[quote=jskaldskal]Why do people over bid on items that you they can buy directly from CI for a cheaper price? Ex. the fall spook spectacular sampler has 2 bids at $85.00 each, they can buy it outright from CI for $79.95. I'm sure CI loves these guys but I don't get it, maybe I'm the stupid one.](*,) [/quote]
welcome.....
don't listen to these clowns......
99% of the "overbidders" are most likely Platinum Plus Members.
Thus, their bids (if over the CI normal price) are automatically reduced by 50% at the close of the auction.
Just call Customer Service, ask for Trish, and she'll explain the details on how to get the membership.
I think it's like $100, and then you have to order $50/month after that, or something like that........
