I woke up this morning at 4:50am (the joys of an 11 month old!) and checked my email for outbid notices since I had gone to bed). I got outbid on one at 2:30 am, so I logged on to REA and saw the auction was still going.

So at 4:55am, I went to place my bid. I got to the confirm bid page, and when I hit confirm, got an "auction is closed" message. I must've missed a final bid by a second or two! Been upset all morning now about that one!

Scott - rough break man. You are correct though. The auction ended at approx 4:55am-4:57am. Right when you were placing that bid....

Thanks to all who stayed up late last night in the Chatroom. Had a lot of fun and I'll certainly have to remember this for next time!

Due to some financial blundering on my part, I didn't have quite enough cash to bid with as I would have liked, but I did manage to snag the one auction I truly wanted during this season which was the m116 Scrap/Proof lot...

Glad you got that. One more outbid and I would have gone for it.

Don't forget that Goodwin, Legendary, and Huggins and Scott, and Mile High are gearing up now. Plus, JVSC, Sterling, LOTG, Mears, Saco River and on and on. Good Luck

5am to end an auction is insane. Should be all bids in by 2am at the latest. If everyone knew it would end at 2am or 15 mins without a bid, whichever is sooner, it would make more sense. For an auction house to say, " we will end it when we want too" doesn't seem right to me.
