Anyone else notice a significant price jump in the last 6 months or so? The first 2 months I was on here I spent over $200/mo on cigars and merch. But I search all the stuff that I bought previously, and now it goes considerably higher. I used to be able to get some good name 5-packs for $15 or less (H. Upmann 1844 churchill, Carlos Torano 50 year robusto, Perdomo Champagne, Rocky Patel Royal Vintage 6 x 60, CAO Brazilia Chargo). The big one was Don Pepin and friends sampler: purchased 2 (separate occasions) for $25. Can't get less than $35 now (same price as CI). Makes me feel that CI or Cbid personnel is manually upping the bids. Or just has there been that many more people that have found this site? I haven't order a single thing in almost 3 months now.

Well DUH!! genius..........you figured that out quicker than most n00bs, gotta give you that.
In fact, La Princessa does that on her lunch break for kicks.............she looks at n00b bids, and then under her secret phony account, she ups bids and laughs about it while smoking a PAM!

I haven't order a single thing in almost 3 months now.

Losing a bid is a sigh of weakness...........I'm sure you've heard that before.
What you don't know is this:
If you go ahead and bid high on a few items, and win them at that high price, La Princessa will take note of that, and you'll earn a few points toward your Platinum Plus Membership.

Us Platinum Plus Members never have our bids artificially increased.
