CI's "Make Me An Offer"
 
Anyone have experience using CI's make me an offer? I was just wondering what kind of discount to expect and what kind of offers they will accept.

Just wondering if anyone is getting a deal. Thanks

I've scored a couple times on MMAO.

I've won while usually offering half price.
Won 2 10 packs of RP Sun Grown Toro's, on 2 different occassions for an offer of $30.00.
Also won a 10er of Sol Subano SUmatra's for $19.00

Seems half of the suggested retail for an offer has worked in my limited experience


:D

Found this to be hit or miss. Start low, then go up a bit. Also good to double-check what the item sells for normally. You CAN get some decent deals here.

:tpd: I have tried about 50% two times with no success...just depends on how bad they need to move it I guess. Good thing is it never hurts to try :tu

I've gotten a couple of great deals on there, but like others are saying it's hit and miss.

I've found I can get much better deals on everything that is in the MMAO on the devil site. For the price of a quick buy on the devil site I've been denied more than once on MMAO.

Just something to look at before your next offer

I have purchased a couple of lots from here, but these were only for items that were not on CBid. I felt that I did get a few nice deals but nothing spectacular.

Just picked up a couple of bundles on this. Saved a few bucks but nothing outstanding. Then again, a few bucks is a few bucks.

I just offered 18 bucks for a box of Cusano C10 (10 pk) and was shot down as "cold". No surprise there, but the MSRP was only $60, so I thought it was worth a shot.

Never won any on make offer, but I'm cheap.

like others said it is totally hit or mis.I offer half and they usually turn me down. I have been trying 2 figure what discount they are giving but I don't think they know. I offered the same price another site had a box on sale for and they told me it was cold. Then for something else I offered what I paid at the devil site and was again told it was cold.

I just picked up a 10pk of Tat Havana VI for 40 and another 10 of RP Sun Grown for 30. All in all I think they are pretty solid deals.
