I BEG you to find someone who sent me boxes for nothing, that didn't give me consent to turn them into clocks and sell them. I've never asked for free boxes once on this site or any other, any time I've asked for a box(s) I've always sent something to cover the cost and shipping or whatever the person sending the box was asking for it. If you're going to make accusations like this Brandon, you better have the ammunition to back it up, same for you Drew.This is fucking ridiculous.
And just since we're nitpicking and getting all anal about the details, the rule that was quoted earlier says to set a price and sell it, but does not specify that the price must be posted publicly. Sure, that's traditionally the way we've done things, but it's not an actual "rule". Wade's been around long enough and has proven that he's not a scammer or out to selectively rip off members, so why don't we just drop the bullshit excuses for trying to call him out and just get to the point and have at it.
Maybe we can start an exclusive sub-forum where people can go ahead and start entire threads to call each other out and get in their girl-fights. That way it won't keep cluttering up the rest of the board.
Gonz Wade has ripped of plenty of members on this board, myself included. And I don't know how asking for free cigar boxes, adding a $5 clock, and selling it for $40 is not ripping off this community. And I guess selling cigars that were gifted to him is not looked down upon here either?? It seems that Wade is trying to benefit from the generosity of this community, and I don't like that.

Interesting information. I was not personally aware that he was re-selling gifted boxes without consent of the sender. I wonder how much he is making per hour if you figure it takes probably 15 mintues (or less for a skilled craftsman) to make one... :whistling:
Well, from the sounds of it, hojadepuro has in some way shape or form helped you acquire a box. I commented on it because this is the first that I have heard from somebody who (from the sounds of it) sent you a box and isn't OK with you putting $5 worth of parts into it and re-selling it for $40.
In either event, I don't think the entire issue is you being sent boxes for nothing, it is a BOTL profiting from another BOTL. For example. Say if I purchase or trade an Anejo from another member. I come up with a clever idea to attach a clock to it (worth $5), to make it a cigar-clock. Would it be right for me to sell it for $40? I admit that is a pretty far-fetched comparison, and it sounds downright stupid, but if you think for a minute...what are you doing differently?
What difference does it make even if someone did give him the boxes? So what!! It seems that every time Wade has something to say or sell on this forum he gets his ass slammed. I have only had a few dealings with Wade but he has always been stand-up to me if he has screwed you in the past speak up or leave him alone. This is some child-like behavior guys. As far as the Clocks go either buy one or don't it doesn't matter if he is charging 250 dollars for them. It is starting to sound like a bash Wade every time he post. He is a good craftsman and is proud of his work I would be too.
Did you even read my post? Do you know what a BOTL is?
Would you be mad if you gifted me cigars or a cigar box and I re-sold it for a PROFIT?
