Hello new to the site:

Example
https://www.cigarbid.com...te-maduro-toro/3804135/

It says Rocky Patel.....
Units available: 250 (how does this work?)
123 winners

Do they just sell 250 of these on auction or is it top bidders?

Thanks in advance.

It’s top bidders. That auction had 15 hours left. Whoever has the top bid when the timer runs out wins.

Bid on as many units as you want.

The 250 is basically how many units in stock.

Maybe. Some of the bidders may be bidding on more than one quantity. If 25 people each bid and won ten items each, there would be none left for a new auction (presuming CBid had no more to auction). Usually there are new auctions of the same things a short time (hours, days weeks, centuries) after the auction closes.

Remember, losing an auction is a sign of weakness and we are all watching.

I hear that once you get Platinum membership status, you get a weekly report of the worst losers so you can ridicule them and bet against them aggressively in the auctions.

If the auction is for a Ricky pastel product, I assure you there are no winners...

If people have bid on only 123 lots, then there are only 123 winning bids. The rest will go down as unsold, and probably held for the next auction in a few days.

I don't remember ever seeing a lot where some of the items were not bid on and won, except for items that have a minimum bid. The auction of 250 lots with 123 winners most likely had every lot bid on and won. It is not unusual to see bidders winning 10 or 20 lots each, so it is not unusual to see all the lots ordered won.
