    Love the new site, but after watching it constantly I am tired of seeing 5 Vegas sticks. haha! :)
    .. No Shitt. You don't have to wait very long for some 5 Vegas stuff to show up.. Now I love some 5V's but would like to see a little more different sticks get into the rotation. ( side note) I just switched over, if you want some 5V Gold toros get over there now.

    I agree. 5 Vegas can be great. in fact, I'm currently sitting on two boxes of them. But man, variety is great too! :)

    Has anyone noticed that prices are getting a bit higher? It seems that the tuning man goes all the way across but after it either gets pulled or someone buys it, it's quite a bit higher than when the site first started. Just an observation. Was wondering if anyone else has noticed this trend.

    yeah - more activity, and the reserve went up on several items

    That's what I was thinking as well. It almost seems like tim will be able to do a better job at beating the sprint sale prices.

    Sprint Site dipping into sales rep pockets huh. LOL. Your correct, most items seem to be higher, thus has me putting the brakes on when it comes to buying. Looks like I'll have to find a rep or call up and say " I have s sh!t ton of cash but I cant get a rep to hook me up, wtf the dealio.." oh I have beaten this horse before...still laying there...dead...LOL.

    The reserve price on some items has definitely gone up. I am wondering if there is computer systems tracking the sale prices and adjusting them. There has to be something controlling it other than human intervention.
  • J.S.J.S. Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 751
    Yeah, I see that too. I would really like to try the Gurkha Crest 10 pk. but it does not come up that often. It just did but I was too busy reading Alex's post about the mad. short story and missed it again. Oh well, not my time I guess.

    Being a programmer myself, I bet now that they have a bit of sales stats in the database they are probably calculating the average base price of the product and using that as a floor. This was probably always programmed in but when the products were first added the bottom was selected by Alex now it is being driven by the consumer. The way to test this is to watch the base for new products and then compare it a week later. The more the consumer base grows the higher the base will go, unless there is a readjustment factor built in to keep the floor from over inflation. Just my 2 cents

    Hmm...just saw a 10 pk of Gurkha Beauties sell for more than Guerrilla Warfare listing. Someone not paying attention?
  • kevin1323kevin1323 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 294
    was it close enough that the free shipping would make a difference?
  • RampMonkeyRampMonkey Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,808
    Watched the Diesel Shorties start at 59.99 for a 10 pack and tapped out at 34.and some change...anyone else find this....Odd.
  • RampMonkeyRampMonkey Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,808
    Had to add this too. Watching the 5 Vegas Classic 10 pack: Started way over $40.00 bones and the MSRP is $32.00. So Ccom, I think ya have some issues to resolve here. Running man finished the race for $20.81..and If I recall seeing this the robustos bottoming out at 14ish...

  • y2pascoey2pascoe Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,707
    It was $44 and change...so barely.
  • RampMonkeyRampMonkey Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,808
    Stinky ash tray starting over 10.00 the MFSP. Money is safe at this rate ccom.
  • KriegKrieg Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,068
    Just noticed a 10 pk of diesel uhc finished for $32. Not too much of a deal when I got a box of unl for $50

    I just watched three items in a row starting at $10-$20 OVER the MSRP. The 5-pack of Ave Maria Barbarossa was one of them...it then closed out at $30!
  • The KidThe Kid Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,842
    Thanks for the info guys.. To be honest I stopped following the sprint sales a few days ago due to the lack of selection especially on the med to med-high end sticks. My only routine has been to check this thread periodically hoping to see some chatter bout new items.

    I just saw a 5 pack of Ave Maria Crusader MSRP of $35.00 start at over $50.00. I don't think it even got down to the MSRP before it closed out.

    ... that's fair. I would have held off for a little closer to sixty. But with the shipping, someone is happy.
