Announcing Tobacco That Becomes In Stock?

[Johnny_Pipecleaner]

Is it frowned upon? Discouraged? Encouraged?

Sometimes I come across sites that suddenly have hard to get tobacco in stock. Half of me wants to leave it to everyone to find things on their own, but half of me wants to announce it to the forum so everyone gets a chance before the well-funded hoarders strike.

If it is okay to help out in this way, what is the appropriate forum? If not, totally cool. Just checking.

I'd be surprised if any one would object.

Give it to us, Johnny! Haha

I think we should all help each other out as much as possible.

I think it sucks, let people find the hard to gets themselves.

Fun hater.

Discouraged. We ARE the well-funded orders!!!

Order first, then share the love!

Harris has a point: good intentions help also the hoarders/scalpers that immediately go and grab all the stock and then don't smoke it, but use it to speculate!

 

[Spa32]

I agree with Harris. I'm not fun.

 

[smokeyweb]

I smoke what I buy. Share the love! This is our “community!”

Ahh, an oldie but a goodie thread. The Rorschach test for pipe smoking members.

For the most part, I'm not tracking anything hard to get any more, so if you announce to the whole watching word that something is in stock, I'm not going to be offended. But, if you do it thinking that you are only helping your friends who are members, you're forgetting that this forum has eyes, many eyes that aren't members.
It has never been a rule, but announcing stuff like this, does speed up how fast it goes out of stock. So, your call...

 

[sandollars]

Unfortunately, the scalpers are looking at "our" forum too.

Let your friends you know and trust in on your findings through PM but leave the rest to natural selection.

Sharing is caring! Haha

Well, and i hate to say anything more about this, but having been here a while this is what I notice...

Someone posts "Unicorn is in stock at Yourfavorite Pipe Supply"
and, minutes latter it is sold out...
So, the rest of the posts on the thread are...
"all gone."
"damn, I missed it."
"You lie, it is not there."
etc etc etc...

When I found a hard to get, I would tell a few friends and that was it. Now when a drop gets\s posted people from facebook ad reditt are all over the stuff making it impossible to find.

What boggles my mind is when the idiots announce their best honeyholes basically screwing themselves.
