Yup seems the masses are ok with bidding something up til it's nearly at the same price they can get it for a CI. Oooo you saved $3 versus what it costs over at CI. Amazing.

That or they wait til the last second and fu ck up what would've been a good deal by sniping it. Congrats you've won the item and artificially inflated the price of the item on here.

Now if I see an auction closing and it's a good deal but the winnig bidder put his bid in 4 days ago I leave it alone. Same goes for any APO address I don't bid against our military personnel. I'll get the next one.

Never thought of APOs. I'm sniping tonight!!

I can't understand theese fools that bid the same price or more than the CI price. Uneducated fools! I can't stand the ****head snipers either!

Cigar Bid, THANK GOD, is set up as a SNIPING AUCTION. Other Auction sites give you a minute or two at closing time to enter a new bid if someone out bids you. That is BULL****. All that does is run up the price so the retailer can suck more money out of the bidders pocket. Every bidder can be patient and realize that the stogie they are bidding on most likely will be offered up again and again, and won at the DISOCUNTED auction price, as opposed to a fattened up, last minute bidding feud that runs the price up.

FREEDOM TO SNIPE IS AN AMERICAN RIGHT!!!!

Pretty much contradictory statements there. In one paragraph you say that every bidder can be patient but I guess that doesn't apply to those doing the sniping?

Instead of sniping a good deal, let the person win that was there for the start of the auction.

The auction format doesn't have to change to what you describe because I like that last second proxy bid setup even less.

When I first was on here I sniped some auctions but as I figured things out and bid more I have abandoned sniping auctions. Bid early, bid often, bid low and see how things shake out. That's how smoking deals are found.

I'm tired of popcorn.

Pork Rinds maybe?

Hahaha the lemonheads post got nixed!!!!

The other day I saw an APO that bid over the CI price.#-o

All that fighting for democracy had his heart a flutter.

I buy all my Drew Estate at the B&M anymore because it's cheaper than here most often. Crazy.

Asylum 13 fifty. I was outbid and then the next guy was outbid until the winning bid was up to $5/stick. Can we talk about how most reviewers call this the bargain stick of the year... why are people bidding $5 + shipping for sticks that cost $5.00 at your local b&m.

smh

Is this the Department of Redundancy Department?

The ones sold here are heavier (more tobacco), and aged longer than the ones sold at B&Ms.

La Princessa weighs each cigar on her vintage O'Haus Triple Beam, left over from her party days.

The heaviest ones are sold to ________________ members,and are available only in the _______________ auction site. Usually fivers, but the occasional single as well.

I scored my last fiver for $10.00........not too bad.

"DISOCUNTED?" Sounds like a Freudian slip to me!!!! 😳

More underslip.

Queue the immortal Donutboy mantra, wish I could remember the exact words to this classic rejoinder to the enevitable overbid posts...something to the effect of...oberbidders being "Rich bastages, they don't care. They sneer at us while they light their cigars with $100 bills..."

^see post #24.

I agee. Even with the outrageous tax in nys, certain ones go higher than can be paid at the b&m. Ashton vsg is one for sure.

You are the man! An all time classic that serves as a warm cup of STFU for overbid outrage posts. =d>
