Have a look at this Special CI Legends Drew Estate Copper Lot #1017202.

Something seems wrong with this listing. The lot of 150 pieces opened with an opening bid of $27.50. There have been 30 bids and now the minimum bid is $33.50. How can the minimum go up with 114 pieces still left to bid on. And the bids already placed by people don't look right either. They're all over the place, just not how sensible people would bid, at least not on purpose.

Am I missing something or is there a major bug here?

that is weird. $33.50 isn't that good considering u dont even get a box. I got my box for $65 I think

Hahaha.... that's classic! Talk about jumping the bid... cannot buy a lot less than what the highest bid is!

Agreed. You can but a box from CI for $70.

But the bids don't even look right.

"Thanks for shopping with CigarBid! I understand your concerns. You are correct; normally the bid should remain at $27.50 until all 150 units have been bid on. However, someone came in and bid $33.50 and now everyone has to bid at the higher bid unfortunately. Please let me know if there is anything we can assist you with in the future! Have a great day!"

That being said.... There's also a few bids in there for $36.50. Why didn't that raise the minimum to $36.50?

I'm thinking it's a major problem with the max bid feature. Which I have experienced first hand.

Wow!.... and one bid for $48.50. Surely that has to be a mistake.

So now the minimum bid should be $48.50? Is that correct?

Something's really screwed up here.

Oh, they've known since 1:00 this afternoon:

(from customer service)

"I forwarded this along to IT and Management for them to look into. I apologize for any inconvenience."

(later, 2:52pm)

"I know, I noticed that too. I am not quite sure what is happening. Hopefully IT will have an answer soon. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Just haven't heard anything from IT yet.... and don't expect to. This isn't the first time. That's why I thought I'd post it. I'm wondering how often stuff like this happens.
