B & L Auctions Live

[timn1]

Is anyone else having this problem w/ the B&L site? I am not getting a "Watch This Lot" button ever after (apparently) logging in successfully? Scott, Leon - any ideas?


Thx,
Tim

I got a server error after placing a bid but was able to hit the back button and got my bid to go through the 2nd time.

Tim: I have a similar problem. Just by virtue of opening the auction item it automatically puts it in my "Watched Lots" list.

I can see the "watch this lot" button. Others have had a problem with clicking on a lot and it being added to their list without clicking it. The S/W provider thought they had this corrected. Please bear with us and we will sort it out. It appears it "may" be a function of different browsers. What are you guys using?

So in the last few minutes we have been in touch with our s/w and hosting company. Are all of these last reported issues very current, such as in the last 3 hours? The reason I ask is that there were a few things addressed earlier today. thanks all...

I have this problem as well. I also have the same problem with JVSCs auction. Y'all must use the same software.

Using IE 10

I originally saw the issue around 5pm EST...just checked again and everything seems ok now.

I think i was the first to report this to Leon this morning...still having the same problem on my Mac (Safari) at home now, and on my PC (Internet Explorer, i believe) at work. This happened with another auction house recently, forgot which one.

The first time you log in and open a few lots, no issues...once you hit the watchlist button on one item, every other lot you open automatically gets put into your watchlist...software glitch for sure. It's minor, not a big deal.

Good looking auction!

With Firefox. Thanks guys.

Actually, I am seeing (as of 12:30 CDT) the same as others have reported -- everything I click on goes automatically into "Watching." I can live with that, though.

We will look into this. We have seen an error like this before. Thanks for letting us know. We were under the impression it had been fixed (or wasn't an issue).

I actually loved that it automatically put it on my watchlist. I can't think of another auction site that has that feature, and it saved me some time. Perhaps it could be changed to a preference?

It worked for me two days ago.I also really like auctions that close by individual lot.

So a quick update. Our s/w folks looked at the issue and couldn't replicate it. We hope it was an isolated incident and believe it was, after the fix earlier. As for changing stuff, We certainly don't want to be messing with the auction structure on closing night but we will discuss having this automatic watch feature, if it's doable, in the future.

And we like our closing method this evening, with each lot individually closing with a 30 minute rule, and all lots open to everyone until they close.

[sb1]

Please note that the initial bidding ends at 10:00 p.m. EST

All lots with either no bids or only one bid will end at that time, they will NOT be a part of the extended bidding. All lots with two or more bids will remain open for 30 minutes, if no further bids are received then they will close at 10:30. Each time a lot does receive a bid it will be extended for another 30 minutes.

DO NOT wait until 10:00 EST to start bidding on unopened lots or lots with only one bid if you have an interest in them, you will have to place a bid prior to 10:00 to keep them open for extended bidding.

Once we do enter extended bidding, you are eligible to bid on ANY lot, even if you have not bid on it prior, as long as the lot is still open.
