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.

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.

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

In before this thread becomes irrelevant.


I guess I'm way late for that one.

I got some good deals today on C-Bid.

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

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...

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?

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

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.

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

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.
