[QUOTE="CLRV, post: 140771, member: 1480"] Here's an interesting one on Ebay: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Samuel-Gawith-Full-Virginia-Flake-sealed-1-lb-box-tin-/230576781683?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35af727973#ht_500wt_1156]FVF 1 Pound[/url]. Aside from the expected ebay puffery, here is some of the listing that I found rather interesting: [i]Box has been properly stored in a humidity and temperature controlled cellar, no returns on this item, any questions please ask. -- The value of the item is the collectible packaging, not the tobacco itself. -- The value of the packaging is higher than the current retail price of the tobacco in the package. -- While the package has never been opened, the tobacco inside is not for consumption.[/i] So, uh, excuse the ignorance but is there some internet regulation that you can't sell tobacco on ebay? Or an ebay regulation? Or am I giving the lister too much credit and this is more of a covering move on sellers part? Why would I care if it's been properly stored if I'm not supposed to smoke the tobacco? :scratch: [/QUOTE]
