Folks will pay whatever they want to get the cigars they want, regardless if it's an overbid or over MSRP.
Why should it be the sellers responsibility to oversee/control what a person spends?
I've been banned from a couple sites for complaining about the mods dictating what the prices should be, as well as folks phishing for the best trade/highest price.
The State sin tax on tobacco varies, so for some it may be worth it.
No matter what you pay, there will always be a better price elsewhere. Just enjoy your purchase.

Besides, I heard Cbid offers Opus X's at a loss so keep on bidding!

No, that is not what I was saying; that's your interpretation. Even when people gamble at casinos or bet on the lottery, they are warned that if they have a gambling problem, there is treatment available. Not that any of them take the advice. And, he may be stupid as some posters have suggested. He may be senile. There are all sorts of possibilities. I am just saying it would be nice of C-bid that, when they see someone seriously overbidding, to alert him to the fact. 🤔

So what your saying is cbid should help someone with the ability to search for better prices save money, when cbid is in the bidness of making money?

Walking away from this smh

I find it funny that no one has mentioned the obvious. Two auctions, one 25% higher than the other. The lower one offered every other week.

Pray tell; just what is the difference between an auction and gambling?A person can get just as "involved" with an auction as a game of poker. A man may have a good hand in poker and still lose. The consistent winners in Poker and most forms of gambling are the ones who know when to back off. Likewiswe, in an auction, the "winners" are the ones who know when NOT to increase their bid. And, like gambling, there are those who NEVER know when to bow out. [frypan]
