OH My :( C-Bid why oh why

11-24-2009, 11:26 PM

Just stopped in c-bid to see what was happening (been almost a year since I was there) and an hour later I'm bidding on 10 lots

The first clue I was in trouble when I placed the first bid it told me the CC on file had expired and please renew it.

Should have taken that as a sign

I've been hearing about it from the wife a good bit lately too. lol Every Monday for the last 5 weeks, a big brown truck drops off a little brown box.... Usually smaller orders ($25-$40), wins I got by bidding really low figuring I couldn't get it for that. Now I have racked up about $100 on the current order.....that should go over really nice! So if I go missing......

Gee, guess somebody fell hard off the wagon

I am glad I don't have a credit card.

Isn't it fun when you lowball a few lots hoping one will stick, and they all do?

That's why they call it the devil's site.

duckmanco · 11-25-2009, 12:25 AM

gambling ain't got nothing on CBID IMO.

Been there done that. Will do it again no matter how hard I try not too. CBID=SATAN!

So far I've been "lucky" enough to have been outbid on every lot. It's only a matter of time before this devil takes a bite out of my CC.

Emjaysmash · 11-25-2009, 07:43 AM

Never joined CBID. Being in college is hard enough on my wallet!

I blocked the site through our content filter at work to keep me from accessing it.

I have browsed, but never joined. I plan on keeping it that way. Window shopping only for this internet warrior.

Yeah. I did that for a while. Now I'm a member and have a credit card on file. It's only a matter of time until I'm fully owned by that devil site.

Good luck to you.

Have been owned by this site for 2 years now and yes, it can "bite" your ass but when you think of what you save vs buying online or at B&M's you know why it's so popular. Yes, I scream and nearly feint when I get the bills but I have built my humidors up from 150 to well over a 1,000 cigars for probably half what it would cost me buying at other cigar places. It's like Vegas, if you can't afford to pay, don't play.

Blindjimme · 11-25-2009, 09:42 AM

Fortunately for me, I'm too impatient. C-bid and Ebay don't work for me.

Thats exactly why when I was spending what I was spending on cigars, box prices on CBID could/can be ridiculously low.... I have scored multiple boxes of Oliva G maduros for half price, and when the Sol Cubano CC were unknown, they were practically giving them away, same for LHC's.
