Agree to disagree. Silver lining is there are people outside the forums seeing them- a google search will show the real prices. More love for Rob. I'm not saying I'm happy about it- far from it. But it is what it is. Without further knowledge I reserve judgement.

agree to disagree? ok. i'm cool with that.
only because with one hand i can't biatch-slap ya
that's what i said. who knows the circumstances. but they're a week old... bought a week ago. it Does seem shady. there's a difference in selling for no profit-to recoup what you bought-what you just paid, and selling for a profit*that said-i dont know what profit he may make or whatever*. it's ok to have circumstances arise, and it's ok to just simply not like the mod. i don't think it's ok to flip mods as soon as you get them, brand new, unused.
it just upsets me because many people wanted their first pick, and to think if someone buys them just to flip, makes me terribly sad for the people who's top pick they were and didn't' get them. it's not like they can just go to the store and buy another top pick. they're one of a kinds.
just my opinion.
but i digress..
how can i fit this 18650 battery into this tiny mini woodvil :X

I'm with you - I was shocked when I saw who was selling them on e-bay - and I know they're also on the OliveR wait list and wondered if they planned to do the same with that when they get it.
The baby came weeks before the sale. Time enough to know if money was going to be tight before the sale. It is sad if those were someone's first pick.
I think Dennis stated how I feel about it pretty succinctly. We feel the same about flippers in the snake business as well.
I know I'll be watching the sale to see how much they end up going for.
I see woods on eBay. I found it ironic that one is listed as brand new in box but the pic shows it with juice in the bottle and with an RBA on top. The RBA is also listed as brand new in bubble wrap. Surely that's not one of our REOnauts is it?
yes. and that is interesting. i didn't notice the juice before, but did notice the brand new thing.
as a side note since im still mad/sad about it. the earliest you could have got your package i'd say was wednesday, the same day they were listed.....

Yes, it appears that it is one of ours.
I had to go back and look when you mentioned the juice. I saw that about unopened, still in bubble wrap too - and wondered - then how were the pictures taken? LOL
Hello all,
I see some comments here so please let me explain myself. As you know , I am a die hard reo fan and avid reo user. I have bought and sold many reos in the ecf classies and have always given good deals and not flipped or "profiteered" as you can see my feedback score here. I prefer subohm vaping and thats why i have a didbi oliveR already and why i use reo grands. I also like wood mods and ive had bogger boxes and wooden puzzlebox mods so i wanted to try a wooden REO which i had never had before.
I bought 2 18650 woodvills and one mini woodvil last week. I tried the jatoba 18650 and i didnt like the way it hits- i love the beauty and craftsmanship of it but i didnt buy it to look at it , if im not going to use it i cant keep it.
I have decided that subohm is the only way i can stay satisfied with vaping and with a new baby here , i cant have all these beautiful mods just sitting around unused. I will be needing a low profile grand and at least two of the new subohm kits when they come out so i figured i would sell the woodvills and use that money towards the subohm kits and lp grand upcoming purchase.
The day i wanted to list for them for sale, i was going to put them here in ecf classies but i could not logged into ecf - it said to change my password and then it still wouldnt let me log in so i could not post them here. I had never even thought of posting them on ebay before even though i had sold billetboxes on ebay before. Actually , a fellow reonaut (i wont call out anyone here)recommended to me to that i sell them on ebay.
So I posted two of the three woodies and some of my other metal grands on there. I started the auctions for all my reos at 99 cents yes i have a reserve because i refuse to lose money on them , as long as it covers my ebay final value fees and paypal fees , im fine with that but as you know - if a bidding war breaks out , they may sell for whatever the bidders think its worth. I think starting them off at 99 cents is fair and is not flipping - i am not setting the price - the bidders decide what they want to pay and that doesnt mean im looking to profit or flip them. I did set a crazy buy it now price on the billet box but when i use the buy it now feature (which i didnt on the reos) i usually always do that on all my items - thats my way of saying, hey id rather the auction play out to the end but if your crazy and want to pay a crazy price go for it and illl end the auction now but i started that auction at 99 cents too.
i did make a mistake when listing the jatoba - i was using the saved item template tool on ebay and i had previously entered the info on the curly oak woodvil which is unwrapped and brand new - it pasted the same info in the box and i didnt catch that , as super x pointed out , the bottle clearly has juice in it so its not brand new. I have apologized and corrected that info in the auction listing.
I love my reos and i have received a lot of great help from fellow reonauts here like superx, pdib,darkzero etc. Ive bought and sold many reos here on ecf and i havent made a profit on any that i remember anyway. i was surprised to see some of the comments here about this - im not doing anything wrong or immoral and im sorry if it upset reoville .I really didnt think it was wrong. I couldnt get logged in here to post them here so i posted them on ebay for 99 cents. If im not going to use them , i cant let them just sit around. and to the one poster - yes i already have a dibi oliveR and it does subohm so no it is not on ebay but if i decide i dont like it then i will sell it either here or on ebay and i think its my right to do as i wish with my mods.Im sure many of you have sold cars, electronics , whatever that your not using and sometimes you make more from it than you paid for it and sometimes you dont but if you dont need it you sell it - whats the difference here? I am willing to hear any feedback and take any suggestions you may have. Respectfully, divemedic

Would you prefer that mods were only available on an inherited basis rather than being sold?

Maybe someone will but I often check eBay and other flipper's of vendor's high end PVs normally don't sell for more (if at all) of the actual online selling Price. Most of us eBayer's Google items before bidding on anything.

Yes, you caught me. Decided I didn't like what I wrote. Feeling a little snarky this morning.
Some do decide to pay over retail... just look at some of the cheap tube mod clones being sold there for many times over the fasttech prices and some dont but the pont im making is that I listed all of the reos for 99 cents, where the bidders decide to take the final price is up to them.

Yes mon but first let me say, thanks to you too for your comment about witholding judgement. Some of the other reonauts comments were pretty ruthless so it was nice to see yours, supertrunkers and robs comments.

Hey, I didn't judge you either.
I have a LOT of mods, and when I figure out what my favorites are, I'm likely to sell the rest too (not anytime soon), and I wouldn't like to be beat up over it either. Nor was I the one who found you on Ebay. Heck, I thought woodvil's were spelled Woodville, so couldn't even find it after it was mentioned at first.
I try to be considerate and non-judgmental, but if I have an opinion, I will express it, regardless of the consequences. I just know the BB policy on reselling (which I'm fine with, I don't see myself not wanting mine anyway), and wanted clarification on what other rare mods policies were also.
Every mod maker has a different way of handling their sales. Consider that REO allows you to buy multiples of their mods, while BB allows you to buy ONE every 8 weeks, and apparently completely cuts you off forever if you bought 3 already, regardless if you bought them for your spouse or siblings or kids. If you can buy 10 REO mods, then it's pretty clear that you can sell/gift/trade the ones that aren't your favorites. I just marvel at the different mod cultures in the same space.
