I find that to be true in all areas ... the quickies, samplers, boxes and 5-packs ... for me, there are more cigars that I don't smoke than those which I DO ... but I buy as much from quickies as from any other area ... I find enough that I like for which my bid eventually prevails that I just got a call from home, hollering about the most recent charges to the cc ...

The Quickies tend to offer less quantity which tends to result in a higher winning bid price. I rarely bid on quickies for that reason.

CJ I have found that to be true of the Onyx. More good ones then bad ones though, and the beli's are the best of the bunch IMO.

Goose...I disagree. The short term bidding on Quickies often catches some of us sleeping while long term exposure of other Category lots gives all of us a chance to check in before bidding ends. Result is a 5-pack in Quickies can often go for less than the same lot in 5-packs. I usually start with Quickies until I get a winner, then bottom fish the other categories. That might explain my lack of winners lately. Quickies offerings haven't been whetting my taste buds.
