Things like RP OWR maduro for around 2.5 each, got some CAO VR's for 2.25 each and so on.
Not saying they're great for everything but I usually end up spending 1/3 less that lowest price online. Just have to watch what they have and comparison shop then set your limit.

I am bidding on way too many friggen things. I was in class on my phone making bids. Im bidding on stuff I don't even really need but the deals are so good I don't want to pass them up.

Anyone ever see the "Wal-Mart" Southpark episode?

Don't forget to use CHIMP to know if you're REALLY getting a good deal or not!

Here's a good example....cain double toro....someone bid more on devil site than what they could buy them for from CI...and I didn't check any other sites to see if it's lower!

I like the CHIMP. But it hasn't been updated since April 2009. And it doesn't have J.Fuego cigars in it. Is anyone here a member of the cigarasylumcom? Can you contact the admin for it to be updated plz? thx

I started comparing and did find some good deals as well as not so good. I guess you just need to know what prices are normal for the things you like and want to bid on. I may give this a try at the end of the week. I saw some box deals to quick buy that were 40% of CI prices.

I've been bitten by the devil site bug myself. Two things that I've noticed help are getting in on bids when they open and knowing exactly how much you want to spend on a given lot (autobid). Plus getting in early often gives the option of quick buy. Most times quick buys are well worth it.

I like that CHIMP tool, that would be a great way to judge whether a quick buy is necessary.

Oy. Managed to drop $100 in the past week. I did get 60 cigars for that, but the wife is not going to be ecstatic....
