I am an approved seller on BR but have only used it twice.  My first sale was a box of Bolivar RC and someone in China bought it.  Shipping was a pain but after some delay the buyer paid and everything was good.  The last time  I checked the site I noticed more sellers excluding all counties other then the US.  In the brief time I have been a member here I have found it to be a much more enjoyable community to be a part of.

I’m registered on there as a buyer, though I have only made a few transactions. Yes, the 15% fee was absolutely a sour pill to swallow, but I saw some things I wanted and snatched them quickly. Luckily I’ve had very good experiences, with little to no bidding competition, and also great communication from the few sellers with whom I’ve dealt. I still text back and forth with one of them regularly “Hey man, what you smoking today?” and have traded with him outside of BR too, at his offering.
The smokes I’ve gotten from BR have been regular production stuff, actually all JL 1’s and 2’s, with a good amount of age and in fantastic shape. One box of JL 2’s was listed saying that 5 of the sticks had “slight damage to the foot,” and hardly no one else bid on them. When they came, I immediately checked out every one of them. The foot damage on those 5 was so insignificant and barely noticeable. My luck might not be everyone’s luck, though, and certainly others might have had some negative experiences, whereas I have not.

I go in there regularly just to look at boxes and drool, but haven’t bought there in a some months.
