Pre-Ebay Collectable Tobacco Sale

Subject: Pre-Ebay Collectable Tobacco Sale Sun May 11, 2008 6:53 pm

Hi, all. I have picked out most of the collectible tinned tobaccos from my cellar in order to raise some cash to by some more ordinary stuff. I will therefore open the items below to offers at or above the minimum price listed for each item. I reserve the right to accept or reject any offer for any reason. Items that don't sell here will be listed on Ebay next Sunday. Since any sales here will save me Ebay fees I will offer free shipping to the Con. US for purchases over $75, and will accept Paypal with no additional fees.

I have been a long-standing member of pipes.org and the Knoxcigar forums and have sold to and traded with many people on this forum. I have also participated in a box pass. My Ebay ID is Of-a-feather with well over 200 feedbacks, all positive.

PM or email with any questions, concerns or offers. I will post updates on items soldas well as going, going...gone updates for items that I might be looking for higher offers for. I apologize in advance for any errors and will work to describe things as accurately as possible. Items will be listed in subsequent posts.

Thanks and happy hunting.

Each item listed will have a minimum offer of $40, unless otherwise noted. All items are guaranteed sealed and properly stored, despite any cosmetic blemishes to the tin. Some items have minimal, light surface rust. I have not removed the labels to examine the tins, as this might detract from it's value. I have felt each tin for weakness and feel that the integrity of the tins have not been compromised. If after the purchase you discover that a tin is rusted through, you may return the UNOPENED tin for a full refund. Pictures can be made available on request.

2oz GLP Pease Tribute - first issue SEPT 21, 2001 - light surface rust on bottom
