Confusing Rules
 

I was ready to place multiple bids in tonight's Mile High Auction. The first thing I did was read their rules.

Rule # 2 said "To bid on a lot after 9:00 PM, EST you must have placed a bid on that lot prior to 9:00 PM, EST." So, I waited till 8:15 EST to start placing all my bids. After placing my first bid, I received the following message: "We are very sorry, but you are no longer eligible to bid on this lot. You must have placed a bid by 7/18/2018 5:00:00 PM to be able to bid on this lot..."

Apparently, somebody did not update the rules for this auction.

Of course, I was frustrated and said that somebody will not be getting any of the money which I was ready to spend tonight. I then went back to the home page and noticed this was on the home page: "Extended bidding begins at 7 PM EST".

So, one auction and 3 different times to get your bid in. Am I missing something or did they really screw up?
