Yeah....I am still working on the final figure

Hurry Pete Dont miss out
Wait do you have inside INFO

junglepete · 05/18/2009 10:58 PM

Okay...my guess is $570.

Even though I think it is closer to $600 I am only going a buck over Eddie's bid. I did spend a fair bit of time adding them all up and there is more than meets the eye in that bunch. I think a lazy shopper could have easily spent 675 Plus on that lot.

I think Lowpro went o bed and is going to leave us hanging until the morning

He did say he was half in the bag...

Time is up, but he said he would announce the winner tuesday morning, so we'll have to wait.

Edit: I'm assuming he meant 11 PM eastern time, since he is in PA.

What else is new on this site this time of night! Look out, I'm drinking a few myself this evening after work!

My calculated value was 638 dollars. Which I believe would make JunglePete the winner! Can someone verify that just to make sure I didn't miss someone's guess? Most people came in really low, which made me thing some people never got to page 2 or you guys think I'm some sort of cigar shopping genius.

Yeah, I figured it was north of $600 but applied some discounts. The CCs make it tricky. Congratulations!

Rich said closest without going over, so I underbid a bit on purpose. Still, I figure he got some deals on the more expensive sticks in the box (such as Ashton ESG and FFOX) so I deliberatly undervalued those.

Congrats Pete on the win! Maybe you should look into a career as a claims adjuster for cigar losses :biggrin:

Congrats Pete.

Let me know how to get you your prize. I know sometimes you have issues getting packages being in Canada.

A couple of things. I figured someone would have just taken 5 dollars a stick and multiplied it by 138 and came up with a value that would have been 52 buck higher, that would have been the winner in this case. Pete's bid was 58 dollars off. I never said you couldn't go over, just in the event of a tie the winner would be the under. So if someone guessed 640 and 636, the 636 would be the winner. It was as much art as science in any case, like I said, if I couldn't remember what I paid I just valued things at retail. Hope you guys had fun, I had fun watching all the guesses come in. Congrats to Pete again.

That was fun! Thanks!

junglepete · 05/19/2009 08:26 AM

I'll PM you my mailing address.

When I added them all up my exact figure came out to 675.00 If anyone would have gone with 5x138 = 690, I would have stuck closer to 650.00

That was generous of you to offer the contest and fun to participate in. Thanks again!

Congrats Pete.

Thanks Rich for putting together this contest.
