Why No Auctions, Damnit!

[wa3zrm]

Come on... some of you guys over in the EU should put up for auction stuff we can't get over here. I'm sure the laws stopping the vendors from selling certain brands in the US don't apply to private party sales.

[WickedKitchen]

Yeah, Montecristo, Romeo, and LS. I second that.

and local/regional brands that aren't available on webstores

I'm sure once a few auctions go through well more will begin to pop up. I agree about the snuses not availible For shipment to the US. Somebody could make some easy profit by
ordering a roll of each LS variation and selling them either alone or in sets of different styles.

I don't see how much profit one would be able to make on putting snus up for auction.

A roll of LS Bold portions costs me $65.24(if you include all taxes and shipping) which is pretty damn high considering what you guys are currently paying.

Frankly I would feel like I was ripping people off if anybody paid a premium over that price - and I doubt there would be many takers at that price anyway.

I don't mind helping people out but in no way will it ever be a money spinner for any of us EU members.

Well no one has even tried! I wish someone would put up some export restricted items so we can see what they will do.

I actually might consider paying $65 for a roll of LS or Camel Whites. Maybe....

At $65, there's no reason for a Euro to sell, other than being a cool guy; that's the break even point. The minimum price would be $10 a tin shipped, and that's very little profit. It would hardly be worth the hassle, unless you go back to the cool guy principle.

[WickedKitchen]

Yeah, I don't think $10 a pop would get many takers. I think it would be problematic if it were advertised here...eventually. After all, there's reasons these products are not sold in the US. Perhaps silly reasons, but reasons none the less.

I guess we were spoiled with low prices for so long sans inflated tobacco taxes.

[Experimental Monkey]

If you want a roll of LS Bold, a can of LS los, and a few cans of Cristo portions ALL of that can be had for around $65 if you know where to look, Atreyu. In fact I just placed that very order yesterday.

EDIT: let me say that those prices are still outrageous and if not for my burning desire to try LS and have one of those cool ass tins I would NOT have done. I could have gotten almost twice the amount of product with Northerner at that price. It may have been General and Ettan, but it still would have been a Hell of a lot more snus.
