Its all over

Yep, I joined Cbid.......

I know some of the deals arn't that good but its just too much fun. Plus why not bid on 5ers that are only a couple bucks. Anyone that is not on there stay far far away.

I'll let you know when my car is up for sale

Col. Kurtz · 06-11-2009, 10:37 PM

Yup, good deals sometimes. Hard not to get carried away...

Been there done that , my friend. I got out while the gettin' was good. Good luck finding deals and keeping money in your account.

I was barley able to break the habbit. I still look for deals there, but have not ordered anything from CBid in over six months.

The Devil site ships to me weekly. Not big orders. I'm smart and i'm a cheap bastard. I won't bid unless it's a smokin good deal. Anyone who will pay for something from CBid that is anywhere near the price of a B&M is not taking advantage of the utility of CBid, IMPO. Shipping costs alone can make a winning bid cost more than a local B&M. I won't bid on something if it's any more than about 75% the cost of retail. My goal is no more than 50% though. They are out there, ya just gotta be patient.

And i'm a sniper. Yeah I know. It aint real cool but it is what it is. You go there for deals, not to make friends.

I have a newbie question - apologies if this was in a stickie and I missed it, I've been trying to go through those first.

So ... what is a B&M?

Brick & Mortar. A term for a store front. As opposed to an online company.

Luckily I don't enjoy auctions so the devil site has never gotten its hooks into me.

I can relate. Although I don't like snipers

. I don't have access at night when the auctions close and so snipers tend to shoot ME.

I've found that the autobid feature is your friend. Decide how much you would spend, and then autobid that amount and don't check it until the auction is over.

That is the ONLY way I have been able to use it. Also, ignore those e-mails they send you saying you've been outbid. You already decided how much you were going to spend so just bid next time that cigar comes up. They all come around again and again.

They don't send me emails telling me I've been outbid. I must have clicked the right button when I signed up.

I had to give up on CBID. I'm just too competitive to get any good deals.

Don't forget to use chimp

Remember that a lot of the same cigars are offered continuously. So be patient and wait for a great deal. Be sure to watch the merchandise section too. I've gotten lots of great gifts for cigar smoking friends really cheap. There are some good reviews and photos in the forum section.
Just beware that if you're looking at work, there are some girly pics there. Not nude, but probably NSFW, or appropriate anyway.

Better head to the WalMart for some big plastic tubs, you're gonna need 'em.
