CigarBid Question....

[FranK]

If they SAY they have only 5 or 6 items in a lot and I do a QuickBuy on one of them then that should reduce the available number by one. But what if it is a REALLY good deal. Are you telling me with all the people interested in the savings on this particular lot, that they only have 5 or 6? Is this just a teaser number or did I answer my own question?

[FranK]

Shit; I'll bet it's quantity available PER CUSTOMER!!!!!!!

[Mangyrat]

I see the same thing happen a lot.

I believe they have more than advertised. I've seen a auction end and then they'll put up an identical auction for the same thing the very next day. Also,I think the bids tend to go higher for a lower qty. product.

I saw some Gurkha Centurians go for $25 per bundle of 6 at the BuyNow price. That is one incredible price for REAL Centurians !!!

Ok man, step away from the cbid.

It's like a purdy gurl......if ya just wait a minute, another one will come along....


As you can see, there will be a similar bid to the one you are involved in, coming along in a day or two. So, do yourself a favor and bid once. Otherwise, you will pay too much and feel like a fool when tomorrow the same cigar could be bought for less.

Ok man, step away from the cbid.

But some of the prices......I NEED to go there, I NEED what they have to offer!!!! You just don't understand. No one understands.

Look around at other retailers. cbid is far from god and wait until you unwittingly purchase 1 of their "exclusive" brands that used to be a nationally distributed cigar and it damn near makes you puke you will see beyond the cheap shine of Shittyblends International

"hi, my name is frank, and I'm a cigarbid.com-aholic."
"hi, frank."

You can get through this!
Someone needs to come up with 12 steps for us!

I looked around the web at what others had to say about the site and MOST but not all were satisfied. Some of those deals, from my semi-newbie point of view are pretty unbelievable. I just have to be careful to not get stung with any "exclusives".

Someone needs to come up with 12 steps for us!

1. We admitted we were powerless over Cigars—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to buy a cooler.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of humidors.
5. Admitted to Cbid, to ourselves, and to another retailer the exact nature of our wants.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make bomb them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we our humidors were full promptly purchased a new cooler.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to BOTLs, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Well, I guess this is as good a time as any.....Two hours ago I ordered the HAVANA FOOTLOCKER HUMIDOR. But I SWEAR I'm going to keep it out in the garage and I won't touch it during the week. My brother, the TRUE expert on all things CIGAR, still thinks I only have one humidor. Today he actually implied that I might have a problem because he and I have talked about stogies more than usual lately...........one day at a time.
