Its all over

Have not used the site in about a year now. I got stuck on the CC slope and with limited funds I tend to save up to buying something else.

I will say Cbid is dangerous cause it combines cigars and the competitive nature of winning. When I was using Cbid there were many times I ordered cigars I did not need or even want because it was a deal. Damn now I feel like perusing the site.

My thoughts exactly. So much so, that I looked yesterday for a while. Now, I have wone two small lots and am winning 4 or 5 more. I kind of hope I get outbid! Oh well, damn you all for this thread!

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.

I like C-bid. I've won several lots and got everyone for less than catalog prices. It gives me a chance to try varieties I'd never pay catalog prices for. I can see how it could become addictive though.

I've already listed my future first and second born child on ebay thanks to that site

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.

Man, I spent hours and hours on Cbid when I first started. Nowadays, I rarely get on there.

I prefer to my trading and purchasing from fellow BOTL's!

Yes as if some of the deals BOTLs post up on here isn't bad enough. I had to be good since i am moving out and I only won 4 of the 10 lots i bid on. But the 4 did enough damage.

I know the feeling. There is never enough money for cigar purchases!!

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?

OK, makes sense, thanks for that!
