What to expect from CIgarBIDding?

[spiffykyle]

Singles on CBid just aren't worth it to me. The ones that go for normal prices I can find at my B&M and not pay shipping. The hard to find ones go for well above retail and if I worked at it, I could probably find them for retail. There are exceptions, but I just stay away from singles on CBid all together.

I go there to find a box at a great price, or to get a 5'er of something new. A lot of times cigars will show up on CBid before they are available from CI.

Lately I've been stopping myself from even looking at the site since I don't need to buy any more cigars at the moment.

That makes sense, spiffy. I thought there may be a quality problem. Your observation about pricing on premium labels seems accurate to me - not only on singles, but on packs and boxes. If you look around, there are often better overall deals (like free shipping, bonus cigars, free stuff, etc.)

*sigh* Cbid... I should probably put a block on that domain.

Good answer, though. Thanks again.

Agree with once per week shipping. Gets you reduced shipping on multiple listings.

i always combine my winnings to one shipping

[Jonjonmacky]

but by doing that... what are you doing? I mean.. is that just so you dont get packages every other day, or is it a shipping $ thing? I mean, would you only select that cause you bid on things as such high volumes?

[mithril]

its both

lately i've had high volumes, but its mostly a money thing

CBid has a shipping savings program. They charge less if you win multiple items and ship them together once a week.
