Lately it has been terrible on the cbid.

Why would people use a auction type site to pay more than just ordering it? Maybe just the thrill of out bidding someone.....dunno.

This frustrates me to no end. I always check a couple of my go-to sites to see what I can get something for on a regular basis and if I cant get it on cbid for significantly less, I dont even bother. It seems that people see that its an auction and automatically think they are getting the best deal (that or they see what cbid lists as the msrp for an item and still think they're getting a good deal). Oh well.

YEP! I have screamed the following at my computer a few times; "good god man! WTF? Just right click the mouse and choose "search with Google" or copy and paste in to a couple of the better online sites."

Wouldn't let it get to you guys. If it weren't for the overbids, CI'd have no reason to keep it running and allow some of us to steal a cigar every now and then.
