It seems like the bidding on C-bids has escalated recently.
Items I was picking up a few months ago are now costing more to win.

Is this because the Yankees up North are coming out of hibernation from a hard winter and now starting to spend more time outside enjoying a good smoke and demand is up?

Anyone ever notice in past years bid prices rising in the spring & summer?
Do I need to stack deeper in the winter months when bid prices are down?

Well I know it wasn't brutal or anything but I'm sure people spend a lot less time outdoors.
Like I said just wondering why the bidding has gotten a lot more competitive recently and the only thing I could attribute it to was a higher demand in the warmer months.
Maybe not.

I doubt it.  Most of the folks I know stock up all year.

I have noticed some items being more. I just wait till I find a good deal. Got plenty to hold me over.

I've found cbid prices usually go up every spring and down every fall.

That confirms my suspicions.
I've seen boxes selling for double the price I was buying them for a month or so ago.
It's easy to see why demand would be up this time of year with backyard BBQs and outdoor activities picking up.
