I don't get it. I just checked out the 5 Vegas special to see how many have been sold (302) and I noticed that some have bid more than the $25 minimum. One guy bought 4 boxes for $30 each. WHY? Why would you want to bid that high when you can cover yourself with autobid? Like I said, I don't get it. Can anyone explain this to me?

Hey Fez... Welcome to the forum... overbidding has been discussed here several times, but to make it short, there are some people out there that over bid and help CI's profit margins. So let them overbid!!
However, some people mean to put thier bids on auto bid and hit the wrong button and accidentally put the wrong bid in, I did it the second time I bid on a lot. I think you can now edit your bids, so we will see if the overbidder corrects his error!

P.S. Regarding your question, Am I stupid?

The answer... You did take the time to count the number of boxes, didn't you!?!

Just kidding!

Hey Fez... people bid higher than you can buy the smokes on 20 different internet sites without the hassle of an auction... As I said before, this just ruins the whole concept for the consumer and profits the seller.. I just dont get it.. not knowledgeable
buyers I guess..
