I hate when that happens to me! I'll have a great price and somebody jumps in there and takes my stogies!

Re: 10 Ways to tell that you have a cigarbid.com problem

Damn, I almost had 8 full days clean, until I got that email this morning for the RPs. Now, if I don't win them, does that still count as having a problem?

I believe that is true most of the time, but today I was looking at some histories of bids on some items and found the opposite to be true. However, I didn't have enough data points to make that call -- previously it was based on memory, but my scripts I'm writing actually save all the data so I can see it at any time to help me make my decisions.
