hi I'm leaving in two days and I'm quitting smoking when i leave. i have canadian cigarettes called Belmont Mild. they are premium cigarettes. I have 4 packs. Sealed and purchased in canada 3 months ago.

Price for all four packs - 40,000 won.
Regular price in Canada is $11 - $12 each

Pick up at pyeongchon station or mailing is okay. I would need you to pay for shipping though and send me a money transfer ahead of time.

Since when are Belmonts considered premiun cigarettes?

[uni_puni]

If you smoke belmonts than you would think they are premium. All the belmont smokers that i know smoke belmonts and belmonts only.

So you're asking for a 400% markup on the duty-free smokes you bought a year ago?

[uni_puni]

What nonsense are you speaking? Do you not know how to communicate! I bought each pack for 11.50 in Vancouver 3 months ago, NOT A YEAR AGO! Now I am selling each pack for 10,000 KOREAN WON! which is a total of 40,000 KOREAN WON! Which is CHEAPER THAN I PURCHASED THEM! NORTHWAY I DONT KNOW IF YOUR CONFUSED, but your message really upset me, its not 40,000 per pack its 40,000 for four packs which I did not buy at duty free! The price is cheaper than I bought them, I am selling all four packs together. I just thought Canadians in Korea might want some because they miss having great cigarettes. I am going home and I can easily sell them to my friends, but I thought maybe I would be doing some Canadians who smoked belmonts a favor, But thanks for bringing me down.

You would sell cigarettes to your friends? Jeez!

Aren't most cigarettes like 8-10 a pack in Canada? Well they are 2.50 a pack in Korea.

lol at the big fit over the 400% markup comment.

dude, you are likely gonna end up selling these cigs to your friends anyways. yes you are offering a 10% discount, but i feel you are gonna have to go a lot lower than that to sell them off.

i smoke belmonts when i'm home... but dang, half the reason i'm still in korea is cuz packs cost 2500 won here. honestly, i would think you would have problems selling them for 5000 won.

i could be wrong, and good luck, but if you're trying to unload them here you're gonna have to take a bigger loss (imo).

So you're asking for a 400% markup on the duty free smokes you bought three months ago, excuse me.

If you elected to purchase smokes at the store rather than duty free, that's just dumb.

Korea has better smokes than Canada and they cost 2.50. Good luck.
