Any one else notice that the price is no longer dropping automatically? You need to hit "refresh" to see the price drop.

Anyway... back to the first couple of questions... 😕

Does the Free Fall happen automatically before your eyes? Or, do you have to hit refresh, or reload, to see the next decrement?

I watched some today... and they moved, right before my eyes and got to a point and reset.

Watched the Camachos and Oliva G or O or whichever

I thought to win free fall auctions you had to jump up high and bid on the way down.....

I would buy free fall auction sticks if what was offered was a familiar smoke (part of my " regular" rotation) that I am looking to purchase anyway. I would then only bite if the price would drop enough for me to consider a good value. This I'd know, having purchased said cigar frequently in the past. I haven't pulled the trigger on any free fall auctions, but, I do lurk from time to time. I just haven't seen the dealio for me.
