Its all over

The Devil site ships to me weekly. Not big orders. I'm smart and i'm a cheap bastard. I won't bid unless it's a smokin good deal. Anyone who will pay for something from CBid that is anywhere near the price of a B&M is not taking advantage of the utility of CBid, IMPO. Shipping costs alone can make a winning bid cost more than a local B&M. I won't bid on something if it's any more than about 75% the cost of retail. My goal is no more than 50% though. They are out there, ya just gotta be patient.

And i'm a sniper. Yeah I know. It aint real cool but it is what it is. You go there for deals, not to make friends.

I have a newbie question - apologies if this was in a stickie and I missed it, I've been trying to go through those first.

So ... what is a B&M?

Brick & Mortar. A term for a store front. As opposed to an online company.
