FOH AUCTIONS DISCUSSION THREAD

[Diabolicalpherpher]

I had an overbid dollar amount before submission but the site updated with another bid and automatically placed the next minimum bid which was below what I wanted to bid. That kinda sucks.

Similar experiences as above. Frustrating.

We're gonna need a bigger server.....

Congratulations. 

I know you guys have put in a lot of work to make this happen. 

It's going to be great.

Something I would love:

Pagination controls at the top as well as the bottom (especially for mobile) so I can go to the page I want without having to scrooollll to the bottom of the page I *don't* want first.

If you select “recently listed” instead of “ending soon” from the drop down list at the top of the page, I think you will get the result you are looking for.

It’s between sessions so may not be a big deal? Remember me doesn’t work as well as I’d expect is all.

But in general? Very impressed with this rollout. It’s a game changer in the cigar world.

Now, to win an auction...

[Kwenk]

I think the auctions are great, access to aged items and the confidence in seller, combined with a generally pretty solid platform makes it easy to try and spend money like I have it!

I would also say I can’t wait until the July changes to help with sniping. On one auction, I was outbid in last five minutes I think by 7 people, a few just seconds apart at the very end, on a box I would have paid way more for if I could have just put in my top bid and let the auto bid do it for me. Not a complaint really (maybe a little sour grapes because I wanted those Montes), but know you will be taking much more of my money in the future when you get the auto bid working.

[Markspring1978]

Mega kudos to whoever scored that ‘09 cab of 50 Regios yesterday. I wanted to bid on it but had company over last night. Looking forward to the auto bid upgrade in a couple months so I don’t miss out on lots like this one. In this man’s very subjective and humble opinion, that was the best buy since the auctions have commenced. Given a choice of Four 50 cabs of SLR or one box of 10 Behikes? I know where I’d park my coin.

Apologies for pulling two auctions today. 

The title listed was unnecessarily unclear.  They will be relisted today.

I'm a sad panda, I was looking forward to one of those.

Apologies panda 

One relisted up tomorrow and one on Monday

I noticed that the RASS had been bid up to $550 or there abouts and thought wow, a three year old PE box of rass has doubled in price. But now it’s back to ~$400. If we ‘accidentally’  place a wrong bid because of fat fingers, is there recourse?

From the FAQ:

Can I retract a bid?

• If an incorrect amount has been lodged, contact us as soon as possible. If it does not interfere with the smooth running of the auction, we may consider retracting the bid to the winning bid amount at that point. Bids cannot otherwise be retracted.

Partagas E2 says 2011 on the subject but the code is listed as 2013. 

[BuckeyeSmoker]

I haven't been around for a while, but this is awesome and happy to be back online to see this!

[alloy]

Just a question. How long does it take between winning a bid and receiving the box?

[Bucky McSwensen]

Is there a way to browse all past auctions or is it limited to just the recent ones?

[Buck14]

Go to Advanced Search and change radio button to ALL AUCTIONS - you will get EVERYTHING 

[Bucky McSwensen]

@Buck14 my man!

If that's the worst he's ever done we'll see to it he gets a pass!
