Any complaints for getting shut out is damned stupid.
I'm a consignor to this auction and the breakdown in bidding to cleanly close I believe is going to substantially hurt me.
That bugs me, but understanding what has occurred at least has me understanding where fault lies, and clearly that is with the server.

I always set a reminder to bid the final day, that is simply how I create my schedule. I find it boorish to insult the way someone else bids. Talk to 50 collectors and you are likely to find 50 different methods.
