Where oh where has Sloppy McNubble gone? He is an enigma! No one knows who he is. His CI CigarBid Historical Time Series Database has not been updated since April. Perhaps CI is no longer allowing him to scrape their prices. I presume he did this for himself but he has quite a following. There are two other plugins for Google Chrome you should use. The one for the History is not supported by the current Chrome because it does not come from Google Play site. You have to reinstall it everytime you use it. I don't use the Freefall one because the bid prices are better but here it is.
Please come back 'ol Sloppy and fix your database. We love you!

NOTICE: This software is ALPHA. It may suck. It probably does suck. But it works for me well enough, so here you go.
Announcing the Chrome Extension to get CigarBid price history on the CigarBid page. No more hunting for prices. It's now at your fingertips right away.
To install:
1) You must use Chrome. Sorry FF users. CHROME RULES!
2) Download this file.
3) Open your extensions page (
chrome://chrome/extensions/).
4) Drag the file onto that page. I would upload this to the Chrome Store for easy install, but this is an /r/cigars EXCLUSIVE.
If you have issues with Chrome saying "Extensions, apps, and user scripts can only be added from the Chrome Web Store", follow this guide
Now when you visit an auction, you should see the CigarBid history graph and some price guidance above the auction.
Let me know what you think, and anything we can do to improve. Hope this helps save you some MOOLAH.
Hi all, relatively new here and have enjoyed the info thus far. I had the same problem so I thought I'd chime in as to how I've been using the plugin. Each time chrome starts, it does this new check and disables the extension, so what I do is goto Tools - Extensions. Delete the extension, and then reinstall it from the file on my desktop by dragging it into the same window where i just deleted it. It asks me if i want to install it, i click yes. It works continuously until the browser is restarted, so as long as I leave Chrome open it will work (even if the laptop goes into sleep mode). But once Chrome is closed and restarted, needs to be deleted/reinstalled using the same process above. Hope this helps! Enjoy...
