Well said Famous.
Also, in defense of Famous, we need to realize that they are, after all, a business, not some sort of philanthropic organization. Businesses operate to make money. They are offering an in demand product, and If someone wants to pay top dollar for that product, they may do so. I'm sure that anyone here who has sold something by auction was hoping to sell for the highest price possible-that's the nature of the game. Additionally, there really are some fantastic deals to be had by Famous' auctions.
FYI-I have zero relationship to any cigar retailer. I just have a tendency to try to look at situations from all angles.
