It's not trickery on the part of CI that they use a bundle photo for a single.

In this age of instant gratification we expect everything to be handed to us ready to serve.

.....but I agree. I would also like to only see a pic of a single stick instead of a bundle.

Stop laughing at me!

I enjoy paying MSRP+ for Gurkha. It keeps up their mystique.

[freakygar]

So, right now the guys in for $337 for 50 smokes that's, $7.74 a stick without shipping. Is that high for these?

Are we sure this is not VOLT? He is a Gurkha whore.

It states right there in normal print that the picture is not indicative of the lot up for bid so it's nobody's fault but his. He's lucky he got all those 5 packs to bring his average stick cost down.

[pistolero]

Note to self: stay away from cigarbid after more than 6 beers.

Not me dude, my bids will have MM of VA in them. I have smoked those and maybe a $2.5 to $3.00 stick as I have learned I'm overly fond of the perfecto shape. It's just a wierd smoking cigar.

Now that's a Gurkha Whore! I'm just a wanna B.

See! He is not a Gurkha Ho, just a perfecto HO!

[mdtaggart]

Hopefully this guy will figure out what he has done and contact C-bid to correct is mistake.

[kalvinchris]

ouch that's a lot of money for those sticks.

[dwhitacre]

I'm going to help him out... by out bidding him on those singles!

[Mr Flibble]

I have made this mistake before. I was bidding on boxes/bundles and 5packs. When I got to the 5ers my mind was still stuck on the box bids and I way overbid. I got lucky that no one pushed my auto-bid to it's max.

[freakygar]

Good News!

He has lost 2 of the 5ers so his per stick cost is now $7.63! (Shipping not included)

Actually, it is trickery.

Using the bundle photo isn't an honest mistake. CB and profits when mistakes like this are made. I'm sure this has happened before and been brought to their attention, yet they continue the deceptive and dishonest practice. Isn't that the very definition of trickery?

Another CB example is listing mazos as "Boxes". In that case, we are told to refer to the picture, where no box is shown, or to the item description which often conflicts with the categorization. How about some consistency?

I agree with the general "Let the buyer beware" policy, and have luckily been able to avoid such errors, but it seems that CB has no interest in addressing these issues and inconsistencies.

The buyer could be held fully financially responsible. But CB shares responsibility here, and if they are a respectable business, they will meet their customer half way in a situation like this. If I made this mistake, I would be calling them expecting negotiation I good faith to reach a compromise acceptable to me and CB.

He sure did swoop on 'em!
