You fellas need to stop trying to win by constantly overpaying. The whole purpose of an auction is to get a GOOD DEAL...not win at any cost. Hell if you want to pay over retail go to the local cigar shop and give the proprieter more money than is already posted as the asking price.

If you have received the CigarsInternational catalog, you can see that many of the same products are listed using the same descriptions. It seems that with enough effort, you can find deals on Cigarbid.com that beat the standard deals in the catalog. As long as I come in better that the catalog, I feel I have done at least ok. But hey, in the end, I let my fingers do the surfing if the price is too high. There are plenty of places that sell web-smokes, but they are near as fun.

But really, I think we are talking more that prices here anyway. For me, I write software all day. Coming to Cigarbid.com is a form of escape. So it "makes my disposable income go up in smoke", it also makes for a way more interesing day. Sometimes I even find myself staying late, just to nurse my bids. Truely, this is more addicting than the cigar itself. Plus, when I get home, if I was lucky, I have another "present" waiting in the mailbox.

Best of luck fellow addicts.

I couldn't agree more than to the both of you. Not having the catalog in mention, I too can sometimes wonder the prices some apparently are willing to offer when bidding. Some brands also appear as very trendy, therefore going extremely high in bids. I too stay up late to nurse my bids, but hailing from Denmark and therefore being 7 hrs ahead in time, I have to stay up to say 4 or 5 in the morning (GMT +1) and therefore often looses the more interesting bids. - Yes bidding can be more accidtive than accual smoking the things.

It is funny to see some of the prices compared with the catalog and other affiliated websites, such as cigarsinternational.com.

i just thought i'd scroll all the way to the end and find the last/first(?) posting that really discussed something. gee, how times and topics change... LOL

You tricked me. I thought this was a new post.

This puts a new light on those people who blame the sudden surge of new bidders.

Same old b**ching about overbidding...Nothing new

bidding too much. hmm, i never thought of that, and it has a name, "overbidding".

i'm going to try it and see if i can get some really good cigars.

This topic has more lives than a cat. DAMN! If its not your $$$, then why do you care. To each his/her own.

Let's complain to Gonz and Keith about those damn overbidders. I bet they'll pet a stop to it right quick! lol.

Hey, I recently won one of those Genuine Swiss Army cigar tool knives for $28. (which cuts beautifully, BTW)

I love them overbidders.

that was supposed to read "put a stop to it".

I can't remember hearing the phrase in a long time, but when I was still aspiring to adulthood, parents sounded quite determined to putting a stop to "necking and petting" ...

Unless the risks involved are more substantial, I see little point in making an effort to putting a stop to petting stoptoits.

I do believe this is the first overbidding post. As you can see, even in the early days of fantastic deals, there was always someone aggravated at the action. Anyone seen PB lately?

Okay, maybe not, but is it the first Slimboli dead horse link?

WOW, this is surprising to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!

What all are you bidding on, so I can bump it up a little more, heheheeee.

Just how high can we get it? LOL!

OH just my .02

Old, old, old.

Man ... I sure do miss the abitlity to to the HTML stuff, linking, changing fonts and color and sizes ...

... I really thought I was on to something when I discovered back then that we could do that on this forum.

Then Gonz decided that we couldn't ... and fixed us real good ... LOL!

At first glance I thought these were a buncha bit**in' newbies. I guess there a buncha bit**in' oldies. 🙂
