    im gunna have to stay up late some night when nobody is around so that i can let it get very low and then get a seriously awesome deal.
  • KingoftheCoveKingoftheCove Posts: 937 ✭✭✭
    I just sent an email (actually about a hour ago) to the Beard, and dared him and Alex to put some Fuente Short Storys and Best Sellers on there

    Keep in mind that there seems to be a maximum/minimum price that they 'sprint away' at...not necessarily sold for though....great idea to try the crazy hours...let us know how that works...I am off to bed!

    That LPH Classic Collection just went for $32...you can buy it on C.com for $29.95! I've seen this happen on several items already!

    That will happen a lot if you don't know your prices.
  • Of course, there's guys like me who are waiting for a stupid cheap deal and will miss everything (like those Man'O'War rubostos, grumble grumble...)
  • KingoftheCoveKingoftheCove Posts: 937 ✭✭✭
    Lost my "cigarsprintsale" virginity..........now I can go to bed.................MoW Robustos............very good deal.....best I've ever seen

    I know it does, I've done quite a bit of auctions and I've seen some really stupid stuff...it just always tears me up to see people throw away money like that. It seems that this site isn't immune to the same crap. People will see a price that's less than the 'suggested' retail price and think "what a deal, I gotta have that!"

    Exactly why I said it takes some work (for me at least) but you can find the real gems in a hurry - some of the pros here have it in their head I'm sure. But, and I'm so glad I'm on a Mac - because Expose was made just for this kind of scenario - I have 5 web sites open, my excel spreadsheet, launcher, and my email, and I whip thru them all like nothing

    Thats marketing at its best! I'm sure the plan is to make a decent profit, however a little research on our behalf makes for some great deals! Plus the free shipping is awesome, so even if you pay close to ccom normal price you still save $6

    This is why I don't even bid at the devil site anymore. Too many dummies! They drive the prices too high. The last 3 things I bid on ended up showing up on free-fall and of course it closed a few hours before the auction did and folks drove the prices $10+ more than the free-fall price. Even everyday stuff is going for more than the sales prices, unbelievable sometimes. I only use free-fall now and I'm sure we will see this happen with the sprint site once those same folks migrate over here. They are in it more for the win than getting a good deal, seems foolish but hey, it's their money. What can ya do?

    I'm on an iPhone, and I have 5 pages open...I can check prices and compare before the sale ends! Sadly, I have most of the prices in my head on the stuff I'm interested in, so it's not that bad for me. Heck, if someone pays more than retail on the sprint I ain't gonna cry none at all...the more money c.com makes here, the better deals we can get from The Beard! I would not say that of most companies..,

    +1...but even with the idiots bidding things up you can still snag a good deal price wise and I am sure we will be able to do the same here should they migrate to here. The only thing working for us is they have to sleep at some point during the day.

    LOL, good point! We have a little advantage here on the west coast, then again we should! We buy the most! The free-fall prices even drop slightly lower at night. They changed it up a bit and the price fall is in aggregate according to previous sales vs. duration. I noticed this last time and was able to snag some La Aurora preferidos maduros for $27 bucks a 5-ver. There is still deals to be had if your diligent. I also wont bid til the last 10 seconds and go about two levels higher, you can snag some killer deals on lots like that. I do like this cigar sprint though but it would be even better if they had multiple offers going, the same set-up but whack-a-deal style kinda (if that makes sense).
