I see this all the time, wonder if anyone really ends up paying.I was cruising cbid after dinner yesterday and had to do a double take, someone is in for a rude awakening when they open their “You’ve Won” email.

Who knows, these pop up all the time now lol.Funny they're $275 on CI right now, did they show the next highest bid? Just wondering what number he entered incorrectly?
My guess is the 3, I hope they have a decent customer service departmentFunny they're $275 on CI right now, did they show the next highest bid? Just wondering what number he entered incorrectly?

To move cigars that aren't selling fast enough on their own? CI wants to sell cigars, cbid helps them sell more cigars...Is it me or do people not understand the purpose of cbid??
I meant why do people get into bidding wars for cigars that are readily available!! I get cbid what there purpose is.. however I don’t get why people bid so high or so close to retail on cbidsTo move cigars that aren't selling fast enough on their own?

I haven't been on cbid in quite a while but if what they're selling is what you want to buy, you can save some $ vs buying from the CI site sometimes - not a bad deal, as long as you pay attention and/or stay off it when you're drinking, lol
I've always assumed, not paying attention, competitiveness, drinking..I meant why do people get into bidding wars for cigars that are readily available!! I get cbid what there purpose is.. however I don’t get why people bid so high or so close to retail on cbids
Sure you can. Find something you want, pop on once or twice a week and bid a low max bid, and walk away. It may take a bit of time, but not really that much if you do it like I do, and you can get stuff at great prices if you don’t get caught up in bidding wars or impulse buys.You can't be on Cbid if you have a full time job and kids and/or a wife that demand a normal amount of attention.
This. I check it out two or three times a week to grab some boxes of cheaper sticks like Oliva Vs and Undercrowns, but only if they’re at least 40% below msrp.Sure you can.
