Who bought the fakes?

It doesn't make you a gouger even if you bought high and then TRIPLED the price to sell it. Booze (and cigars) are not [u][b]necessities[/b][/u] so gouging is not possible. Gouging is when people are forced to buy necessities at artificially inflated prices. It's almost amusing how many people on here feel ENTITLED to buy something that they WANT, and think they have any right to decide the price. They have the right to decide if they want to buy, period. The idea that just because someone else happens to smoke cigars they are obligated to sell at any price other than they choose is beyond ludicrous. Imagine someone going into a store and throwing a tantrum, screeching "your prices are too high, you are gougers". They'd be laughed out of the store, and for good reason...IMO :) Something else that folks don't seem to notice is that the whining isn't even consistent. Some folks seem to get a pass, and their butt buddies jump in to defend them if someone questions their prices. How ridiculous is that ?

The moral of the story here is: get in good with Bob Vivant, Miamipadronsmoker, Michaels, etc and the Price Police will probably leave you alone. Not part of their little clique ? Sorry, the Price Police will decide that you don't have a right to price your personal property as you choose :)

Maybe they should sell their stocks and gold at what they paid for them. :)

I bought the p4's for a friend.
the wrapping was odd but the sticks were perfect. i smoked one and it was excellent.
seems like this thread was much ado about nothing. thanks gene

Passing fakes in sampler packs should also bring heat to the fake cigar passer also. Regardless of if it was a bonus or whatever you have to tell yourself to make the deal legit.

I would rather pay an overinflated price for a real cigar than get a bargan on a bunch of fakes.

Anyone see the time share presentation voucher being offered to trade for cigars?  LMAO!  Seen it all now.

So, what's the problem? I'm trying to trade something I don't want for something I do. I have followed all of Wade's rules, I have not and wont bump it 10 times like some other sellers and based on the feedback I am getting there are a number of people who are interested. If you take a look at my feedback you will see I have never done a deal that anyone was not 100% happy with.

Show me the issue, or are you just whining because you have nothing better to do?

I'd probably "lol" if it were some random guy that no one knows... but Fred is known by many and a legit BOTL.

Yep Fred's a standup guy and he has been around here for a long time. If he wants to get his "Hollywood 79" on one-time, he shouldn't get called out on it.
