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.

Yes, there's still deals but they're getting scarcer as these idgits take over the bidding. |
Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
A box of these at my local B&M is 69.00 plus tax.

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

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

Re: THIS is why you can't get a good deal anymore.
I think there are two reasons why people bid senseless:
1) uneducated bidding 2) price isn't an issue |

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. |

Bid sites scare me! I just go to retail sites and see who's cheapest. Also spend a few bucks regularly at the local b&m just to show respect for their hard work. Still, if I were going to use one, I'd do my homework first! Better to find out who will have a particular cigar in stock/on order and wait for it than pay way too much!

I took a screen shot of an alert and put it on my buddy's computer. It took him a bit to figure out why he couldn't click the okay button. |

Yep, pretty much why I rarely bother logging on to see what I can score. Although I have been watching for Towers for the last four or so months and can never win because some tool bags bid the things up past the point where your no longer getting a deal or they just do the buy it now price which is usually the same as just logging on to CI and ordering it outright. I guess if it weren't for the guys paying retail or more than retail the auction sites would have been pulled down a long time ago.
