Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems bidding has been higher overall ever since "those other guys" shut down their bulletin board. I'm not sure why it would happen that way.
We did add a few more posters to the forum, but if they moved over here, it seems these folks had to already know about Cbid. Maybe we got a lot more "new blood", who haven't yet learned good bidding tactics and/or restraint. (I HAVE TO learned restraint!)
Anyway, over bidders are good because I don't feel guilty about all the cigars a practically steal from the auction. I do wish, just once, I could get some Hemingways for a decent price. LOL!
As always, I extend a warm welcome to newbies and all lovers of the leaf. My advice to new bidders is the same as new black jack players. Learn just a few simple rules and the game will be more enjoyable for you as well as the other knowledgeable players around you.
