Spydro,
That's my WTB ad that doffy is referencing... I'm not sure if I'm within the group of "folks" you speak of although my offer is fair and exactly the original sales price plus shipping to cover. Is it a Unicorn? I don't think so... Do I want to try one? Of course I do!
My REOs and Cyclones are my ADV at this moment and if the Nuppin' makes it any better then I'll be in Hog Heaven! I'm glad you finally made it over to ReoVille I still remember seeing your frequent posts and how much you were in love with ByLeo and GP products!
Now if anyone has a Nuppin' they'd allow me to "steal" from them please holler and sssshhhh don't tell Spydro!!!
My comments were in general, only referencing Doffy's post as a lead in to make them and not directed at you personally. And they were made with 20+ years of buying and selling experience on line.
As I said in my post I don't consider the Nuppin' a true unicorn with 300 of them made... rather a limited issue. Peter said no more were planned, but as well as they sold he could offer another run if he wanted to. I do consider my 1 of 1 prototype and 1 of 3 ProVari's, the GP PAPS TiX #11 still NIB that is a 1 of 99 issued true unicorns because there is no question at all that there will never be anymore of them made (per those who made them that were/are personal friends). As for fair pricing, whether a true unicorn or a limited production, pricing is up to the owner and what the market will bear. After all, you can't just go buy them at the local B&M. So you'll either have to pay to play as a buyer, or not play at all. It's just supply and demand, and short supply on unicorns/limited editions almost always means the price goes up, not down.
All 36+ of my APV's and their endless atty's were a progression in my vaping. At the time bought and used the different gear in turn was the gear that worked the best for me at that time. They all did it very well until I found something better, or in some cases decided to go in a different direction. IE I went back to just mechs and left VV/VW behind. The newest kids on the block are what gets it done best now days, and in fact gets it done more perfectly for my vaping style than any of the gear before them. So a few of my Reos (LP's and Woodies) and a few of the way too many atty's I have for them are my ADM's. For atty's my Nuppin's rule the roost but I am also still using the Cyclones, and I still have some of my RM2's and RM3's on backup Reos. The rest of the 20+ bf atty's are in reserve. What is different this time is I think I have finally found MY gear in the Reos and some of their bf atty's, and I have no interest at all in looking for any other gear to replace them. There was other gear I wanted to buy to try, but I don't feel they could replace the Reos so I won't bother. I do want some different Reos than some of those that I bought though. That a product of buying 9 Reos too fast and before I found my niche with them.
All the rest of my gear is long retired but still here because I've never sold any of my gear yet. So they are backups I guess for if I ever decide to revisit any of them for old times sake.
