Tinbids QC

I agree that the site Owner should ensure accurate descriptions are provided. He is knowledgeable about tobacco, not merely a broker of a commodity. That said I have no sympathy for people paying these stupid prices. You almost deserve to be gouged. As you said above

This is no different to me than someone paying $300 for a few grams of blow only to discover the quality is lacking

Didn’t even know there was a vintage and rare cocaine market!

You process with vintage gear:

You always seems content with what you have.

I smoke 4-5 blends 95% of the time. I'm sure there are retail blends you'd like as much or more than the unicorns you're chasing. Not trying to tell you how to spend your money but that's my 2 cents.

Ran rabbit run. The heart wants what the heart wants.

 

[anotherbob]

Fair enough. I guess I just presumed like this site has moderators that check the listings, that retailers had the equivalent, or at least should.

I think it depends on the operation and it's size.

 

[anotherbob]

Should just have a "report this auction as inaccurate" button.

I like that idea and then I imagine jerk faces abusing it.

Haha, I was coming from the angle that both are sold in a way to maximize profit and quality of product is not the seller’s utmost concern.

Sorry I was being a little harsh though. We all have different tolerances for what we are willing to spend on things

Easy fix, don't chase unicorns or vintage tins.

But won't i miss out?! I just can't help but think about what Mike said when McC shut its doors. (Sarcasm, though I do have my own opinion on the matter).

But really, easy fix.

Today's B&M clutter is tomorrow's unicorn.

As I just finished my McChicken I realize I’m a man of varied tastes. I have Tyson nuggets and A5 Wagyu in my freezer, 100 point wine but also $15 Rose, a tin of original 759 but love my country squire kingsfoil and even had some half and half last night.

I wouldn’t have to chase it if people just gave them to me. So far no luck though, have to keep busting out the wallet for them .

There are Germain’s/Esoterica blends out there right now at B&M across the usa.

At Google as example type in;

Tennessee Tobacconists

Google will pretty much list every tobacco shop in that state, then just call around.

I spent only 10-15 minutes last week, and the first two places I called had Germain’s and Esoterica blends.

Happy Hunting...

Yes!

Yeah I dropped them a note to consider it. that's up to devs to figure out abuse.

well at the end of the day if it gets too out of hand they'll lose money.

OTOH, “controversial” listings could help create a buzz that drives more people to the site.

Or have the complete opposite effect.

Your can't forget about the antithetical effect.

I’m susceptible to counter reverse psychology.
