Goldin isn't at fault here, unless you want to argue that they should've found and migrated to a better auction platform a long time ago. They were told that the hosted site could handle a high volume of traffic and transactions, but it clearly could not, now they have to rectify a huge mess.
This idea that shutting down auctions is somehow "good for business" is just weird. If you ask Ken Goldin (or Heritage last month or REA last year) if they'd rather have an outage or finish the auction as expected, no one's voting for an outage.
SimpleAuctionSite failed here, Goldin has to deal with the consequences. That's it.
