it's not direct enough for my young brain to process.

Okay...you *sell* quite a few cigars,why I don't know or care.
What I wonder is,has giving up a source ever soured one of your sales,and is that why you're asking our opinion?

Disclaimer:barbourjay's sales are top notch.

never has soured one of my sales. i try my best to fill WTB's and do box splits (like the tatuaje monster one i did which is half my feedback).

i was asking peoples opinion to see what the proper way to address this situation is.

I see, the one source you used to get reasonable prices on and then pad the price and sell them, so this guy took money out of your hand. and you rather not have your supplemental income cut even smaller.

that's a pretty big accusation. i don't pad pricing and i don't sell cigars as supplemental income. if i did there would be tons upon tons of for sale threads by me. ask some of the people who have herfed and met with me and seen my collection. assumptions are just awesome.

but whatever, i did bring up the subject but it was you who decide to run your mouth trying to stir up something (and i add this isn't the fist time i've seen it on this board).

It sounded harsher then I meant, I could see not wanting to give out a source due to losing money either with sales or because someone will pay the higher price. You did state that about the earlier source.

I'm going to step in here and say, that at times, Perry can be . . . well, Perry.
Jeremy, I can certainly see how you read his post but I honestly believe it was not meant as a slam against you but support for you not wanting to divulge sources.




Group hug !

yup but it's not about losing the money as i said before. it's about not wanting to pay 20$ for a robusto because someone else who is selling for a profit is willing to go that high. there is a line to be drawn and i feel 1-2$ above msrp on somethings is reasonable. double to triple is not.

word, i don't think there is a person i've met on here who i wouldn't call trustworthy. those people tend not to stick around.

You have received pretty much a consensus here. And I agree.

So to answer your question, use a phrase made well-known by D.A.R.E.

Just say No.

And if they don't like it, coin another phrase I use often (and is a favorite of LasciviousXXX's):

Tough Noogies !
