... anyone else having trouble tonight with trying to increase your bids to get more of 1 item in an auction???

... I just tried MANY times to 'snipe' an auction and it wouldn't let me because I already had a winning bid for 1 of the 2 items for sale ...

... even did what it said and tried to "edit" my bids to increase the amount ... but nothing worked and the damn auction just ended !!!!

I don't think you can edit anything in the last hour of the auction.

That just does not make sense.

What were you trying to get?

... I was trying to increase my minimum bid(s) on these so that I could grab them both:

http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=761675 

... but it would not let me increase my bid because I already had a winning bid on one of them ...

... the "site" told me to "edit" my bid to increase it ... I have done that in the past to with the whole lot, like these two auctions just the other day:

http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=759305 

and

http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=759235 

... sooooooooo ... why in the hell could I not increase my bid for this last auction ???

... pretty much, I've done it for all of the Opus X Cigars lately ... bid ... then have to increase my bid - but "edit" if I still have a "winning bid" on at least one of them ...

... I was ****-sniped !!!! or snipe-blocked ... whatever you want to call it ...

^ ... some of us don't have locals to go for cigars ... and seriously ... it IS an auction site ...

... if anyone wants to cry about being outbid ... so what ... they can either bid higher or smoke a cheaper cigar ...

... and I'm still irritated that I could not increase my bid to grab both of them ...

Jimmy,

relax, just ribbing ya.... although that does seem a little pricey... I think I paid in the low $20's last time I bought one of those... and that was at a local Athletic Club, their prices are always pretty good to members...but its been awhile ... I still have a bunch of X's some well aged....

Topper ... I'm just pinging on Tony (Neo) for jumping in ... not in the least riled up over the prices or overbidding or the ribbings ...

... I'm just irritated that I could not increase my bid before the auction closed ... doesn't make any sense for there not to be a way for that to happen ...

I now stay away for that feature now as I tried to use it on a "special" deal and it did raise my bid but also put like 150 bids in front of mine... live and learn..

^ ... lol... yea, that can bite you in the azz on lots where there a bunch available ... I've done that before as well on some humidification sticks that I use for my travel humi ... it raised everyones bids (including my own) and just for the sake of getting 2 additional sticks ... well, it cost me like $25 or so for that stupid move ...
