Seems like Pete did a good job with getting the Face out this year

They seem to be pretty easy to find and seems to have made most of the consumers who havent been able to get them in the years past able to find them pretty easy this year

10-23-2010, 03:05 PM

This is very true. It's nice to see a kudos to Pete thread for once!

Bill86 · 10-23-2010, 03:07 PM

Yeah I have a few gripes but all in all....not bad. I can't speak for the previous years but to get my boxes I didn't go through too much of a hassle. Few phone calls and a list.... There was some BS with certain retailers jacking their prices up. Uptowns in Nashville did me right though. The next day after the event they called in the order of the list and didn't charge me more.

I have nothing negative to say. I think for a limited release many people got a chance to get at least one. And the 10 count boxes are still flowing in. Pete really does his best to remember us and still not become jaded by flooding the market with sub-par product

Are there places selling 5ers? Don't want a box, just a few...a new week is coming up and cigar funds are about to be replenished

MiamiE · 10-23-2010, 03:58 PM

Hopefully the quality isnt affected by the extra production!

Just keep watching the boards in the next week or so, I'm sure you will have no problem getting some from other BOTLs

Wonder if the waste of skin from last year will be back. Forget the username, but he was asking triple retail for the Dracs (IIRC) because that was a reasonable price for the "secondary market."

Hard to cough up the cash when I don't even know if I would enjoy it at all. Waiting to get my hands on 1 or 2.

Though I will agree that there seem to be plenty available this year.

hscmit · 10-23-2010, 05:01 PM

seems to have gone much smoother than last year, and the dress boxes not being full of paint fumes was a plus for people too

Probably found his way to the other site since then...hopefully

T.G · 10-23-2010, 05:28 PM

Plus, the boxes weren't painted!

Whats wrong with someone charging what they feel a product they own is worth? If you don't like capitalism, I'm sure there's a country in Europe you could move to.

Someone will only pay what they feel a product is worth. If someone bought one at triple the retail price, then that's what they felt the product was worth. In a capitalistic economic situation, it is impossible for someone to be "ripped off".

I agree with this point, but that doesn't make someone less of a douche for trying to triple-key a retail product

Errrr.... nope? We might have socialism, but it's Capitalist socialism. Even Russia got rid of the communists. I'll let you off this time, but I'll remind you that over here in Europe, when someone makes a stupid comment, we ask them when they're moving to the US.

Exactly. I thought it went against the spirit of the Asylum.

Got any stocks that you'll sell me at your cost even though it's going for 2-3X that? Or do you pull the trigger at what the going market rate is?

There's no price policing here. If you don't like something at a particular price, don't buy. It's that simple.

Well, you can call it whatever you want, that doesn't make it true. You can keep your cradle to grave welfare state and associated riots, and I'll enjoy being responsible for my own decisions in life.

End thread hijack.

True, but most members aren't jacking up prices either. Quite the contrary, most WTS threads are at or in some cases well below retail.
