Bid sites scare me! I just go to retail sites and see who's cheapest. Also spend a few bucks regularly at the local b&m just to show respect for their hard work. Still, if I were going to use one, I'd do my homework first! Better to find out who will have a particular cigar in stock/on order and wait for it than pay way too much!

Just login in and use the auto bid feature!

I took a screen shot of an alert and put it on my buddy's computer. It took him a bit to figure out why he couldn't click the okay button.

cigarmonster.com is doing a mega mash-up right now and they have the NUB ashtray for $20.

Just a heads up.

Yep, pretty much why I rarely bother logging on to see what I can score. Although I have been watching for Towers for the last four or so months and can never win because some tool bags bid the things up past the point where your no longer getting a deal or they just do the buy it now price which is usually the same as just logging on to CI and ordering it outright. I guess if it weren't for the guys paying retail or more than retail the auction sites would have been pulled down a long time ago.
