The TW logo is worth about -£10, so about £15 for a secondhand battery sounds about right.

I buy from them because they are my closest ecig shop plus I know they are official joyetech and I have plenty of comeback on warranty etc if anything goes wrong. Aside from that, the seller is a very decent guy and I often just go up for a chat after work. If he sold other brands, I would have other brands but he doesn't. When he opened his business, he decided to use tw as his supplier. The twist is now for sale in the classified section including a few extras. allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=classified&thread=13077&page=1#262282

Chillerhippie - as you may have gathered, there is some animosity towards a certain vendor!! You may want to Google (other search engines are available) the closing down of certain fora in the past with Terrifically Wonky input (if you get my drift!). Can't help you with the sale of your battery as I'm a newbie, but have some understanding of the history of these fora!

And my main problem with a certain vendor is nothing to do with any forum, its their over the top prices, even for genuine joye, they are well over priced IMO.

Yeah, I would hate for someone like that to get too much of a foothold on the market. Imagine if that's what started turning up in your corner shop. >

I do happen to know a bit about what happened and if I'm honest, haven't we all been a dick to somebody at least once in our lives? The way I heard it was, multiple people were having a dig at a company, it kept on going on, 1 person from the company took it on there self to retaliate, turned into a keyboard warrior and threatens silly things which the site owner took to heart and decided to closed shop over.
Yes, perhaps if your so high up in a company, you shouldn't be let near a web forum due to the fact that as humans, we usually want to protect the things we hold close to our hearts. But it happened and lessons must be learnt on both sides. If your a company, stay away from public forums, unless you have a very cool head. (somebody is always going to complain or have a go at least once and as much as you want to you should never bite back)
if your a forum owner or mod, if somebody requests for a conversation to be stopped regardless of freedom of speech etc, you should use your mod rod and do so since it's obviously causing offence to someone if they asked you to put a stop to it. (defuse the bomb)
If I'm right, the forum in question is up and running again which is great but how long will it take for the company to regain peoples trust? I mean look at this, people are that against the company that they won't even buy a second hand product which none of there money will be going to the company.
Also, on a final note, why wouldn't you want to see tw in corner shops? Yes you might be paying a bit more for them but at least it's a good bit of kit for the money (have a look at elites) they are disgustingly overpriced, and nearly in every corner shop.

Thanks Chiller, you have added some flesh to my bare-bones explanation. As a newbie I was fortunate enough to read about this in detail quite early on, so was just wanting to inform others about the animosity to TW, and why. There is no reason why someone shouldn't take on the corner-shop market with some better quality products (in fact I'm going to have a chat with the owner of my local tobacconist this morning!), but I'm sure that we would all agree that we would want to see good gear at competitive prices

I mean look at this, people are that against the company that they won't even buy a second hand product which none of there money will be going to the company. I don't think it's the make of the product, which are actually regarded as generally good quality, the problem is that because the seller has paid more initially so when they come to sell the second hand price takes a bigger hit than goods from other vendors. Take the same product:lets call it a "Widget" From Vendor A the widget costs the seller £15 new but the same type of widget is available from other vendors is £10 new. The problem comes when you try to sell your your widget which is now second hand, bought from vendor A you only ask £10, thinking it's a good price but because it only cost £10 new from vendor B it does not look good value to others. As a seller whilst the goods you are selling may be in pristine condition the buyer does not have the guarantee that he may have got from a vendor. Of course there are exceptions, the goods may be rare or collectable which may warrant a higher price, there are many variables. Just my 10p's worth.

My initial point was tongue in cheek to a certain extent re the logo involved, but those batteries are available cheaper brand new elsewhere, with a warranty. The fact that TW puts a premium on its pricing means that there's far less chance of the reseller achieving that price, even on a day old battery.

Answered your own question there, they are over priced, why would I want to see them in my corner shop when I have local sellers who are actually cheaper than most online stores? I have no desire to see elites in my local corner shop either btw, yes, they too are over priced.
