Nothing bad to say about the auction other than the question of the lot(s) not being there.

There was no reserve mentioned in the Maris ball lot. It was still in my bid list when I logged off around midnight Eastern the night of the auction, although I wasn't anywhere near high bidder. The next day it was gone. I agree that there should be an explanation, but I suspect that they simply pulled it when the problems were occurring. I would also guess that a number of other items disappeared as well, but I am not inclined to check.
One other thing to say about the auction: sometimes the little things are indications of something bigger. This auction was riddled with typos, indicating to me that they just weren't giving this auction much attention. Perhaps they lost a key employee, I don't know, but all of these mistakes will lead people to speculate.
