Only a lawyer could come up with this nonsense. Just read the listing. It's extremely clear. You are being blinded by your emotions. You can't possibly be this obtuse. You won the first heat of a two heat race. But you lost the second heat.
Hopefully Heritage allows the auctions to be extended for you. But that would be a major courtesy to you if they do. But to claim (yes, by fiat) that your lot ending also halts any bidding wars that might be taking place on the other individual lots is, of course, absurd. If you want to argue that you should have been given the opportunity to continue increasing your bid amount to compete against the individual lots, then that's a more fair argument to make. But to just claim that their action suddenly ends, while they're in the midst of a bidding war, is just wishful, silly, magical thinking.
