That's great, but if you're juggling a budget sometimes it's just not possible.
I've been on the same end of this problem as Brian as an auctioneer, with a different service, and I have to tell you it's one of the worst feelings you can imagine. EVERYBODY is mad, the next day people who didn't realize there was a problem take THEIR turn getting mad. There's nothing you can do but be as fair as possible to all involved. Basically try to keep the playing field as level as you can so everyone suffers or benefits equally.
I think anyone who has dealt with Brian appreciates what a positive force he is in a hobby that desperately needs more like him.
