I've been posting off and on since 2006, and I just now get harassed about an intro thread?

Bottom line is, bid. If you happen to win and the guilt becomes overwhelming, then send them to the troops.
I suppose I should clarify what I was doing. I was cruising cigarbid, hoping to snipe a few good deals just before they closed. This was a 5 pack that the winning bid was a dollar. I'm all about free enterprise, blah blah blah.... but if there's a Marine (or a solider) out there who is wanting to buy his own cigars and it looks like he's going to get a good deal, I just didn't want to be the one jacking up the price. Yes the guy could somehow be scamming and truly is sitting in San Diego relaxing, but since these weren't sticks I went out of my way to find I wasn't to concerned about it. I'm not saying that no one should bid against someone in the military, I have decided that I won't in most situations. Was curious what others would do.
