Been here 6 years and this is the first time I won a lot and the cigars changed from what I bid on.

Lot #2525202 - Originally was for:

5 - La Aroma de Cuba Robusto (5" x 54)
5 - La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 5 Robusto (5.5" x 54)

So I bought 2 QB. I knew something was wrong by the good deal.

But if you look at the other winning bids you have to know there is something wrong here. No one would pay $30 for a five pack of 5 Vegas.

Called customer service and the lady told me that is not possible. An Auction can not change. Well when the ret of those winners call up to complain she will believe me. Has this happened to anyone else?

Lol. Thanks for your reply. If i am a liar than what are the people who bid $31 on a 5 pack of crap? Are they just newbies?

Pictures have been messed up the last few days are you sure you read the description?

This probably should be in the overbid thread.

well, I dunno ... MrsS isn't so tech-savvy either and has had any number of issues that I've had to sort through in order to solve ... what I've learned over the years is that she's not a 'liar', she's just completely mistaken ... from her perspective, she's quite righteously sure of herself ... she's just wrong ... and sometimes vocal ...

could be that's what our new friend is ... mistaken, wrong and vocal ...

I haven't been following all the complaint threads, but I thought I did see someone say that cbid was out of business....if you got someone to answer the phone, I guess you're way ahead of most.

Gotta admit, there's something a bit weird about that lot.....been a number of years, but I used to enjoy the 5VCS every so often...but at $3 or less...not $6; that's for sure.

If you like clowns, you, sir, have come to the right place!!!

not from the perspective of bc from lv ... he and the guy from TX eacg got two units for that price ... all those other fellas, not so much ...

In any event, nice work cobra ... you've shined a light in the the darkness that the rest of us were bumping around in ...

I am BC from LV. And I personally would never pay even $15.50 for these cigars. I thought I was getting a sweet deal on a 10 pack. I bought it right when the auction opened because I saw how low the QB price was for the 10 pack when checking out the morning listings.

Notice what that actual URL says ^^

..now, when you view it in your web browser see what it "says".

Here's something else!

http://www.cigarbid.com/...strength-toro-5-cigars/

TWO auctions with the same lot number??? WTF
..can somebody explain that??


Calling the OP a liar is pretty strong language and unwarranted IMO, especially with all the problems this website has been having! At least give him the benefit of the doubt before lashing out like that. sheeesh

If you haven't noticed this site has been unavailable every other day now at some point ever since they closed for maintenance. Pretty sure I saw an auction close early because it had wrong QB and then reopen same day with what was probably the right QB. There has been tons of glitches as well. I believe the guy and think CS should owe him an apology since they surely should know their site has been running like crap recently.

No problem, this ain't rocket science. The sad part is it takes a noob to point it out. Glad I could help.

Good catch, pretty sure this is a legit gripe.

Just verified, that link was in fact indexed on google with the incorrect products in the url.

Glad I'm not in buy mode right now, lol.

+1 I think this guy is owed his cigars and not those **** 5vegas either. It's a glitch but it doesn't matter, they kept the doors open through this mess so CI should make it right.

+1 Agree so glad I'm not bidding during this.

Not funny.
..and, I get it, you're just ball busting now.

Sometimes discretion is warranted, especially when somebody comes with a serious grievance like this.

The 5Vegas bids are hilarious..the buy it now price is half of what many of the bidders paid for them. It is one thing not to check ci, but when the evidence is staring you in the face and you bid higher....man wow

Adding it is a run on 5 Vegas lmao. It is so out there it really makes one question the affects of the glitches/shutdowns going on these last few weeks.

You should flirt with them a little. Maybe send a weiner pic and say you would never bid on such a tiny cigar

Also not calling OP a liar, but you can make the thing after the lot # anything you want.

Had a little 'fun' with the system the other day.

Check out the link to the photo....

http://bennie-smith.net/cpm/displayimage.php?pid=488&fullsize=1


The gray description bar says: 5-Pack: Makers Choice Natural (25)

The image and other description are for 5 Vegas.

So, I went ahead and bid $9 to see what would happen. ($7 in the image, but $9 when I pushed the button.)

I 'won' and got 2 emails.

One said I won 25 Makers Choice for $9.

The other email said I had won a 5-pack of 5 Vegas for $10.

Woo hoo... Think

Beer
