[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 518796, member: 2165"] I think the exception to the second-hand market rule is PipeStud. He's been in the second-hand tobacco business long enough to know that price-gauging is all short-term gain with no long-term upside (and a damn fine guy if you ever get to meet him). As an example, I just sold some of my FMOTT through his consignment shop - he charged the buyer $45 for a 100gr tin with 14 years of age. Tins of the same age were being sold for $40 at the NASPC show this past summer (when McC was still very much around), and the same tin has a "buy it now" price of $135 on fleabay. So I suppose I'm not as soured on the second-hand market as some of y'all. To me, it's a matter of finding a member of the community (not just a profit hawk) to do business with. [/QUOTE]
