CI's Make Me an Offer

Anyone ever use the make me an offer section of the CI website? I was curious to know what a good percentage of the MSRP would be good to start with? What range do they generally accept?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I've used it and obviously they have not taken any of my offers. I use CBID and get what i want at the offers I put in.

I also use Cbid.

Haven't had any offers accepted yet from "make me an offer". I don't think it's quite as good of a deal as it sounds like.

Re: CI's Make Me an Offer

It really depends on the cigar. I've had some success with this; got a 5-box of Felipe Gregorio Icons for 20 bucks or so (MSRP $95). You really can't go by MSRP on many things, especially with such a variable-demand market as cigars (I think?). Check other vendors, or even Cigarcyclopedia to know what the average price of the item is, then always go low-ball first. Work in small increments (concessions), and eventually you'll find either you'll get the item for cheaper-than usual, or you can go to a different vendor.

Re: CI's Make Me an Offer

I only tried it once, and they didn't even respond, much less accept. I offered them about 60% of their normal catalog price.
