General Discussion>I need some help pricing cigars...

I have a big box of cigars sitting here by my desk that I've been trying to get ready for sale and I finally managed to do it.
The problem is that I totally suck at cigar prices. Bad. I have no clue what anything costs, what they're worth, none of that stuff.

What I need is for someone who is really good at that stuff to take a quick look, tell me what they'd cost and what a good, cheap sell price is.
The lots are numbered 1-20, the pics are real good and self-explanatory, and it should only take anyone a few minutes.

If you'll pm me a numbered list in this format...
Lot 1, $50/$35
Lot 2, $75/$55
..it'd be a huge help and I'll hook you up with a fiver of something that's not in there for your trouble.

I don't want to have 20 guys wasting their time, so please post a reply here if you're gonna take a stab at it. I just need one or two lists and I'll average them and make up prices.
And please pm me the results, I don't think that info should be posted here.
It'll be posted on the for sale board as soon as I get time.

Link to the pics.

Thank You!!!
Scott

That Padilla Achilles Toro in lot # 19 is a rarity. That was a CI special produced by Pepin just when he was hitting his stride. Ernie and Jose had a falling out (nasty by cigar business standards) and the Achilles came out again by Padilla and it was a Torpedo. Good cigar, but not the same as the original Achilles toro produced by Pepin.

Scott...those two Camachos on the right are the "Face Off". Extremely limited and very rare. Litto made a bet with Christian from Camacho...they both had to create a stick using the others tobacco. This was Litto's offering. :-)

But I 'm certain you already knew this. :-)

Someone, and I can almost remember who, introduced me to the face-offs. I had a couple and immediately sought out a bunch more.
I thought I'd smoked them all until I found those in one of a bunch of bags I stuffed in the bottom of my big humidor.

Whenever my winador gets so full that I start smashing sticks every time I close a drawer, I clean it out, fill up a gallon ziplock, and hide them from myself.
I found tons of really wicked sticks while I've been cleaning out the big humi.
I should probably hit our rare/HTF thread and spread some of that stuff around!!! :-)

Yes, I do know that. And I still have about a billion more. It's gonna take me five years just to get this down to something manageable, Jamie. Ugh.

Looks like your having a CI history sale. Lot of those cigars bring back memories but thank goodness there were no Double Happiness cigars in that bunch.
