It finally showed up but doesn't appear to work in Firefox. I'm trying IE now but it took a long time to get to the site.

Yeah, slow as houses. Can't get a last second bid to register in time to have it show up.

I won a Fuente Fuente OpusX Opus 22 Forbidden X Lancero for .06 and a La Flor Dominicana Diadema Duo 2 Pack I didn't bid on so I guess I got it for free!  :biggrin:

I couldn't log on.  Very slow.  I guess this is why they beta test.

Not much though. Seems like you have to bid a minute before it registers. Can't sneak in and snag the bid away.

Was curious how it went, sounds like a couple of beetles need to get worked out.

Lots of bugs. They're gonna do another Beta Test on the 14th. I spent all my money but I did get some terrific fake deals! Look at this one:

Attention, Ken, aka kkelley!
You've successfully out-sniped the competition, and won:

 Fuente Fuente OpusX Opus22 5th Anniversary Edition

Your Price:
$0.11 You Save:
$949.89
 
WOW! I wish it was true!  :biggrin:

Wound up winning 9 auctions but most of them were due to the timing of my bids matching up with the buggy site and netting me the deal. It was kind of fun but I can see how it might be dangerous in the for real world.

Same for me.  I tried to log in four times.  I finally gave up about 4:30PM EDT when the web site was closed again (under maintenance page was up).

Disappointing, but I'm more disappointed that I was prevented from bidding on something and denied entry into the raffle for the RyJ sampler  :sad:

I'll try to make it next Friday ... unfortunately for us (good for them) there'll be a TON more people there so, whikle I do hope for the best, the probability is high that the site will remain slow and funky for that, as well.

Ya, this concept is new for cigars, but the penny auction sites have been around for a while.  

My wife "worked" one of those penny bid auction sites for nearly three months to "pounce" on a 46" leading edge technology $1800 flat screen TV and won it for $176.  Takes a lot of patience and lots of work, but worth it, if you know what you're doing.  Fortunately for her (us) most people who try it cannot grasp the concept or the process -- so those with the know how can walk away with some unbelieveable deals  :rolleyes:

May be a little complicated for me.  I will wait to see how the "real" version will work.

Crap, I really sorry I miss out on your test. Im not used to working 1st shift. I got home at 3 rest my head for a quick sec. Next thing I knew it was 8:30 at night.
But I really liked the name "Wish Stealer". It had a Native American ring to it. -Brlesq

A wise geek once told me that moving up from a daily smoke to a weekly or even bi-monthly smoke would be worth it, if I could learn how to appreciate a really really good cigar. -southernrun
