I've got a small (~25 stick) starter humidor, but even that is turning out to be a bit tight for what I keep around. I'm thinking of getting something a little bigger, but would like some advice.

Are there a lot of bad humidors out there? Do you have to really see one up close and personal in order to not get burned? Are there any features that are especially good or bad?

For instance, is there any down side to a glass top? I see stuff like the Pompeii (http://www.atlanticcigar.com/pompeiihumidor.html)
that's mighty purdy and seems to go for around $100. It or look-alikes also show up on eBay for ridiculously low no-reserve initial prices (e.g. $10). Is there a catch? (Does anybody have that model??)

Or should I just stop agonizing and put together a coolerdor?
