Cigar Bid

People just get into pissing matches and like others said deals as of late are hard to find. I remember three, four years ago there were still pissing matches but you could still clean up more often than not.

I just find the cheapest price online for a box of X, then I bid 20% or so less, and leave it at that... I loose most, but win some...

Absolutely, people get caught up in bidding wars. Also, I think a lot of people confuse the MSRP on a lot with CI's regular price, and think they're getting a deal.
Quite often I find the best deals on the Quickies lots, probably because they're not open long enough for the prices to get jacked up.
At least cbid has standard shipping rates, unlike eBay where you can get raped. Case in point: a while ago I was checking out some Softspikes. I found a guy selling 3 of the blister packs for what you'd normally pay for 1. These would easily fit in a small PM box, but he wanted ~$15 for shipping.
