of nice cigars for FREE This 10 count MSRPs for $170.

Scenario 1: It just happens that you don't enjoy that particular brand that the FREE 10 count is from although they are a very popular cigar enjoyed by many. Would it be ok to post on this or other forum that you are selling this 10 count? or trading it for something else?

Scenario 2: A few weeks after the purchase you decide to make some space in you inventory and if possible recoup some of your purchasing costs to either buy some other goods in the future or trade for those other goods now. So you have 2 5ers from 2 boxes that you are willing to either sell or trade. These are 5ers from the above purchase but not from the 10 count but other boxes. So lets say here is the cost break down ( $220, $250, $330, $200 + Free 10 count MSRP $170 ) What is the reasonable amount to sell or trade those 5ers for.


Now assume that the person knows that beyond just the monetary aspects there are also moral ones involved and it is not the persons motive to make a profit from someone but to simply try to get something done without putting himself at a loss at the same time.



If possible try to give in depth reasoning behind your choices as that is really what matters the most !!!!
