The guy who gave it to me said it would be valuable someday, and boy he wasn't kidding. As much as it pains me to do so, I've fallen on rather hard times as of lately and have been kinda forced into selling it. I've done some research and it seems auctions are pretty much the best way to go. Is there anyway you can give me some advice or guidance as how and where to start the process of entering what I have into some kind of auction? Thank you so much for your time. -Tim from VegasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671736943123424684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-86865242993673077802014-08-11T16:06:14.575-05:002014-08-11T16:06:14.575-05:00Some stores still have the humidor set with the 16...Some stores still have the humidor set with the 16-year-old gold capsule for $1,300-$1,500.
