THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

This is INSANE:

Particularly, when you consider that they're $64-72 on top few google hits. Let'em bid them up - especially on stuff I don't want. There's still plenty to be stolen on auctions.

I've witnessed this on several items lately. I've seen morons bid things up $1.00 over what I see as retail at the B&M and that's not including my locker member discount.

Yes, there's still deals but they're getting scarcer as these idgits take over the bidding.

A box of these at my local B&M is 69.00 plus tax.

It gets worse the closer we get to Christmas. Too many people buying for someone else that have NO idea how to do a google search! That's over and above those bidders that just get caught up in "auction fever"!

I mean it says MSRP, which you hardly ever pay online anyways.. Why would you go over that price???

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

I think it's just a bid frenzy and you get so into it that you kind of lose sight that there ARE other sites that carry sticks for lower. I rarely shop on any of the auction sites anymore because the deals aren't that great. .02

It's not just cigars. I wanted to buy some PC parts off e-bay and watched the price for used stuff skyrocket over what anyone could purchase brand new parts for off of NewEgg. Just insane.....

Not sure what it is.

I paid under 200 bucks for a box of dpg maduros and dpg blues a few weeks ago. Not each, but for the two of them, shipped. It works good for me. :D

I think there are two reasons why people bid senseless:
1) uneducated bidding
2) price isn't an issue

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

3) The thrill of competition
4) ego

I've only used auction cost site twice I think.. 2nd time was just two days ago.

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

And this is what they eventually sold for. Dumba$$es!

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

It's not like they can accidentally pay too much. If you overbid the retail, an alert window pops up asking you if that's what you want to do and even links you to their retail site where you can buy them.

OK, now it DOES fall into the category of stupidity!!!

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

Really? I never heard about that one.
These smokes I bought were the first in over three years I've bought at the devil site, I was boycotting them. I needed both so I gave it a shot and saved money, now I'm boycotting them some more.

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
 

I wanted a nub ash tray and bid over what they were selling it for on their site and an alert came up letting me know and asking if I wanted to continue.
