How come with some winning bids I will recieve a box or two of matches and sometimes none at all? Do you have to spend a certain amount of money to recieve the matches? Just wondering.

It's Cbid's way of saying "I love you"

So it's the ol' "She loves me, she loves me not" bit. I didn't catch on to that tidbit until I needed the packing peanuts for something else, I went through about 8 boxes and got 6 boxes of matches. I keep some in the garage,my golf bag(in case the lighter ever fails),and usually give them to friends as a way of "turning them on" to CBid!

The matches are just a promotional item ... a little advertising. Probably when they've got them handy, they throw them in as a little bonus.

They don't have to put anything 'extra' in the box, just be thankful that they do every so often ...

The time to worry, is when you open the box, and all you get is matches. Hehe!

Uh, Mag, I'm laughing even harder -- shouldn't that be "MY butt and YOUR face"? I don't think the way you've got it is exactly flattering to yourself. He he.

Mag, an even older line was "Not since Superman died"
(after the death of George Reeves, the original TV Superman)

Matches, I didnt get no stinking matches.

Is this your way of tormenting a new guy?? I received my 1st order from CBid saturday and never though to look past the 2 great boxes of smokes.
After reading your post I dumpt out my box and now all I got is a floor full of nuts (STYROFOAM).
No CBid love for me either : (

jj, when it comes to everything but NFL threads I'm a "Cool Cat", I get along.
Now, when it comes to football, I realize Im more agressive. That was because I was gang tackled on that "Raider Domination" thread I posted after the patriots game.
Its fine though, I'm enjoying myself.
