Lots of activity on the site right now.. But there's room for much more.. Come on in!! Have some fun!! It's FREE!!

www.cigarsniper.com

Great!  You open the doors to the masses and the site freezes up! :mad:

Remember... this is a Beta test... Developers are fixing every problem they see as they happen.

Keep trying..

OK, Humberto, its all working again.  

So where can click to just shoot Griesemer, Alphairon and NESTek and simply take out the competition?   :confused:  :biggrin:

We're working on a thermo-nuclear device for a future version sometime before the Mayan Apocalypse.

Perfect timing! You better hurry up Bruce. Since I haven't done a damn thing around the house this week, My wife may beat you to it.

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!

The second chance is awesome!

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.

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:
