Doesn't sound like its a problem for cbid. In fact, just the opposite.

Ha! You may be correct. I just imagine they let these people off the hook when they call and complain. Maybe that is not what is happening.

Except it seems to be that they let people off the hook - at least the first time they make such a mistake. That takes time, effort, adjusting the accounting and then relisting, all for nada.

Not for nada... i bet 7 out of 10 people who make the mistake never call cs to have it corrected...

2 things pay the bills here:

1. deceptive marketing practices like pictures of boxes representing single cigar auctions and using old cigar ratings for clearly inferior reblends

2. Charging ridiculous prices for shipping and then using a low cost, inferior shipping method

geez. Tried to get a box of MF The Judge and got outbid. Found something in a better site at a much better price. People are crazy.

I wonder how much of the high bids here are drunk buying. It is becoming a national problem with men spending an average of $ 528 a year on drunk buying and most of the bidding here closes after dinner.

I tried to pick up a box of Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduros, wound up being outbid. I went to 75 dollars, but I think the final bid was 200+

received my golden email yesterday with free coupons. Only problem is coupon expired last week. the good news is the email shows prices good through end of March 2018. A first for me, now to the bidding along with all the free stuff.

They let me change free stuff from natural to my favorite, maduro, robusto. and sent box of Padron maduro 3000. Think this is my 25th year to being a member, so patience is beneficial.

Congratulations me and Good job me.

You boys will get the freebies when due.

I sure do, who wants to spend over 3.50 a cigar on daily cigars? Definitely not me, or anyone who has a sense of thriftiness about them.

Interestingly, when I view that auction, Cbid tells me this is a "related lot" :-&

Hmm, I definitely over bid on one item last week, but then someone outbid me on it. I was trying to snag a fiver of La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amors Reserva So I set my price at 35 tops. Someone spent 38 dollars to snag 4 packs of them.

So I snagged some Camacho Triple Maduros at 22 dollars per fiver instead.

Saw fiver today in two different locations here and there was a ten dollar bid difference. One was that much more than the other. Don't guess some look.

i'm new to the site, but i've found that if you click in the box that you would put your max bid in, on some laptop where you are using the touch pad over a mouse, if you drag your finger up and down the laptop reacts as if you are using the scroll on a mouse. its used to scroll down through a webpage without repeatedly hitting the down arrow.

anyways, if you click in a bid box and then accidentally try to scroll down the page it will actually auto increase or decrease your bid. there were times i saw the bid rapidly rising and i wasn't sure why until i realized it was the scroll pad. it would be incredibly easy to put a max bid in, and then try to scroll down the page and not realize you just added two hundred bucks to your bid
