FYI: Though all are welcome to join this beta test, we will not be shipping internationally once the site goes live.
Have fun!!

I just sent off my email. Hope it makes the trip this time instead of getting bounced back. Thanks for the invitation to participate.
I would like to try it again unfortunately last time I was away for those hours you needed folks.
Regards,
Mark

Maybe I didn't get in then. I was trying to go to the site, but it's too early I guess.

You can try but if you miss you better be ready to duck!
FYI to all current players..
We're giving you another 100 bids to play..
Go nuts!!
we bidding against each other :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Just burned that 100!
not so sure I like having to buy bids when on other sites you can just bid

It looks like it's similar to those penny bid sites. You buys bids, but hopefully get your item for crazy cheap. Never tried one. You could get a great deal, or spend a lot fo money for nothin'.

Almost correct... You buy bids and play.. If you lose, you get a second chance to buy the item (if more in stock) at regular FSS price. If not in stock, you'll be offered other comparable products to purchase.
In other words, there will be no losers.
As these are free test bids, I am more liberal than I would have been if I had purchased them. So is everyone else on the site so it is difficult to win anything - especially that Mammoth Ivory Cutter!

I burned 125 bids on that sucker and still lost! Won 5 other auctions today though. I'm hoping that those great guys over at Famous decide to reward our efforts by letting us keep the goods at the price we won them for!!! C'mon Gary!! :dancing:

Nice try.. The answer is no..
Incidentally, the 'second chance' offer can be purchased with the bids you used for the auction you lost.

Great idea Bruce! I'll take the Opus X Opus22 that I won for $1.00
Ya the site is interesting but with each click worth 60 cents and how fast you blow through them and especially with the second chance well I hope you have a deep pocket and a fast connection. See you bid and still lose and the site wins no matter what you blew out a big batch of dollars. Ouch.

I'm with you, there's got to be better ways out there for a poor cheap fella such as myself... :confused:
I think the Cigar Sniper is a great idea.
It seems to be geared to young people -- almost a computer game genre -- which is great.
I find myself hoping it will draw a lot of people to it and away from the Cigar Monster auction site :shades:
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!
Congrats to NES Tek!! You won the raffle for last week's Sniper test!
You'll be contacted separately by email to claim that awesome Romeo sampler.
Thanks for everyone who participated. We'll be running an Open Beta Test for the rest of the world this Friday, October 21st @10AM ET thru Monday, October 24th @ 6PM ET. Once again, those who participate and fill out the survey will receive additional bids that will apply to their 'real' account when the site finally goes live. (There will be no raffle for this next test.)
If you have any questions, please email betatest@cigarsniper.com
Hope to see you all there!!
Humberto
