Someone on Craigs List is selling a ton of cigars for cheap in MN!

I am calling the guy in about 15 minutes, then I have a sales call for work... I will be home withing 1.5 hours and will post the details...


The point of the call:
I want to setup a visit to see the humidors and be able to comment on their shape, also take pics.

Take a look at all of the sticks to verify they look real... bands are on tight, properly packed tobacco, not veiny... general things that make cigars look fake...

Also see if anything smells fishy about the deal.

I am trying to work on this fast, so please be somewhat patient with me, I will post what I find out as soon as I am able. this is high on my priority list for the day

I just called and it is sold....
 
All Is good, I setup a viewing this afternoon as promised... if everything looks good, we will bang out the details tonight... However I need to make sure that ponying up the 3k won't F-up me closing on my first house on the 16th.
 
Alright everyone here is what is going on.

I called him today after you had all posted that it was sold and he let me know that he had two buyers setup... either from this board or from another board that it got posted on because I posted it here.... He wanted to give me a cigar for finding his buyer so he mentioned that I could come over and have a cigar with him so I did. I also talked with him and asked him if I came up with the 3k first if I could have it as I am in the state, he said sure.

As I was on my way over to him, one of the other buyers got a hold of him and offered him more money to secure the sale. He accepted. Therefore it is SOLD. I still went over there to get the whole story and to chat with him for a while. He went through a nasty divorce recently and she moved with his two little girls to another state, and he is now following them down there and needed some money to move. He was very informed about all of the cigars in his humidor and had the Aristocrat custom made for him. He is keeping all of the singles in the humi and was just selling off the items he had listed. All is on the up and up, his priorities changed and he was now somewhat getting out of the cigar obsession.

I let him know that if his buyer falls through to call me, but from the sounds of it, that won't happen as the buyer is driving in from MA this weekend specifically to pick up this purchase. I acted as soon as I could for everyone and I hope that it is realized. I will let everyone who was interested know via PM if this becomes available on Friday from the buyer backing out.

Sorry all, I tried as best I could.

Thanks anyway man, but I figured this wouldn't last long. If you had posted this like 10 days ago, I simply would have dialed him up and bought it on the spot but after selling so many boxes and buying new ones I've emptied my cigar fundage.

So he said he would sell it to you, then accepted a higher offer before you arrived?

If you were driving there with the 3K, then that is BS....If the offer was just tentative, then maybe not.
 
I didn't have 3k in my pocket at the time, but I would have gone and gotten it if everything was kosher... I tend not to go to some strangers house from craigslist with 3k in cash the first time I meet them.... all and all, i wasn't the first offer therefore this probably worked out as it should.
 
Did you still light up a smoke with him and if so, based off the guys incredible list of smokes, what amazing stick was it?
 
Yes I did, it was a Montecresto limited edition 2006 ISOM... it was a good smoke that we shared over even better conversation

by the way... if the buyer from MA happens to be on these boards, can you please send me a PM?
 
Wow! Did anyone take the time to figure out a realistic value of this?
Crazy deal. I won't be surprised if we start seeing pieces of that pop up for sale.
 
The first thing I thought when I saw it was divorce. I had it the other way though, I figured it was the wife selling it to get even with the soon to be X. A friend of mine got a 1969 Barracuda for a $1000.00 dollar check. The car was titled for some reason in the wifes name and she was selling everything she could before the divorce. As of the last time we spoke, the friend said the check had not been cashed, that was after he had the car for over a year and fully titled in his name.
