Default Humidors

Two humidors recently sold on eBay. One sold for $405, and a week or two later, another sold for $332. Both were brand-new in-the-box items. Where is the true market on these for like-new boxes? And why was there such a big difference in price between these?

Well I would disagree there.
If you want one go ahead and buy it if you can afford it and the price is what you are willing to pay.

Afford and willing are not neccessarily words that go hand in hand.

It also helps when certain people are not online when the auction ends to bid it up...

I'd say the true market is $332-405, or more. Depends on how badly you want it.

Let me just say, I have purchased a few crossfire humidors and those prices mosty reflect the ones that have been posted on this forum. You can get them for well under $300...


When they get posted on here I usually bid them up unless item is located in Ohio or on the east coast... I am not the only one...

That's not nice, making people on the forum pay more for their humidor.
I had a new key fob for you and I was going to give it to you last time you were here and forgot it, nearly forgot the car cover till you reminded me. Maybe you would like to bid on the fob while I bid it up.

That's one way to look at it... another way is to keep the value up and people get the most out of their rare object... It has back fired on me a few times but my top bid is always what I am willing to pay for it...


Just wait until they come available from said locations and I will be sure not to interfere. I promis

It is still beyond me why someone would pay that much for an item that was clearly an afterthought. If it fit in the console right or felt like it was not going to slam side to side as I corner, I would buy one, but for that kind of money, you can have someone turn the center console into a custom humidor
