Gougers & Profiteers

[family guy]

See retodd has a hard time understanding Econ 101 and free market Capitalism. If he had a blowup doll he would spend less time here and not care what other charged for there cigars.  Since, he got thrown off all the dating sites this is his life. We need to get retodd a doll ASAP so we can end these worthless rants.

You talk awfully big for a guy with 20-some posts and 1 measly trader comment here... good luck peddling your "golden" Franks.  Maybe you should try ebay...there are more idiots there who may pay your utterly ridiculous asking price. Keeping family out of this is easy...and safe to say that no one will ever refer to you as a "brother" when you are making 8x on the cigars you sell here.

Talk awfully big? I suppose the next thing you're going to say is that you want to meet outside by the swings at 10:00 so that we can solve our differences with fisticuffs.

this is one interesting thread ...  I don't know how this forum was a few years ago.

But alike our offline counterparts ... it's always going to have profiteers to move product that's hot, flipping sticks, ect ... but it still beats places like cbid when some jerkoff pays over $60 a stick for a OpusX Double Robusto or Ebay when some ding-dong wants almost $500 for a box of pigs.

but then again look @ the doof that posted that Franks ... lol what a joke.
Come on I've seen CGR go for $120 per ...

I've had a Frank and though it was good ... if it wasn't for all the hype and demand. I don't think I would have gone out of my way to purchase these sticks.

From my recent experience ... A good amount of PJ's stuff has been a miss for me (Face, New El Lance, '08 Verite-OMG I wanted to shoot myself for picking up two boxes, ect).

About the DE sticks ... the flying pig does taste better 'cause it's limited ... but it's a stick I would smoke once in awhile (does actually taste good ... solid Nc flavor and meaty thick smoke) I concur DE sticks are pricey esp with all the taxes involved.

The gougers are great entertainment.

Not at all... I have no interest in your golden franks, I just don't like Gougers, like you.  And no one else here in their right mind will send you $1200 for a box of cigars when you have no credibility.  

Just an FYI...a full box of these sold here about 1 month ago for $500 shipped.

If someone wants to buy cigars from me and needs to check my credibility than I would be more than happy to point them to places where I have lots of feedback.

Can you please post the link to the box that sold here about 1 month ago for $500 shipped?

People often delete their sale threads after their item sells. I looked and can't find that thread now. I know the member who got them, and he was happy to find a full box and he was ok with that price. Another member here sold 4 Franks for 35 a stick too.  I am sure that his thread is posted earlier in this same thread.

I have no idea what the Frank box is worth but I paid $25 shipped for an empty Frank box, and the same member included a Boris box for free in that deal.

Actually- Wade, the site admin and owner, periodically cleans(deletes) the threads in the TSBC.  Used to be monthly, however he may do it more often now.  You cannot delete a thread in the TSBC after a few minutes or hours, I don't remember. 

on another note,

HAhahahahaha!!!!!  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: 100 a stick for Franks!!! LMAO.  Now that was the laugh of the day.

[adriftpanda]

Thanks for making me laugh. This might joke of the month.

[smelvis]

I recently within the last month or so bought 4 single Franks for $100 I also about the same time bought a full box opened only for inspection for $300 I was so happy I sent $325 and he even sent me the matching shirt with the box number on the sleeve.

I used ISO's offering $25 per cigar and found there are decent good brothers out there.

$1200 for a box I hate to say it but if someone pay's that they kind of deserve what they get. Dammit!

BTW The Franks are smoking great Thanks again to the guy's who sold me these. I have smoked three myself and shared three with friends which to me is what they are for. I didn't smoke many Monsters until I had all the boxes and now I am in Tat heaven.

Feel free to continue smoking your discounted cuban cigars that blow the Franks away.
