The Official Post-REA Recovery Thread

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.
