As a back up, a mail merge is being sent from our controller frank Dinote to all bidders and consignors in the auction this morning .
It details closing procedure,
If you are not a bidder with a current bid in the auction, you did not get an email as you are not eligible for extended bidding. We are limiting traffic to the website during extended bidding. For anyone who says “ but I wanted to get a bid in” the auction ran for 36 days! And was extended Saturday night Just before extended bidding was about to begin. An email was then sent out explaining it would be delayed until Sunday and once again told people they have 19 hours extra to get initial bid on, and emphasized do it NOW. If someone with all of that going on still decided to wait until 5 minutes before it entered extended bidding Sunday well then what can we say.
Please check your email if you have bids placed in the auction. If you did not, we are taking drastic steps to reduce all traffic to the website during extended bidding period so the bidders in each closing session can bid quickly and seamlessly without any slowness or delays . Thank you

What a stupid thing to say. If you want people to bid early, why do you have extended bidding? Your customers planned, for 36 days, a bidding strategy that included the extended bidding THAT YOU TOLD THEM WOULD HAPPEN.
