NOT HAPPY.

There's a good chance that the competing bidder in Hunt's was just waiting until the final seconds to bump your bid on the Collins. He may have driven you up, regardless of the timing glitch. Still, it has to be incredibly frustrating, and Hunt's should have found a way to close the lots on time (those that were not impacted, anyway).
I just hate it when these auction houses "play" with the rules and extend their closings. But sometimes these things workk to your advantage... now that the other guy is removed from the "Collins market", the next one could be nicer (and go for less). Anyway... good luck in your quest!
