Bidding on cigars?

What is the deal with sites that let you bid on cigars? Seriously are people just dumb? I have been watching a certain website that does this and the prices are ridiculous. People are bidding, winning, and paying more for this stuff then they would if they just looked around the internet.
Am I missing the big picture? I have always looked for the best deals and these are not them. I think bidding causes that excitement that causes people to try to win and whatever cost.

I use other sites and CCOM for my purchases of things that I want and KNOW I want.
I use the bid place to just throw a cheap bid out there for something that I KNOW I would smoke and if I get great, if not, I'll place another measly bid.
I was only kidding, I too use other sites as well as my B&M!
Please bring us your torch ...bad renni bad renni...:(
Seriously though... It's quite funny . Ima let you guys have my "torch" ...
But even so, for customer service and when I know exactly what I want....I still shop here.
I'm commenting on this so as not to create a new thread. This will help all of us new guys on the forum that are checking out the bidding websites. This is specific to the Freefall on cigarbid.com because you can calculate the lowest price and bid on it every time.
The “drop” (the amount the price drops from its starting point to the reset) is the SAME, every time - UNLESS someone clicks Buy BEFORE the reset at which point it will reset again.
The Starting price is what changes each time, which in turn changes the reset.
The amount that a particular item drops depends on the item. Crappy cigars will drop quite a bit, better ones less.
So, note your item’s start price... let’s say $77.45
Note the reset... let’s say $51.45.
Now you know the drop will be $26.
Now all you have to watch is the start price... using the example above, if it starts at 79.66... you’re not interested.
If it starts at $71.20... that is one you’ll want to jot down as a potential lowest start price, which will translate to the lowest reset.
You need to watch at least 10 or more to be sure you’ll find the lowest price.

Cigars are great and so is this
https://www.chickynugs.com, this site tracks the low price for you, saves a little time.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Badass, thank you sir!
