America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I'm currious, there have been recent lamentations regarding forum participation, and potential impact on sales. I'm certian you folks track this. Do you have any statistical data that would reflect,

1. Active membership?
2. CBid Internet Sales?

Over say the last 6-8 months?

It's not necessarily any of our business. And I certinally understand if you consider the information propriatary. It could be vague, i.e., sales volume up/down % over the last 6-8 monts? That wouldn't seem to share propriatary information about dollars. Also active users could be expressed in terms of % over the last 6-8 months. Just curious, thanks in advance if you provide, no problem in advance if you don't.

Hmmm. Not to sound like a politician but let me take the opportunity to say thanks for helping us continue to survive. CigarBid has grown in all respects since its inception 5 years ago. We've responded by pumping more and more inventory your way, increasing the # of lots and quantity within each lot. Some of you guys probably remember when there was something like 5 lots up at a time. These days Trish literally cringes each week when she sees the lot plan to be uploaded. Thanks for your continuing to help us survive (and spreading the CBID gospel!).

I know that doesn't answer the question but what the hell.
