Oh no somebody is starting this thread again. No I'm not here to cry.

I was thinking about this over the weekend, I can't remember why(senior moment). Bless all those idiots who overbid here for they allow the rest of us knowledgeable people to an ocassionally good deal.

I don't know what their profit margin is, CI, but they manage to keep Cigarbid running despite cigars and merchandise selling for less than it could be had anywhere.

Checking the price of most items is a pretty rudimentary operation, but some items like e.g. The sun grown sampler pack (actually pretty good for the price I've been winning them at) require an eduacated guess.

This rules out the overbidders as it was not there fault they lack a basic education. It was hard to fit all the kids from the trailer park into that one trailer for schooling. Having to rotate the tires on your house monthly also cuts into homework time.

You don't leave the tires on a trailer house! It is not supposed to bounce around. You put it on blocks and use skirts to cover the blocks and stuff. I guess your family was not educated enough to use a level or since the law was after Daddy you had to move a lot.

Double-wides RULE!

Next time I bid I will call you and ask permission!

I have found that when you leave the tires on, it starts ta rockin at times, and then you have to get one of those stupid signs telling people not to come-a-knockin

I did a diferent overbid. I bid on 4 different lighters. I figured, since they all went way higher than my max bid last week, that I would maybe get one. But probably not since I bid cheap on them. I just came back from a week vacation and found I am the proud owner of 4 new lighters!!

Why can't I get that lucky on stogies??

I just wish I would mess up and underbid and win a $5 box of Fuentes. Sorry, I forgot the thread was about fishing.

Klacto...He must be a vender cause he has the same type of bid, all 5, for closing the 22nd.

I got one of these sometime ago, not as cheap as "Mr. Mean" of course, and it is alright for keeping on table or desk but I thought it was a little too heavy for carrying around...69
