You mean I don't have to check "that" site every 5 minutes? I could actually do something else?

[cigarz]

The home pages says:

CigarBid.com is unavailable in order to perform necessary system maintenance.

No one does system maintenance in the middle of a business day, they crashed.

Well, if the site crashed, I'd say that's necessary maintenance. :r

Assuming you're being serious, Jeff: cbid (http://www.cigarbid.com). It's CI's auction site.

[htown]

Once again what's Cbid...?

cigarbid.com- an online auction site for cigars and accessories.

Wait, what? What is cbid? I've never heard of it.

Yeah I'm joking around a little, I've heard of the auction site, never signed up or spent more than 5 minutes there.

[pektel]

Me neither. I hear it's the cigar smoker's equivalent of crack. Try it once, and you're hooked.

You can get some good deals. You just have to know your prices, and watch out for the morons who don't and bid stuff up over retail.

It's back up now, Scott.

[Adriftpanda]

I have never ordered any ncs online but there is something on there right now that I really want... AF BTL, I only have a couple left :(

[pektel]

That's the barber pole shaped like a WOA right?

EDIT: nvm. I went there to take a look for myself.

[Darrell]

Yes.

[Texan in Mexico]

It's like Facebook for Cigars right?

Considering I am currently seasoning a 100 ct Humidor I got on there for 15 bucks... yeah, it is kind of like crack.

[pektel]

Ooooh... I'm actually in the market for a new desktop humi. Do I dare?

I just got off the phone with Gonz, their IT director, and he said it was some nincompoop in the bay area named Mogg who tried to force an exploit to buy up all the Cremosa Cubas at sub-listed pricing but instead just crashed the database.

[marge796]

Funny stuff!!!

The thread title reminds me of a Seinfeld episode: "Jimmy's DOWN!!"

Damn, there goes the economy. next number out will be consumer spending drops 10% on failure of c-bid website

I just bid on my first item...

[pektel]

lol. I'm in the market for a new desktop humi (100+ count instead of the 20 ct one).

I will admit that I did browse around a little too. But it's actually a nice safeguard that they only accept credit cards, and not payypall. I only pay cash for consumables.

I can honestly say that I have never - never - bit on anything on c-bid. I know there are people who curse this site, call it evil, and whatnot, but I have never seen anything there that too my monetary eyes was ever a big enough bargain to bid on.

I watch for sales and get better deals.

[pektel]

and just won my first auction. 100 capacity cu avana intenso humi. for 36 bucks. Now to order some shilala beads.

[dwoodward]

Nice grab Pektel :tu

So True!

[neoflex]

I stopped using C-Bid for Cigar purchases. They only get me for the occasional purchase of what they call merchandise. I have been watching towers very closely lately but most of the time people bump them up so high that I could order it direct from another vendor for a few bucks more. Not enough savings for me to get excited and jump on it. Now Cigar Auctioneer is a different story. If you watch the smokes you like and pay close attention every once in awhile you can practically steal some of the boxes. This is part of the reason why I am filled to full capacity box wise and have broken my old rule of making no online purchases in the summertime.

[Starscream]

In before this thread becomes irrelevant.

:lv
I guess I'm way late for that one.

I got some good deals today on C-Bid.:tu

Oh crap, I didn't even know about that one! D@MN you! I'll never have any money left over now...

Nothing special. Just a fiver of 1970 Antanos and a bundle of Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet 2nds.

[MarkinAZ]

Of interest, currently up for bid is a box of La Perla Habana Black Pearl robusto' which two individuals have current bids of $40 each.

On CI, you can order these for $39.95 each...

[Starscream]

Question:
If I use the Buy it Now option at CBID, do I still have to wait until the auction closes before it is shipped?

[MarkinAZ]

You'll probably have to check your shipping preference Andy. You can either check once per week (Thursday only) or daily (Mon - Fri)...

[Starscream]

I have it set for once a week. The reason I asked the question is that even though I hit quick buy, it still shows as an open bid (b/c it's one of 3 in that lot). The auction doesn't close until the 8th.

[Chingas]

Question:

The quick answer is YES. They don't ship until the auction is over even tho you already secured your purchase!:td

[Garbandz]

I have noticed the Quick Buy does not affect the auction items offered.Sometimes you see more items sold on Quick Buy than the original auction.
The auction sites provide a chance to order smokes you might not be able to get locally,and sometimes a lower price.I still deal with my local shop to insure IT stays in business,because I enjoy getting together with friends and my local shop makes that possible.
On a few occasions I have gotten sticks from the auction sites that clearly should NOT have made it past Quality Control at the factory where they were made.I also feel the auction sites should have stopped them from going out.However, when I brought it to the attention of the sites they made good for them.

I agree on this last point. I've had several cracked wrappers and one whole fiver that looked like it had been stepped on. However, when I called them and mentioned it, they immediately made good as well, even adding in a couple extras.

You can still find things using Quick Buy at a cheaper price than CI normally sells it for. I saved $10 bucks using Quick Buy at CBID rather than purchasing the same item at CI.
