How come every time I want to buy a lighter or a cutter first gotta buy it from some a-hole who bought all 20 or all 40 of them 2 seconds after they become available? This goes for all merchandise items right up to humidors. Check out e-bay and amazon...they just undercut CI by a few bucks.

This is not really a big gripe of mine because I have purchased a lot of my stuff here on c-bid and I got it all at unbeatable prices even if I did have to pay a few bucks more than the guy who bought it all first.

I have been curious about this over the last year or so, and I wonder why c-bid/CI allow this practice.

They pretty much have everything that they have here except for the witty and insightful political discussions. You're welcome.

C-Bid could put a stop to the practice if they actually gave a squat but, apparently they do not. They have to know they are supporting a gray market on E-Bay and elsewhere that is in direct competition with them. I guess all they really care about is moving the merchandise and keeping the cash flow going. That may be the reason many of the auctions are for larger quantities as opposed to just one or two items. If you're quick enough to get your bid in ahead of the re-sellers and use auto bid to automatically increase your bid then they can actually help you to get the item at a lower cost by providing a cushion. Gotta be quick!

Not always resellers.

It's a bidding strategy. 20 lots, I'll throw a lowball for all of them, and get outbid on 18. Keeps my spot at my lowball price. Would've lost it had I only bid on one or two at that price. Its raising the bar behind you.

Never lose a bid, it's a sign of weakness.

It's all those rich guys taunting you, they don't even smoke the cigars they win here its sick. They sit there laughing smoking their Cuban cigars that they light with $100 bills.

I understand the strategy perfectly, junior, its not always re-sellers but it isn't difficult to figure out who they are. I'm not the one complaining about re-sellers, merely stating an opinion based on my observations. The OP asked a question and I gave a straight forward answer. I stand by what I said, read my post. Early bird gets th worm. I see you have 10,490 posts in three years, very prolific. One might think you have little else to do besides trolling the boards and talking down to people.
