Call to C-bid customer service:

"Hi, I'd like to check the status of a lot I won. I haven't received shipping notification yet. The lot number is ______ ."

"Let me check. <muzak> Sir, it looks like those are on backorder."

"Let me see if I understand. (C-bid) put up for auction a box of cigars you don't even have?"

"Well, sometimes an item runs out of stock..."

"On a single-box auction?? Well, can you tell me when I can expect them to be in and shipped to me?"

"Let me check. <muzak> Sir, there is no date in the system. It looks like it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks."

"You gotta be kidding me! I bid on and win a lot, and you tell me I might have to wait two months for them to get to me?"

---etc---

So now it seems that c-bid puts up for auction cigars they don't have in stock. Has anyone else ever had that happen?

In any event, it looks like my c-bid days are over.
