Due to a hardware failure in a critical network component, the Mastro Auctions websites were unavailable via the Internet this morning and part of the early afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have presented to our customers. The system is back up and running on our backup system currently. We are planning on replacing the failed network component tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, June 24th) between 2 and 4 PM Central Daylight Time (7 and 9 PM GMT). Once the installation is complete, there will be a short period of time when the site may be inaccessable while we switch back over from our backup network to our primary network. Again, this should be relatively short (15-30 minutes), but some people, such as those on AOL and some other service providers may experience slightly longer delays in connecting due to the way these companies have their systems configured. We will send out an email once the cut over is complete. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time period. |

Magic box broke. Using old magic box until new magic box arrives. Must stop collecting porn during auctions. |

Seems like a no-brainer. If they don't think the system can handle the traffic on the final nights because of circumstances they can't control, it makes sense to move the ending days. If I was a consignor and they knew there could be problems and didn't address them, I'd be ticked. |

...I have to say that I am very happy they are doing this. There have been a number of issues over the past few days and if they can get this cleaned up so as not to disrupt bidding, then that is a welcome resolution. |

I certainly agree that if they are worried the servers can't handle the load they have to fix the situation. Parenthetically, I would expect an auction house of that size to have a full backup, but if they don't then they have to wait until they can get their primary back in working order. |

It is great for the consignor. As a bidder, I'm not thrilled because I think the ultimate sold prices will increase over what they would have had the auction ended tomorrow night. You never know with last second bidding but my gut feeling is that prices will be higher with the week extension.... |

Agree this may affect the bidding slightly but they are doing the right thing. Interesting that it is a weather related problem. |

I agree with Bob. Great for consignors / Bad for bidders. |

I see it from a little different perspective nowadays.....As a collector I am in agreement with what others have said. As an auctioneer they are making the right move.....period. Auction houses work on consignments. They have to do what is best for the consignors or they won't get more/as much....and yes, I understand about the bidders too....but we will still be there, trust me. Could a bidder or two be lost, maybe, but overall this is the best decision, imo........ regards |

Great for consignors / Bad for bidders was simply a factual statement... not a judgement of what was right or wrong. If they are truly having technical issues, the decision to delay the Auction's close was the right one for Mastro and it's consignors. |

I agree that there is never harm in discussing things that could be...otherwise we would be sort of naive. I will tell you though, and everyone mostly knows it, you never know how an auction lot will do until it's closed. Our first auction more than doubled the last day. Some lots went up 3x-5x the last day. Because Mastro has as much, or more experience, than almost any auction house I doubt the low prices 3 days out had an effect on them extending it. Still a good point to bring up.....but imo I doubt they did it for that reason......best regards |

No way they are going to close the auction because some lots are currently underperforming. I have plenty of underperforming lots the day before my auction closes. I know they will reach their proper level. |
