I got the following email.

Due to circumstances out of our control, a server crashed at 9:30pm, hundreds of people were unable to get their bids in before initial bidding ended.
To be fair to EVERYONE, we have extended the auction until
SUNDAY January 29 6PM EST.
WE WILL HAVE SPECIAL CLOSING RULES - READ CAREFULLY
You must get initial bids in by 6PM EASTERN Sunday.
We will go on the 15 minute rule until 11pm EASTERN. WE WILL BE DOING A HARD CLOSE AT 11PM EASTERN so as not to cause anyone to stay up too late Sunday night.
This means at 11pm ALL LOTS WILL END
(if they have not ended earlier due to 15 minute rule).
We hope you find this a fair solution and it is not too much of an inconvenience.
We will be closing the office for the night at 1130pm eastern tonight and will open for calls tomorrow at 11 am.
Bidding is open now and will be open all day tomorrow.
We expect the site to be very slow between now and 3 am eastern. It will be down for approximately 15 minutes at 3 am and than once up should be fixed.
