Anyway, maybe everybody already knows this, and no one gets confused. Just wanted to point that out, however.

Gary, wish I had read your post ealier! Cuz thats what happened to me in last night's H&S auction. I kept checking the countdown clock for the lot I was interested in (V100 McGraw + a T213 + a 1926 Supplement) and it seemed like it would be ending around 11pm EST. So knowing I'd be around, I figured I'd wait till 15 minutes before that to put in my initial bid. Well, at 10:45 when I tried, it gave me an error. So of course when I check the site, it said 9pm was deadline for initial bids and 11pm was the end of extended bidding. So, my fault for not reading it all entirely and thinking that the countdown clock was for the initial bid when it wasn't. I think the lot went low for $200 but who knows if I would've won anyway.
Oh well, i got to use that money for a different purchase today (thanks Bob!).
