What's the deal with eBay?

Lots of people on there selling "bands" to cigars. Is this just how eBayers get away with selling tobacco online? Anyone ever bought any "bands" on eBay?

lol, just decided to look for myself. clearly the Man O War Ruination cigar bands are soon to be a sought after collectible. :rolleyes: and it's nice to know they have been stored at 70/70 temp/humidity.

Yep, the fact that they don't mention OPUS CIGARS in the add is more than just E-bays tobacco policies ;)

I was said guy.

Caveat emptor and you get what you pay for definitely apply here, but I was blinded by thoughts of getting a good deal on some Opus X.

First and last time I tried that little experiment.

So that's a definite no go unless I'm actually looking to collect bands...Which I'm not, haha. Thanks guys.

I made my first box purchase on ebay last summer! bought a rare box of Anejo (07)no. 50's for $300! (And they were the real thing too Vin!) ;)

Truly one of those things like women... YMMV:)

Suggestion:

Pnoon & Other Mod's.... Maybe you want to go in and change the word "EBad"
in all the posts so that they don't come across our discussions and make further
changes to their policies?

I'm just sayin....:xxx

My suggestion is to use the Report Post feature so all the admins can discuss what to do - if anything. :2
