What is it with some of these people. Just now, I again witnessed some Bozo that bid $7.00 more (for a 5-pack)than you can buy them for -RETAIL- on the internet! ...and it justed opened TODAY. Is it they have more money than brains. I'm seeing this more and more, lately. Saw one a few weeks ago that went for $16 OVER retail. What the heck are you goof-balls doing. GO TO THE STORE OR ORDER DIRECTLY OFF THE INTERNET (IF YOU WANT TO PAY THOSE PRICES) AND LET THE REST OF US BID A SAVE A BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dead horse! Dead horse! Dead horse!

you must be living in a cave if you haven't seen hundreds of examples of this and hundreds of conversations regarding this...try a search and find out all you want to know about alleged "overbidding"

(c'mon, that was a good pun,huh??)

I think the forum should add another rule to its list. No asking why people pay more then retail. No need to be a crybaby just because someone jacked the price up on something you wanted. Would you still complain if they went to a dollar under retail or retail? Then you still wouldn't get a bargain, so would you cry then too?

Do a search before they outbid you. When they outbid you and pay more than retail, relax another auction for the same will start soon. Until then enjoy a smoke and stay at the mad house, I mean forum, heheheee. When idividuals spend more than retail, I say thank you for keeping CBid in business!!! LOL!

Remember not everyone knows about CBid and CI. A good friends brother I was talking to at a Superbowl party told me he buys his cigars from Cigar International, but he knew nothing about CBid. Lets see if he figures it out.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Relax and enjoy that smoke,

Just bid what YOU are willing to pay for various lots. Then sit back and see what happens. If you're overbid, do the same thing when new lots come out, etc. However, there is a danger here; occasionally there is very little overbidding..........and suddenly you found you've won everything, or almost, that you've bid on..........talk about an approach/avoidance situation...........

I pay more than retail, once in a while. 😛.

The local stores sell above MSRP, and I have to support them once in a while, you know 😉

is this another overbidder bitching.

question mark was not needed.

it was a rhetorical question.

what arwings said....
bid what you are willing to pay for them/it ! try again till you suck seed 🙂
let the others pay more and that will end your problem of paying more than retail. i bid what i'm "willing" to pay for it...not just to win! you get caught up in a bidding war...your out money!

First: I have never read nor posted on this forum, so I would not know that this topic was previously discussed and is now a "Dead Horse". EXCUSE ME!
Second: I did not get beat out on a bid to which I am 'Complaining' nor did I ask for information on how I should conduct my bidding. READ THE QUESTION.
Third: I asked a simple question to which I expected an INTELLIGENT response, of which I did not get, due to all you self-centered, egotistical blow-hards with a terminal case of rectal/cranial inversion.
Lastly: I imagine all you Cbidding "Wizards" will jump all over this with your 'more wonderful than thou' wit. Keep it. I won't be back to post again nor will I bother to come back to read your titillating repartee. If, in the future, if I need denigrating, obnoxious jack-offs to badger me over a simple question, I'll go into politics.

lol...I've seen thin skin in my time but that was just silly. If it was his first/last time to post here I'd love to know how he expected an "Intelligent" response to ...". What the heck are you goof-balls doing. GO TO THE STORE OR ORDER DIRECTLY OFF THE INTERNET (IF YOU WANT TO PAY THOSE PRICES) AND LET THE REST OF US BID A SAVE A BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Em

lol.... I still say my "cave" pun was awesome....

Ethan, was he talking about you here?

"self-centered, egotistical blow-hards with a terminal case of rectal/cranial inversion. " LOL

...hey....I do resemble that comment.....

except that "blow hard" part...although I've heard tony complain about that with you.....

WOW, tempermental Neanderthal! Sometimes, though, it does feel good to beat something even if it's dead. Just yesterday I went to one of those cheap cigarette stores that also happens to sell cigars and they were asking $12 for a sungrown chateau fuente. Ouch! talk about gouging. Anyway, I didn't buy anything because I couldn't decide whether or not I should remove the cello.

Ok Ok so I set him off. See what I get for being silly and poking fun. I will now return to my stoic and humorless self.

I wish Cbid would auction off a thicker skin for some of these folks. 😉

I bid $172.64 for thicker skin. Doooh is that over retail. LOL

This all could've been avoided if CBid would make the "NEWBIE HINTS" post required reading, but then we would be deprived of such witty banter. { =^ )
