Pa,
Do you guys like the new C-bid Layout?
I have only been on it a couple of times since it has changed (I don't want to accidentally bid on something) but the quickies section is now only auctioning cigars in sections alphabetically. Today it is A-D. I don't like this.

The new free fall section seems cool but I don't know if I have the time to sit around and see how low the prices will fall.

What are some of the new features/layout that you like?
What don't you like?

Right now I'm boycotting them for sending me broken cigars too many times (most recently a box of Tatuaje La Verite that I was super excited to win). The forum seems better now to me, though--no longer in the '90s.

I am still a cbid addict altho I have been much more selective in my bidding.
I am still trying to get used to the changes they made.
It is still a bit glitchy, sometimes the freefall timer doesnt count down and you have to refresh the browser, minor annoyance but really annoying if you have multiple items open trying to figure out how low they are all going.
I absolutely hate the way they are doing the daily quicky sales, numbered items and letter A,B,C monday, DEFG on Tuesday and so on........
Was much better with a little of everything each day.

edit: Apparently they fixed the quickies
Have to give it some more time I guess, its not like the bargains arent going to be there anymore.

Are they going to replace them? I'd be pissed too if any of my cigars came cracked, especially higher end smokes like that.

How many other times has it happened to you?

I am not a fan of the new layout. Free fall may be ok, but they usually only have a few and not of anything I am looking for. I ahve yet to bid on anything yet in this format.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment/create a poll on this :laugh:. I'm not a fan of the new layout. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the old layout. I may change my mind once I get used to it, but I have a hard time finding things. Before it was easy. Free Fall is cool in theory, but I'll probably never use it :dunno:.

Been off the C-bid for about a year now. Never looking back.

By the way, C-Bid ADDICTS are never comfortable with change.

I like it I like the new search filter I hated going threw the whole list to see the box or 5er deals. now if i want a 5er deal its easy to find same with the box deals. I am not sure about the free fall who wants to watch a clock that long to save what 10 bucks maybe 20 even my time is worth more then that.

I have not been there or used it in over a year. They don't seem to offer much of what I smoke.

I haven't used C-bid in over two years now. Hunting and waiting for deals on there seems like a waste of time. Plus most of the stuff is CI exclusive that they hock on their sites.

I only go there occasionally and haven't won more than a handful of auctions to date, so I am still kind of up in the air about it. The free fall looks interesting, but I'm not sure yet how good a deal it is.
