Been working a lot and also had some health problems, nothing serious.

Also been busy with 2 vaping friends. We incorporated a non profit association to speak in favor of vaping and we are working on an internet page with all the studies we could find. Can’t find any doctors to support us. But one of the guys is a physicist and is amazingly brilliant.

Mexican authorities and anti tobacco people have been disseminating lots of lies regarding ecigs and there is a law proposal that will equal them to cigarettes and will tax ecigs as them (160% tax plus VAT), so things are not looking well

I’m really glad I have the Radii and just bought a Classic so I’m well stocked . If things go worse I’ll invest in a Nic 100mg gallon and that will do it for a lot of time .

I wish you the best of luck with the non-profit. ..

Sorry to hear you were having a hard time with illness - happy your doing better.

Sorry to hear about your government. .. apparently world wide governments just want to figure out how to rape us, and they figure the best way going forward is to demonize us in order to do just that. ..

So sad it's affecting you all too...

Well, yes, hypothetically.

But if you ask me, if you are going to strategically attempt something new, go big or go home.

I just had a feeling that the guy didn't really know what he had (including his boxes). I decided to go with that. I also did a pretty thorough background search on what said items go for on ebay. But, no one will die or go hungry even if I don't sell a single one (although I am giving ONE away, already decided who, since if you do something you feel lucky about, well, you should give back plus my first provari was a gift) I mean 3 procyons with boxes and etc. and P3s and etc. when sold singly usually turn out fairly decent....

So, we will see what (hypothetically) happens. I'm in no rush, but I am pleased. There's always a buyer's reserve/the vacopalypse closet. Or a handsome bookshelf. LOL.

Glad I could help you spend your money...

Some filthy rich guy on this TV show I'm watching paid some engineer thousands of dollars whose sole purpose was to design hinges that squeaked like the doors in the old west saloons. So paying $733 for those Provis seems cheap to me.

Must be nice to have money to piss away like that.

PAYING for squeaky door hinges though.... A) Drive me nuts B) I thought you bought stuff to make your doors NOT squeak for like $5 for a life time.

Everything's relative though. You can always find something cheaper. Since my kiddo is working at Dollar General (the lowest of the low in the food chain) he's always scoping me deals. Sometimes it really pays to do your research.

I think the ultra-rich get taken though, sometimes. I used to live in Columbia, MD, well near it anyway, across the train tracks some in the "scary" part of town, but it used to amaze me when I'd go to see some Shakespearian play with my mom (she was into it) and I'd browse some of the stores.... $700 for a top. Okay, it was a nice top and everything, and I bet many a person bought one and never even wore it ONCE. Plus, you get in that trap of "not caring" and "getting lazy" and paying people to do stuff you can do yourself.

I used to have to LITERALLY BEG my mom to let the husband fix stuff in her home.... Stuff like LEAKING FAUCETS, which, by the time she allowed us to fix it, half her floor tiles were coming up. Then she would complain about the cost of repairs.... I think with a note of pride in her voice?

IDK, maybe you think less about these things when you are ultra wealthy. I have no clue how it works, though, neither of my parents is deceased yet and I'm not looking for them to be. I just wish my mom were a bit more sensible sometimes but no, she's a rich idiot, like the rest of them. Very generous and kind, but just No Clue (apparently) about real world stuff. She would "complain" that I married "such competent guys" well, yes, they both were, but they aren't filthy rich either. My dad was the same way, once cost the family $1500 for an oil change by accidentally getting some "screw" wedged down inside it by accident. Very smart dude, but sensible about real world things, he was not.

Well, yeah, I have a strategy, but would not have bid without said strategy and the knowledge that I could afford it if my strategy were incorrect.

I do hope my strategy works out, but if it doesn't it doesn't.

Not when you're worth $100 million and have nothing better to do with your time than to build a 10,000 SF, circa 1870 log cabin with every amenity beyond your imagination.
