#1. WOW! You have just changed my life... no, literally, you have just changed my life. You MUST MUST MUST keep this up to date.

#2. Some lucky b*stard won 60 Omar Ortez Bellicosos for $88 in January! Honestly, what the **** was I doing that week??? How come I didn't know about Omar Ortez back then? Fess up! Which one of you b*stards did it! Which one!
 
My first winning bid came last night, 10 nub 358 habanos for $40. According to this site I lucked out! Woo!

This site is going to keep me at cbid.... way too much...
 
Thanks and good looking out. I know a lot of hard work went into this. I promise I will put it to good use...eventually.
 
Glad to see everybody seems to be enjoying it :tu

I just got done with the necessary tweaks to add a category dropdown... it seems to be working, but if you run into any problems, let me know.

It's tracking everything, even merchandise. If a box is 20 cigars, just choose the type, and choose 20 cigars. I guess technically if they sold 20 loose and 20 in a box, it doesn't differentiate, but it is tracking them.

Good idea though, I'll add a pull down so you can select only certain categories.

I revisited and everything makes sense now. Maybe I just goofed initially.

On a side note, you know you're a Cbid addict when you get an email notification that you won a bid......but you don't remember placing the bid. Happened this morning with the Don Lino Africa Gorda special auction......I remember looking at them and having an interest but not ever placing the bid (as it turns out, five days ago.) Yikes! But, I'll take it.....lot of ten for $29. :sl
 
Excellent idea man, I have a PDF with a good list of information from C-Bid auctions. If you want to take a look, shoot me a PM.
 
These are the stats for SPDM Quixote,Max: $52.00 Min: $37.00 Avg: $41.71 # Auctions: 7 but if you go to CI you can buy them for $35.00:confused:. I guess it shows how stupid people are.

I guess the eBay slogan is true: It's better when you win it!

Seriously, I haven't seen this happen too much on CBid. People may be be overbidding slightly in order to save on shipping costs if they've already won another item. You can't combine shipping on a CigarBid order and a CI order. So, if you've already won a CBid auction, you can save about $4-$5 on shipping if you pick up a 2nd box to go with it-- as opposed to buying the 2nd box on CI.

I've spent some time on JR Auctions. People bid up the price more than JR's "normal" price quite a lot. I've never figured it out, since JR shipping is a standard $2.50 per package.

Nice looking app, did you write a spider to crawl the site?

More or less.. I pull the pages locally, store them for safe keeping, then parse them and put all the useful information into a MySQL db.


I expect to have all of the 2007 data up in a couple of days, and hopefully 2006 data 4-5 days after that. :ss
 
Data from the 2007 auctions is now available.

When I get a chance I'll probably change the page to default to just look at the last 6 months, becase the graph's getting a little tight with 1.5 years of plot points.
 
I just grabbed a box of Fuente King B for 91 bucks, this definitely helps. Thanks a lot MG.

I have been using your database for several weeks now and my bids are stronger and last much longer and for some reason my wife is smiling more. :D

LOL, change one word and its the same thing that happened to me when I started to take this blue pill my Dr gave me. :tu Being stronger and lasting longer is the way to go!

I'll be using this program starting today!!! Hopefully after a couple weeks I also will notice some extra strength in my bids and hopefully they will last longer too.:D
