Cigar Bid - Page 19

One of the best pieces of advice I got on here regarding Cigar Bid is... Don't get caught up in a bidding war, what you want will almost always come around again in a few days... So far that has rung so true for me.

Best advice ever, some of these people drop money on it without first doing their homework. Why pay retail price + shipping (or worse, even more) when you could do the same thing at a retailer?? Better yet, I think some sites offer free shipping depending on dollar amount....the item will eventually come around again so definitely don't get caught up in a bidding war! Like the OpusX...dunno why people pay $20+ on a single stick when you can get them for less than that with shipping

Anyone else having problems with five pack damage? They recently went to packing five packs firmly on greenish cardboard and I have had numerous cigars with bent and broken caps and feet. Anyone else? I emailed them and they said they would make note of it with no offer of replacement.

But, I don't want to pay for something that isn't good, or over pay for something.

So, currently I have no issues with the devil site, because I am to afraid to bid on anything for fear of getting jipped. You all might save me money by not responding.

Try Thompson's.

What I do...If I am interested in something I highlight product key words, right click, use "search with Google", open it in another window and start checking prices.Keep cbid shipping in mind, set a price on a item and don't go over on it!!! That item will come up again and again and again.(most of the time)
There's times to bid and times to wait you will learn with time.

on cbid, I check cigars intl, they are who runs it.. Make sure you pay no more than what cigarintl sells for. I also compare to famous smokes..

Use places you normally buy from online.. Never hurts to 'shop' around.

I use C-bid And Cigarauctioneer.com--- I e-mailed cigarauctioneer 3 weeks in a row to delay my shippment till I had "enough" to justify the shipping --they did it no problem--- Im sure c-bid would do the same

This next order is going to put a good dent in my wallet, but I'm like an anxious little kid waiting for it.

Let's see.....
- stinky ashtray $10
- 4 or 5 different shirts from $2-$4
- 5 camo hats for $1 a piece
- tatuaje havana vi 5 packs for $13 a piece

I typically just throw in a bunch of low ball bids the day the auction is listed and don't look at it again until I get a notice that I won or was outbid. I never up a bid. Took me about 6 weeks to win the checklist shirt i wanted for example but I wasn't going to chase the bid over $4.

Some pretty good deals can be had on free fall as well. I get my Pepin blacks, RP sun grown, and some tatuaje nobles using the free fall listings.
