I overbid because I can, plus it is fun to watch all of the babies come here whining about losing to me.

Cigars taste better when you pay more than CI prices.

The great cbid meltdown of 2017 also had an effect on the shill bidding program.......so it goes over from time to time.
Should be fixed in a month or so.

When I first started bidding here, I made that mistake once... "Holy Crap! I can get these gurkhas for $6 apiece? THEY SELL THEM FOR $9 EACH AT THE STORE!!!"

After that, I learned CI and CB are basically the same place, and always crosschecked my pricing to make sure I'm not paying more than half.

I don't lose auctions because I'm a winner.

I'll pay more than retail just to make sure you scrubs lose and don't get any of the good stuff.

Oh ya, Gurkhas are trash, nobody should bid on those, if you paid more than $2 a piece for them, you overpaid (seriously).

Losing a bid is a sign of weakness.

I hadn't noticed and this is the first time I've heard of it. I just checked, you aren't kidding. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

If you bid more than retail they send more to make up the difference.

I definitely crosscheck and stay under CI pricing. My rule is not to go over the CI price, all in. That way, Im always getting a deal. Don't always win my bids, but I always win, hooah?

But that assumes mother ship pricing is accurate to begin with which certainly isn't true

I overbid mostly because my wife hates it when we have to much cash laying around the house cluttering the place up, she says it gets underfoot and tracked all over the house and she has to dust it and try to keep it arranged neatly................So, mostly I do it for her, it keeps her happy and "Happy wife Happy life" 🤥
