About a week and a half ago, a bunch of stuff was put on the auction block a little earlier than CBid wanted them to. I bid on a box of Gurkha, and the next day it was "Preview".....that is all I know.
We had an error that caused lots to open on the wrong date. We closed them up, but in fairness to those who'd seen them and already bid, we were able to keep those bids in place. It appears that this was in the BOX category only. Shoot [email protected] an email if you have specific questions.

Sorry I missed your question. Lots are shown as "Preview" from midnight to the time they actually open. You can look at them prior to that, but bidding only starts when the lots open.
