BOTL Courtesy

[King Kill 33]

Question, while I was surfing the auctioneer site today I noticed a BOTL whose handle I recognized, had the high bid on some Four Kicks. If it wasn't him, I would have bid on them. I did it out of BOTL courtesy knowing I'd get at them a week from now or whenever. Thinking about this, I changed my screen name to KK33 so you all would recognize me. Does everyone use their same screen name as on here for those sites? I am also assuming that we would all back off in this similar instance.

I would do this as well. Still learning some of the handles though, so if I've ever bumped anyone, sorry!

I use the same handle on all cigar related sites. I often look for familiar handles on other sites. Haven't come across anyone yet but I'm sure I will.

 

[Hoshneer]

Yep +1 I use my same name as well. A little courtesy goes a long way.

 

[Carpenter69]

Same screen name everywhere. I'd back off if it was someone I knew.

Couple years ago a good friend of mine swooped in at the very last second and stole a lighter I really wanted right out from under me ...then bombed me with it a week later!

Other than in that kind of situation, yeah I'll back off if I know the guy.

I know a few years ago a lot of us were on cigar bid a lot..........

So we worked out some system so BOTL folks would know who it was. I can't recall now what we did, but I just stay off there.......to much money spent.

Nothing, just looking. Need is a strong word...

Absolutely! If I recognize a brother, I always leave his bid alone. With that said, it will take some time before I recognize the folks here.

On my previous board (Cbid), my name did not match what I bid under on other sites. Now I'm Argus17 here, and where I bid.

 

[BrittS88]

:crying::crying:know how I know Im a N00b? Im not on any other sites.... but this does sound like the correct thing to do.

 

[GoingPostal]

Yep same handle though I've spent way too much money there so i don't go there as much

OK just looking......want? I'm fairly sure knowing your size of choice when it comes to cigars hell everyone on here does. Lol guess I need to go plunder thru the stacks and boxes to see what has your name on them then

 

[King Kill 33]

I can't remember if it was the corona gorda or the Lonsdale. My size? Haha, what the hell..

Now I need to check my bidding handles, great post

^^^^^^ this right here!

i use BS names on the bid sites... I don't need people knowing what I am bidding on, cuz it turns into cannon fodder right-quick.

at the same time, i always give a brother the right of way if I recognize the name (sometimes the name escapes me though, and a bid without intending to swoop-in on a brother).

 

[Lipher]

F that, I win the auction...... Then bomb the brother part of whatever it was for!

If I was fortunate enough to actually spot a brother on one of the auction sites, this is what I would do as well. But these days, I tend to stay far far away from those devil sites, too much money spent.

I'm pretty bad about figuring who's who by bidding initials/handles, so I don't really pay much attention. If I do recognize someone, I'd certainly steer clear. I do, however, note if the bidder is from APO/FPO and will generally avoid those.
