CBid needs to mix up the names of their bid bots. This "BK" bids on just about every lighter put up for auction. And it's not just peanuts bids hoping to catch something falling through the cracks. I miss the old days when the bots had different names.

So what do you all think BK stands for?

Bid King
Base Kost
Big Kahuna

I think someone did the research and confirmed him as an EBay re-seller. ram27bat

It'd be a real shame if his orders were delayed a couple of months.

Yup, you are correct.

Why? Because its good for cbid. If it were not, I believe they would put a limit on the number of lots that a single bidder can control. JMO.

I don't care. It's 'Murcia. But if he's buying that many lighters, why not buy wholesale? Seems it'd be easier.

You typically have to jump through some hoops to open an account with a wholesaler. Some might require that you have a B&M storefront, credit references, tax ID#, etc. etc. If you can purchase here at or near wholesale price it makes things much simpler. No minimum orders, case lots, bla bla blah.

I was hoping his eBay name was going to be something like "CigarBidz" or "CigarBid1". Then the conspiracy theories could REALLY fly.

I spotted him last night- he's up to $ 7 bids on digi hygros and sells them for about twice that on ebay. How low can he go- he even sells socks.

Well he and the other one from Hinsdale NH probably helped clear out all the excess Sons of Anarchy inventory. Not sure how the SOA pewter ashtray resale business is going since the show went off the air, but maybe when a prequel series comes out these guys are sitting on an EBay goldmine.

Ya know... as a 20 year veteran, it really fucking pisses me off when people can't show enough respect to say or spell out America. It is not 'Murica... and that is derogatory to me.

I'm sure you don't care, but I do.

It isn't faux outrage. I'm not demanding anything from anyone or asking anyone to change their thoughts, ways, or speech. All I did was express my displeasure at what I perceive as disrespect for a country to which I gave 20 years of my life.

The End.

No protest. No hunger strike. Said what was on my mind. Done.
