Twice I have placed bids on quickie lots when there was only one bidder playing the game with a bid in place. Their bid is either straight or auto bid. When I place my bid the original bid disappears. This gives me the impression the bidding is rigged by CI. The bidding by CI establishing a rigged minimum price.

This is not legal if this is not establised in the bidding rules.

Cigarbid does not have the right to post rigged bids to establish a high floor price.

Putting on my flak jacket, steel pot and hunkering down!!!

I`m also looking for a Bunker.

Wow! Presuming that a bid that "disappears" is the result of bid-rigging by CBid is a huge leap. I hope you have something more than your suspicion to back-up your assertion. SteveR is going to "love" this one!

Gathering Kevlar, filling sandbags as we speak.

Hoo boy.

William Kern was my high school algebra teacher many moons ago.

He's probably dead too.

Just ribbing you a little, bill.

Yes, rigged bidding can happen, BUT DOES IT?

Quien sabe.

All in all, over the years, I've saved more here than I've ever been hurt.

Stuff happens. Kick back. Smoke a good one. Enjoy.

Woah...

Most people are usually happy when they outbid someone else.

Screw the kevlar, I'm gonna go buy a tank.

REF #2: "steel pot" ... showing my age

Now he shows up.

Sorry but this is silly...

Yup, it's all a big conspiracy. Don't bid here anymore...Yeah, that's the ticket!

I'll be happy to get another box of cigars for less than 1/2 price or a bundle of 20 cigars for $1.00 (Oliveros El Padrino Edicion Italiana).

With all you new folks lurking around and bidding, I haven't been so lucky lately.

;)

So, everytime that I had a winning bid and saved anywhere from 20% to 50% or more off MSRP (or even CI prices) I was forced to the higher bid by the Swedes? I mean, it can't just be on you, right? Gotta effect everyone.

WoW! I think I will stop saving money and overbid. That'll show'em!

Resisting...the...urge...to...comment.

Return to the forum without rigging a bid or over bidding.

Are you an attorney?

Maybe it t'was, maybe it t'weren't. You can't fight it, so bid on something else you like and try to win that. Muddle through. This ain't rocket science.

You're right! All the bids are rigged! I'm glad somebody finally had the balls to call them on it.

This is the last straw!

IT'S BUSHES FAULT! INVADE SWEDEN!
