Re: Why CigarSniper is NOT a scam
 

How is it determined what is comparable? And will multiple comparable items be offered to pick from, or just one? As I hope you realize, what one person thinks is comparable might not be what the next person thinks is comparable.

My pleasure! :salute:

Comparisons are offered using several variables. I'm not sure how the algorithms are configured but the models we've used so far are pretty spot on. Currently, there are three options to choose from should the original lot be unavailable for losing bidders. I'm sure users won't be disappointed. If so, I'm just as sure we'll hear about it and repair it in short order.

Perhaps change the word "comparable" to "anything at our site"?

Thanks Humberto. I think with the three options to pick from, then most should be able to find something acceptable.

Well IMHO, I take the opinion of the forum and it's individuals with serious consideration and yet still try to use some of my own opinion and logic too. It seems like this
Cigarsn!p@r thing at first glance seem/appears like it could be a way to get some stix at great price but after reviewing the math it is not so. So thanks to those that math inclined folks that pointed it out. If you like the gambling/game thing it may be ok, I do not but maybe others do.
BTW I hate the sound effects also.

It's just like that quick bids thing. Total rip off

Re: CigarSniper Beta is open to all this weekend
 

You guys should really read through the whole thread before passing judgement. Homberto has done a great job of attempting to explain things and being quite patient.

You buy bids.
Bid on lots.
If you win, you might get a good deal.
If you lose, you can still purchase the item with nothing lost but time, and
you still had fun. If there are no more in stock, a choice of three
comparable items will be available.

The bottom line is that Famous will win by selling bids, profitting on auctions wins, and selling product for their regular, already decent prices, to those who lose an auction item, but are still willing to pay for the item. Either way, Famous wins.

The bidders really only lose if they bid on many items, hoping to win them all, and then don't apply their bids toward the regular purchase of the item when they lose. Just don't be that person, which is obviously easier said than done.

That's how I see it. Just my :2, not that I'll actually be using the site. I'm the guy who will bid on everything, so I probably shouldn't play. Famous has always been a great place to buy from, IMO, and their CS is outstanding. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I checked out out this evening, interesting concept. Looks like you need to be either patient or determined. Anything in the middle could be expensive.
