Why even bother? If its over 50% of CI on everyday smokes its a lost cause. But....they put up smokes that are for the boys with money on out of stock or backorder and its bid war. Supply and demand sets the real prices not a catalog. So many overbid situations are just real time pricing.
Mmao at 50%? Now thats a fantasy. Try 5% off

Just wanted to give everyone the heads up.
In another thread I posted of how I got damaged sticks, it still has yet to be resolved.
I noted the opening of an auction for 5 packs of UF-13s when they told me before that they would not be getting any more.
I updated my ticket telling them I wanted replacements that they obviously now had. I was told again that they don't have any so if you bid on this you will win an email that they are out of stock.....or CS is lying their asses off.
On second thought I may just bid on them to see which lie it is.
Later on in that thread:

Reply from JustinThyme:
One is a lie. There is no getting out of it.
When I saw the auction today I updated the open ticket asking to have the sticks replaced referencing the open auction and you see the result I got. So if they have them they lied to me about not having any to replace them or they lied by placing up items they dont have for bid. She flat out said they don't have any to cover that auction.

"We have also notified our Merchandising team of your findings that there is a lot open for this Liga Privada cigar. This lot is for a quantity of four, and unfortunately, there is no inventory to cover that at this time."
