I've noted in recent months that there are occasionally bids for VERY large numbers of cigars on some auctions. IN one instance today, in which 50 5-Packs of a particular cigar were up for auction, one bidder bid for at least 41 of the 5-Packs.
That's very likely NOT for personal use, but for resale and profit.
Is there any restriction on Cigar Bid for such very large purchases?
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong about it, unless such bidding "drives up" the price of the cigars inordinately. Might this be someone attempting to do so?
Curious.

cant judge the intent by the bid - i have done similar when lots of a cigar i really like are available at a low price and i have the money to blow. i enjoy ageing cigars and have some boxes over 20 years old so have no issue winning them all and letting a bunch sit for years while i work through them. it also helps because i do some trading, box passes and such on here so always have stuff i am willing to throw in a box to someone.

^lolol

OP, please post a link to one of these auction so we can see what you are referring to.

Be a man and at least act like you have a spanner and don’t squat to pee…..


BID HIGH AND BRAG ABOUT IT!



Don’t cry about those more successful than you and make us think you let other borrow your dishwasher. At least post the lot….

I went through 10 PAGES of 5 packs and closest to 50 I saw was LGC series R, N or S I don’t care and it was 40 I believe but I didn’t see a winning bid over 6 units. Then there are a few listings of Buffalo Trace of 30 and 15 counts with FAR TOO many morons bidding for 10-12 units.

Listen pal, I tried to be nice. If you’re bidding on that crap you should be thankful not complaining. The largest count items I’ve seen here recently were LAdC Mi Amour 10 packs and even those got bid to prices that adding shipping wasn’t worth the risk of losing a bid so that I could avoid the laughter in the halls and the looks of doubt I’ve caught off with a perfect record of manly bidding.

Lolz. Jamie that was an awful lot of effort to make a point.

I glazed one and bbq’d it….

It could be someone who owns a convenience store, but unlikely.

Don’t assume they couldn’t be for personal use.
There’s guys here with 5,000 - 10,000+ cigars.
Buying a couple hundred of their favs is like you buying a fiver…

The Tabak Especial auction on 10 pack belicosos has about 3 hours to go and 1 bidder at $ 38 ea. is winning 50 packs, That's 500 cigars for $ 1900 or $ 3.80 a cigar.

Another auction ending in a little over 2 days for the same cigar in a 5 pack is currently at $ 3 a 5 pack. Biggest lot was 10 out of the 40 available and some of the winning bids are for $1.

Another lot of 50 is closing Saturday is currently bid to win at $2.50 and one bidder has a bid for 10-10 packs at $ 10 each.

I also saw at least one lot on free fall.

Interesting goings on. I wonder if this cigar wasn't selling and there was a lot of inventory so CBID may have bought them all and is pushing them out. There is another variety of the cigar also on the auction and it is getting better bids on smaller lots.

huh...not sure if there is a single cigar that I've smoked 280 of in my cigar smoking lifetime...

Thanks for the pertinent comments, TonyGraz. I'd also wondered if CigarBid wasn't perhaps a player in such situations.

Another 50 10 packs closing tonight- bid to win currently at $27 and the biggest number bid on by one was for 6. Freefall is also closing tonight with a reset coming at $ 44 and change. More coming after these.

Like I said... Lighten up.

We are just a bunch of 4th graders here who pay retail for Gurkhas, and brag about it.
LMFAO

Last night 3 more lots of 40,60 and 60 went up for fivers and tenskis. HOW MANY THOUSANDS DOES cbid HAVE ?

Wow. I wonder why they don’t just buy boxes. Probably because they are not offering them in large quantities. That would be 10 boxes I guess. Harder to win a lowball bid on that many boxes?
