Okay, who's the wise guy around here who is clearly setting me up for a TAD intervention?

Surely it's meant to be...you're on a roll dude, just go with it.

Yeah you're on one shoulder saying that, and wifey is on the other one saying the opposite. Oddly, I cannot tell which one is the angel and which is the devil...

In this instance she's obviously showing her dark side. It's not her fault...nobody's perfect. But listening to it will only make it worse. You've got to be strong and place a bid...for her sake as much as for your own.

Well, I'm convinced! Even though you sound like you're reading from a teleprompter...

That much is obvious...no crystal ball necessary! This makes stocking up all the more urgent. Who wants to just sit around and wait for the hammer to come down, right?

I keep saying demand and visibility are the most critical threats. What government wants to give up tax revenue? They know what cigarettes do and how much they harm people and what the larger social costs are (people being sick and people dying at younger ages costs a lot of money.).
Also despite how it looks governments try not to piss off too many people (not a fixed number) but it's much easier to ignore the screams of a smaller group of people. Ever wonder why cigars get all the wonderful exemptions? And why does a larger group have more of a voice(?) they bring in more cash!(!). And as long as demands high enough the loopholes will be found, the networks, and work arounds.
What I am saying is we need to get the children ready to smoke pipes when they're of age. That's why the most important pipe tobacco in the world are the candy aromatics!
Sorry I just got a bit silly near the end didn't I?

@Servant King don't read the rest of this post! If you do! We will beat Santa Claus and if we call torture enhanced interrogation then you don't want to find out what we mean by beat.
Here is where you stop reading this good sir, thanks in advance.
Guys if you get sloppy he might figure out there are only three of us we're slowly rotting his mind as an experiment mostly for entertainment.

@Servant King don't read the rest of this post!

Can I speed-read it? C'mon, meet me in the middle!

Victory is never final, is it?

NO NO!!! You know you can't read on meth, remember what happened last time!!

Well, my friend, I got outbid, and with two days to go and two dozen bids already placed, it's overpriced now anyway.

What do kidneys go for nowadays?

Great Gatsby! $57 and climbing for 2 tins...plus $10.20 shipping...and a day still to go. Good thing you're walking away from that one.

If only you had just listened to your wife to begin with!

In general, it seems the prices have come down a lot around tinbids, wondering why. Does anybody have any inside insight?

I dunno. I’m looking at prices for Stonehaven and they just seem astronomical.
Tis the season to spend on the Holidays so maybe that’s part of it, and come January when the hangover hits prices on discretionary goods tend to take a hit.

How much is my wife paying you to say that? And please give the amount in grams of Stonehaven, not US dollars--hyperinflation renders that number somewhat meaningless.

Now up to $72, just over a full day left. Seems there are two bidders specifically going head to head over these tins; I'm just going to sit back and watch the carnage unfold. It reminds me of Elaine and Sue Ellen bidding on JFK's golf clubs in that Seinfeld episode, except these bidders (mostly likely) are decidedly less visually attractive...

And I seriously doubt either of them are heirs to a candy bar fortune.

Don't get me wrong, GLF is a fantastic VA/cav flake, arguably my favorite overall. But I ain't plunkin' down no $83 for 3 oz. of it! That'd be too steep even for Aperitif, the other blend I'm keeping an eye out for on there.

I'm happy with the four tins and one jar I have of GLF. Equally happy to have snagged a preferred lot without getting gouged in the process.
