  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

New Dupont!

If I would have seen the auction you wouldn't have gotten it so cheap...

Just sayin' :grin:
Me too. I've been looking on ebay a lot lately looking for Dupont lighters/cutters which is why Im surprised you got it and so cheap. Guess it was badly misspelled cuz I've been really looking almost daily for the last couple weeks. Didn't even see a commando edition. Great score again.

It wasn't mis-spelled; actually it had a buy it now option and had only been listed for 1 hour during the middle of the day.

Thank you much! I see that you live in Kent; I grew up in Olympia. Miss it up there but not the weather you guys have been having!
Trust me, you don't miss this place. My local cigar shop is called "Rain City Cigar" for a reason. Your nice little city of Olympia declared this state in a "state of emergency" yesterday if you haven't heard. :frownno:

Nice score man, that's a great price for a nice set. I would be concerned about the low price on ebay, but I don't know if that set was counterfeited. You can very well find deals if you have good timing.

But for anyone else looking to get a Dupont on ebay, read this... and also do a Google search of "Dupont lighter china" to see for yourself. Almost anything of high value now days can be bought as counterfeits in China... Bose, jerseys, lighters, pens, iphones... anything.

Yes there is alot of fakes on eBay... But the lower end duponts are almost never faked.. Ie minijet/maxijet..

Once you get into the lige, lige 2, Gatsby etc... You gotta be wary!

A friend bought a ligne 2 (fake) and took it to a Dupont dealer who offered him hundreds of dollars more than he paid for it. Friend wouldn't sell but some of these fakes can fool even Dupont dealers.
