I'm really going to miss Thompson's Auctions.

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.

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/endingsoon/2069144/?s=Price_Desc&f_CategoryName.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...

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?

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.

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.

I recall hearing the Fake Opus stories and other accusations, but never heard what the outcome was?

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?

Those are the guys I need to sell my car to ...

Me: $3000 or best offer

Them: Will you take $5000?

I haven't been on the Devil's Site since Hector was a pup, but sure shit I ended up bidding and 'won' a five pack of cigars. I do love this cigar so no problem. Steve turned me on to this great stick a few years ago at Christmas.....
