Re: Interesting eBay find....

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Those look delicious. :r

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

:r nice find!

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

No box code on the RyJ....?

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

That's where I find all of my pre-embargo cubans! Shhhh!! Don't tell anyone!! :r

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

At least the pics are cool!:tu

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

People are actually bidding?!?!?

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

I can't believe that there's 11 bids:jd

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

legend knows him I think.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

seller is from SanDiego... ill bet its really Peter selling them!

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

:tpd: I don't see no box code.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Does ebay take this type of stuff down?

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

I would assume so. I don't think one can sell alcohol or tobacco on the bay.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

:tpd:

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

exactly :rolleyes:

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Pre-embargos wouldn't have a box code....but they wouldn't have a warranty seal with a serial number either!!

That warranty seal begins with an H which would make it 2006.

They look like Churchill sized cigars, but they don't have the Churchill Labels.

The Romeo y Julieta Churchill sized cigars that did use the regular labels are the Prince of Wales which were discontinued in 2002.

Theres probably hundreds of more mistakes I'm missing, but you get the idea!! :r

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Just checked, it's a listing violation. I bet the bay pulls it soon.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Thanks Patrick! Always a wealth of information! :tu

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

He failed to mention that the bands were rare and the tobacco isn't intended to be smoked.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

:r:r:r


:tpd:

As long as he is selling "the bands" and not the tobacco, the listing would hold... but it is against policy to list counterfeit items so even if he had been selling only the bands, it would most likely get pulled if people complain and tell ebay they are not legit...

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

i think the guy is putting pre-embargo so that he wont be incriminating himself..hence the wink sign in the other listing..if he were to say they were collectors items intact and not opened the box he would be able to keep it up..anyways he isnt doing it right and theyre fakes..

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Look at the warranty seal placemnet too!!! This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!! :r

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Its gone! Damn that was fast!

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

its pulled.

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Wow that was fast...both are now history.

Re: Interesting eBay find....

Re: Interesting eBay find....
 

Guess my bid doesn't count anymore. :lv

The ring is really nice. It would make a nice upgrade from my paper cigar band rings.
