Been noticing something here for the past few months. One week, an item will be on Free Fall, bottoming out at a really good price, with very few takers. Next week, the exact same item will go up on Special or Private auction for $10, $15, $20 more, and get 150 - 200 bidders. Just seems weird that folks would ignore a good deal on FF, and then climb all over themselves to pay more when it goes up on Special.

So, I'm curious. Who here uses FF, and if you don't, why?

Heck, I guess in hindsight, this could be an overbid thread. Deal with it!

When it works......sometimes.

a few times, but it hardly works and not many decent deals to be had.

Works for me although I don't buy much lately, but I do check it and see what is up and how far the prices go down on certain items.

Sometimes though the prices are sometimes worse (and sometimes much worse) than the auctions...

MFLBPR 5ver bottom at $25

Tat red robbie 5ver $20.27

And they change last week the same Red was $19.32. Go figure...

Yeah, I've used it on occasion also. I just make sure the amount it goes down to is as low or lower than the regular auctions. I look at it all the time though, to see what the prices are going for.

I'm not buying right now but will look for what deals are up. Nothing has caught my eye yet. Seems good deals come and go

.....OVER 50 lots to chose from?? 🤔 You would be cray not to use it. Getting 10 of the PADILLA MIAMI EDICION LIMITADA OSCURO 6x60 Perfecto for $37.51 is one awesome deal. Great cigar, bold mouth coating maduro flavor. Perfect draw and burn. I would bet mine was down to an inch before I finally snuffed the nub. And getting 10 JOYA DE NICARAGUA DARK COROJO for even less is awesome as well. These smokes with great flavor that most often close at $4 or more all the time can be gotten for almost a $1 cheaper. Ten 5 VEGAS CASK-STRENGTH for a little over $25 can't be beat. Not to mention the TATUAJE HAVANA VI, SAN CRISTOBAL, or DON PEPIN GARCIA SERIE JJ all for well under $5 per, a price no other retailer ever touches.

I use Free Fail. It can be somewhat time consuming to wait for the right price, but, some good deals to be had there from time to time. No overbidding snipers to deal with either. I like this option.

Occasionally, just got a Carbon Palio cutter that I always wanted... But in truth don't buy that many NC's anymore... Other than Tat's , EP Carillo , Perdomo ESV's and maybe some Illusione's I'm mostly relying on my Canadian Cousin for smokes nowadays.....well maybe add some Fuego's to that.....

What rah said, I got the same deal on the Cask Strength for $27.00 and that can't be beat. Got to shop it carefully though, and know from experience what the product normally sell for on Cbid.

used it once and got a good deal on some lighters. Was looking at it earlier they had 32 sig robbies for under $93 a box. Wish I had some xtra coin right now

what is this??? what the HELL is this??

what the FU is going on here????

TN bid on the pic, not the description?

I use free fall quite a bit. Good deals can be had with some patience. A lot of times the prices won't update automatically, so if there's an item I really want I'll just hit the refresh button to update the pricing. To justify the free fall pricing to me it needs to be low enought so that the item cost along with shipping charges are less than what I could typically get the item for with free shipping on Joe daily deal, jambalaya, or the cigar.com daily deal.

sparingly. only occasionally do prices fall far enough to be a good deal.
