Hahaha! Almost 2x retail. What a deal!
There's got to be more to it. I can see some dullard over-bidding something but two in a row for almost the same price? There must be a reason for it.
Now I'm tempeted to be the third dumbass. And that MSRP is complete bs, I buy them at around $3 a piece from my local B&M.Quote:

I love idiot bids like that. It's an ebb and flow. They're the reason I can buy everything 50% off retail and CBid doesn't fold.
Here's a Padron going for $10 more than Thompson's singles price: https://www.cigarbid.com/shop/ending...me.raw=Singles
I think they make most of their money on singles, TBH. I frequently see Altadis trash going for $8-10 when you can get them on Cigars International for $4-5 dollars a stick. Here's a Cain Nub for $11...

I like your point of view, it just hurts my brain.Quote:

Years ago on Ebay I bought alot of paintball equip. I found s 1 person who would always outbid me but only from 1 particular vendor. I would not be shocked if Cbid had a few accts used to drive up the price. Also am I remembering them getting caught selling fake opus?
I've always wondered that, but it wouldn't make sense to pass the 80% of msrp mark.Quote:

Ah yes, the "Shill Bidder". I remember those days too and even caught someone in the act. Of course I also remember Bid Sniping, and yes, I even downloaded one of those programs - LOL.Quote:

When I see these, I often wonder if the bidder thought it was a five pack or something. I know it clearly states single, but it's the only way I can make sense of it. A guy strumming through several listings looking for a fiver of X, gets excited and hits bid before realizing its a single?Quote:
