Valuing a humidor

Puff_Dougie

Recently acquired two large humidors from a local smoke shop that was closing. One is a Montecristo trunk-style with copper plating on top and front with the embossed Montecristo logo. Searched the web and can't find it anywhere. Thinking of selling it, but have no idea how to price it. Any thoughts?

If you can't find that exact one, look at similar sizes and price it that way.

I'd just hang on to it for a while.Hang around here for a while, get to know people and do some trades. Then maybe someone here would be more likely to buy it.You could list it here, but since most people don't know, I doubt anyone would buy it. Also, if you do list it here...don't put an actual price in the post. Do something like "PM for price".

The pictures dont show the condition of the inside bottom of the humidor. Considering its in good shape Id say its worth somewhere in the 150 -200. range? Hard to say, if you look at ebay there are thousands of humidors listed.

I second the ebay suggestion… also, is it mdf or solid wood? Most of the cheapies (including the one I recently bought) are cedar veneered mdf. I'm not thrilled about this because of the use of formaldehyde resins in manufacturing mdf.

mdf?

mdf = medium-density fiberboard, a kind of particle board… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

Oof, just found This

Puff_Dougie

Wow! That's awesome, Ken! You dug up way more info than I had been able to find. It was definitely a dealer exclusive item, and it seems to have come in two versions. The one link you found is a bigger model (250 count) with an arched lid. Mine is slightly smaller (150 count) with a flat lid. Thanks for the great info!

Out of nowhere I thought to put "chest" into my search and I think that made all the difference in finding info. Dumb luck, really.

Just the same, I really appreciate the effort. Seems like a good opportunity to jump into the spirit of BOTL. Would you be kind enough to PM your addy so I can drop a "thank you" package in the mail?

BTW... had the humi listed on ebay and it just sold today. Mixed feelings on that. Was kinda hoping it wouldn't go so I could have an excuse to buy more sticks!

Quite an accurate guess Chuck! 162.50 was the final ebay price. Think the proxy bidder would have gone more, but there was little competition for it. Still not a bad price for it either way.

And... it's off to the buyer, encased in multiple layers of bubble wrap. Teared up just a little. Hope it's going to a good home.

The secret santa pass blew me several doors down from where I was in september. I'm not even sure which direction.

I think most of my Habanos smoke better at about 62-63%, so I keep them there in a seperate humidor. Aging would be the same. https://www.cubancigarsbest.com/index.php/cohiba-robustos.html
