Ummmmmm....one of those idiots was me. It was my first bid, I misunderstood something on the rules on autobid and...uh oh!! I know the price on cigars (been smoking 17 years) and would never have done this. When the price climbed into the stratosphere the next day (nice to see someone dumber than me) I called customer service to explain what happened. I spoke with Steve - a fine gentleman. I was fully prepared to "eat" my mistake, since the rules clearly say a bid is final and cannot be withdrawn. I talked to Steve, and let's just say we came to a "business arrangement" which was suitable to both CBid and myself. Thank you Steve - I am a happy customer, and I just got my first delivery today. Looking forward to bidding here again and again and again.....
One thing I did notice (after only being here a short time): people in the high tobacco tax states (NY,NJ,CT,CA,GA and others) are willing to bid a lot higher than anyone else, it seems. So, what seems high to us in the no tax states may not be so to them, but you have to wonder if they are researching prices.
