I'm in BIG TROUBLE!!!

I made a ton of bids on the devil site this weekend trying to make a dent in filling the cooler, I smoke faster than I buy. For the first time I can't lose an auction. The problem is I lost my job today. I really needed to lose these auctions. What luck!!

I guess I will have a couple extra smokes to last till I find a new job. Lots of folks out of work with me. The employment office was packed so I just came home.

Anyone aware of a cbid support group?

post links to the auctions you want to lose - my competitive nature often leads me to outbid others despite the cost

This is the only one left http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=618752 I have learned to hate the Indian tabac cigars but keep buying the darn things for some reason. I won about $250 of cigars I don't even like Sat, Sun, and Mon. Thought if I stuck them in the bottom of the cooler they might get a little better with age.

Thanks for the best wishes!!

Tried to help but it looks like I bumped the other bidder and not you.

If you really need the money you can post your winning in the BST for what you paid for them.

Re: I'm in BIG TROUBLE!!!

Sorry to hear about the job situation. This economy sucks and is trying at best. Hope something new rolls along quickly for you.
On a side not, it does seem like C-Bid works like that in some freaky way. I know when I got laid off over three years ago I had just got lucky on a chit load of auctions and won a bunch the same day I lost my job. First time I felt like crap winning a hand full of auctions. I remember the other bids that were still live after that, hoping someone would boot me out of the running. Sorry again to hear about your job situation.

Amen brother!! Well, at least for now.

I am going to hold on to them for awhile. If things get tight I will put them up for sale.

Re: I'm in BIG TROUBLE!!!

As one Arkie to another, I am really sorry about your job situation. I agree with the other poster. You can probably sell off the cigars you don't want. Take care and good luck in your job search!

Re: I'm in BIG TROUBLE!!!

I was outbid on the last auction. What is sad is I caught myself looking around for more to bid on. I mean I already have some coming and I would save on shipping. Fighting with the Devil is tough. No more bidding for me.

Thanks again for the best wishes guys. On a plus side. I have had three cigars today so far. Beautiful weather here. Perfect for a relaxing day with a couple of good smokes.
