Devil Site

[jbo]

Well, so far, I have escaped relatively unscathed. So far, I'm 0 for 6 in bids. I thought I had won a sampler of Alec Bradley's last night. I went home about nine p.m. and was in the lead and thought I had autobid enough to win...however, someone came in with five minutes to go and outbid me.

I guess I ought to thank everyone...it's hard to get addicted when you keep losing.

You will win one sooner or later and then you will find your addiction

LOL... some of the bids don't make sense. Some folks will bid more than they can outright buy them online. When I bid, I am looking for a deal.

Anyway, fear not. You'll get some experience with "winning" soon.

(Is it really winning when all you are doing is buying what somebody is selling? Kind of like putting money in a pop machine and pressing Pepsi... and yelling out "I won" when the can drops!)

Take care.

Luckily for me I steer clear of bidding on that site. I do peruse it often, though. Just in case I am able to find that one special steal..

Otherwise no bids for me (which is a good thing, us college students don't have a lot of money! Especially since I had to have my car fixed twice in the past week and a half..)

I typically only bid on things that are at least 50% off the retail on like CI, JR or Famous. I want my cbid stuff to have real value. Because of that my record is only about 50% I just don't want to win it for the sake of winning I want value smokes for my bid. Next month is my birthday, soo I may treat myself and go up to 70% lol.

Like you Addiction, I make sure the winning bid is meaningful. I use BestCigarPrices.com for my comparison...among a couple of others.

I'll stick with around 50%, but once I win some I'm willing to spend closer to retail on others I want as I'll be paying the shipping already.

I'm with you on my bidding. I'll take a higher end cigar to 20% off retail if I already have some things coming.

Cbid =

Don't worry I haven't bidded or won anything from the devil site either.

I haven't looked around too much on cbid but it seems like the cigars are mostly overpriced. I don't think I have seen any deals on that site yet.

There are literally tons of deals of cbid. Heck I'd say the average winning bid is at least 20% lower than internet prices. You do see some things going for more than retail but its rare, you should look around again.

No deals? I want to know the places/sites you buy from! I understand that many premium cigars cost more on Cbid (Opus X, Padron Anni), but many other brands always seem cheaper.

Keep your head up!! Wait till you get some Toranos or RPs for two bucks a stick. That will keep your hand on the mouse a few hours a night. I don't buy a lot from CBid but I spend WAY to much time comparing CBid to retailers and looking for a deal. I probably could have built an arc or something with the time I spend looking at auctions. Of course it's hard to smoke and hammer; smoking and clicking not so much.
