[quote=LeeBot]Yeah. I just saw some MB3s selling for $27 per 5 pack. It's a pretty big auction too, 25 lots. I looked at my orders, and last November I paid $12. Almost everything is like that. [/quote]
They still go for 15-18 a fiver at the other place…………...occasionally…

How about this one...$5k for Blackened...

I hope that was meant to be $50.01

That's a little steep... but maybe they really like them

I smoked one of those for the first time last night. It was ok, but didn't seem all that special to me.


I might go $25k - $30k for a box, tops.

Did I overbid on these? I usually see these going for much more but this unit size was a lot higher, so I got a better entry. Oliva All-Star Flight Sampler #2
15 Cigars
1 0 1 $44.00 $44.00
Oliva 5-Star #2 Sampler
5 Cigars
1 0 1 $13.00 $13.00

Oh crap, I did overpay 😣

Its OK Greg, all part of the growth process.
At least you didn’t buy crap. Oliva makes decent stuff, and some pretty good stuff.

That 15 cigar sampler is possibly one of the worst anyone could come up with at least for me. Never smoking a Gilberto I liked, don't care for the G's and don't like the o's as much as I once did.

Well I’m guilty as charged.
Didnt really look at what was in the sampler.
I figured a traditional mix of Oliva, O, G, MB3, some Vs, some Melanio….

Gilbertos, Gs and Os?
Meh….

But Oliva does make some really good cigars King. You were right abouy that.

This is going to hurt a bit...

My only guess is that he thinks he is getting both for $576...


Surprise surprise.

Ouch!
But just the MSRP for those is…………………………..stupid.
Then again, I have not tried one and they may in fact be a $20+ cigar…

he's gonna feel some pain when his credit card payment comes due...but we've seen worse...

is it us, or do most cultures find entertainment watching the idiots among them?

I mean, reality TV is popular for a reason...

true...true...

Hey there. I'm new to this site and just here to try to find singles and five packs to try because there isn't a great variety where I live. Is there an average winning bid you all have seen compared to MSRP? Like, do winning bids usually go at 50% of MSRP, 75%, or over MSRP? Does it depend on what the lot is? I don't want to overbid - just want to realistic bids.

Thanks

Hard to say how much under MSRP (if under MSRP) you will get. Depends on the lot and the lot of idjuts bidding on it.

My suggestion is to use the Lot Watch function. Add the stuff you are interested in, watch them, get an idea of what they're going for. Lot Watch is your friend.

I go for what I’d pay on a good sale. I win or try again. I usually go for stuff I know I like though

Funky,easy peezy way is check what ceegars you are interested in
the CI (Cigars International) on line or their catalog . Watch the bids and bid accordingly to save the percentage off their catalog prices. Your best bet is bidding on Free Fall auction. Just remember be patient and watch out for the lowest price and bid for it. Other auctions run for days and usually some IDIOT will out bid you. Good luck and happy bidding.

There is really no scientific method for bidding that works well. I spent 2 weeks bidding not long ago and won nothing. Comparison to prices or MSRP will vary, so it's best to know what you want and what you can buy it for elsewhere. Right now bids on the auctions are crazy and sniping in the last minute is heavy.

Hey Funky, I posted a link to a freefall tracker a while back, but I’m too lazy to find it.
On FF, just remember the “drop” amount is always the same.
So you want to watch for the lowest start amount.
Just watch one lot for 5-10 cycles, and you’ll get the hang of it.
