System error.

Yep

Being unable to bid is a minor technical snafu with the site apparently; what would be a major snafu? Brian comes to your house and stabs you to death?

I can't bid

Along with many others apparently

I'm still getting intermittent errors and/or general site slowness

Same here. Says "Runtime Error". Cannot get past it.

Can we change the title of this thread to "REA Funk"?

I can't bid now either. If you consigned Tango Eggs or Hires Test you got screwed, I had a few more bids left. Oh well, more in the war chest for Heritage and LOTG.

I can view my bids, but not open an item's page to bid on it. Wait, now nothing works, I just get a page saying: Server Error in '/' Application.

Same here.

I give/gave up
 

Somebody famous once said that you have to know when to fold ‘em or something like that. Somebody probably lost out because I was gonna go all eBay/museum price crazy just out of convenience in order to get five items I’ve wanted for too long.

Yikes.

Not really enjoying this as a consignor.

I’ve been collecting Old Judges for a long time but can someone please explain to me why the 1890 Old Judge Clement is at $1100. I know 1890 cards are scarcer, but unless you are collecting every variation in the set—so what. It’s an existing pose, one with a typically bad 1890 image. Unlike all Players’ League cards and many 1890 National League cards it does not portray a team change for the player. Whoever wants this card should also want the 1887, 1888 and 1889 Clement cards because they are no different, just another year of a Clement Philadelphia card. Amazing.

Guess I am the only one who thought this was hilarious...I mean, you were joking, right?

Possibly.

We thank all participants for their patience during tonight's server issues. We have been working tirelessly to address with our service providers.

Since our last e-mail, service to the site was interrupted and as a result we are extending the auction 30 minutes in accordance with section 25 of our Terms & Conditions to accommodate all bidders and consignors.

The auction will end no later than 12:30 AM EST.

This will be the FINAL EMAIL prior to the end of the auction. We encourage bidders to use Honest Auto Bid to avoid disappointment. That is the best way to ensure you are not locked out of the action.

There will be no warning as to exactly when the auction will end prior to 12:30 AM EST.

THE EXACT TIME WILL BE UNKNOWN SO PLEASE DO NOT DELAY! The entire auction will close at once.

They've extended their closing time to 12:30 AM. Still plenty of time for me to be outbid.

Oops, Brian beat me to it.

Still not letting me bid

Site down

Yep

Was able to adjust my bids about fifteen minutes ago but can't get bid-pages to load now. Tough to win an auction this way.

yep can't bid.

I've been outbid on everything i was going after, and have reached my limits, (unless I get caught up in things and bid beyond what I told myself I would :) )

Hope everyone gets the bids in they were intending. Hope the sellers get the prices they were hoping for (and more).

@Bryan, I'm sure the internet issues are making for a brutal evening. In our few interactions and when I consigned last auction you were always great. Hope this gets worked out in a way that works all around.

Good, so you won't see my bids which topped yours. Just the way I like it.

Shut it down...
 

Please make this stop.

No shame coming in second to you, Jeff. I respect your passion.

A song for our times
 

I read that it would close no later than midnight. It is 20 past.

It also seems like the site crashes every 5 minutes. It might be worth upgrading your technology so it can handle the load.

Extended to 1230

Unable to bid down again

REA is broken. Maybe we'll find out tomorrow who won?

#fakenews

Site down for me now. I quit.

how am I getting outbid when I haven't been able to get in for 30+ mins??

Same.

LOL, at least Mastro can’t be blamed for crashing the site. Time to go to the bullpen for Rob.

I guess I need to start taking the monday after REA off or at least the morning for sleep! I love the earlier close. Not so much tonight.

I am in the camp of people that would like to go to bed.

“Under no circumstances will the auction continue beyond 12 AM Midnight EST.”

Does this mean that any bids after midnight will be nullified?

12:35 AM and still continuing? Maybe this will end up at 5:30 like the old days.

LOL, at least Mastro can’t be blamed for crashing the site. Time to go to the bullpen for Rob.

I can't get on the site? Is the auction over?

It would be good if REA e-mailed me to let me know what is going on? I only found out about the 12:30 deadline from this site.

Hopefully they’ll extend it all nite so I can try, but fail to log in or bid.

So I guess 12:30 was a soft close...

I feel for the consignors and the bidders both.

But dang, we're now in double-OT, well past 12:30, which was supposedly the very end.
Got the max bids in before midnight like a good boy, with now an extra 45 minutes of last-second sniping by fellow bidders every time the clock ticks down another 5 minutes.

Not life or death, but not really enjoying being the midnight snack for the passing vultures...:rolleyes:

.

Apparently...

:(

That would be great if none of us had anything going on tomorrow. Not the case for me.

+1

I think they should move the close to tomorrow night 9 pm EST with a hard close at 11 pm EST and get things fully straightened out.
