Ya once you've smoked cigars for awhile you'll see that you overbid on them. Nothing wrong with it, I bid on crap when I was new to cigars and new to here too. Now I still bid on crap but it's better crap! Come back in a year and look at your post, your palate will be more intune with flavors you like and you'll be smoking better cigars by then.

Fair enough but that's not what "overbidding" is. Overbidding is merely paying more for items here than one can find elsewhere. It's an objective standard. It's not about what sticks are good or not, which is a matter of opinion.

Even that, isn't quite "correct" imho.
Because now you are comparing cbid to "others", who shall not be mentioned.
To me, over-bidding on cbid, is simply paying more for an item than what the mothership sells said item for every day.

And even then, sometimes, a person wants something in particular to add to an existing order.........the clock is ticking........he wants it......his weekly shipping deadline is 6 hours away..........so he bids $8/ea on 2 singles that the mothership always sells for $6...................eh.............it happens. He's not going to order two singles from the mothership...........shipping costs, etc.

We need over-bidders......................

Fine, however I think overbidding can also be compared to other auctions here. For example, I remember getting 5 singles for less than a 5-pack of the same cigar, even including the extra shipping on the singles. There was a 10-cigar freefall that, even at its lowest price, was more than two 5-packs of the same stick. Etc.

I'm sure shipping schedules play a role in some overbids, but there are certainly a ton of people who don't just overbid by a couple of bucks but pay far more than is rational were they to shpo around a little.

And we NEED those fine folks...............desperately.
If everyone shopped like me.....................or bothered to attend the DP Newell Seminar of Online Cigar Buying........................there would be far fewer deals to be had.

You can have them. I recently won my 'cigar of the year' here for half that.....

We all mock the influence of advertising $$ on the CA COTY process, but I'll bet the payers get their money's worth when they come out in the top 10
