I bid and won a few items, then they reopened the auction, 15 minutes after the lots closed--a little upsetting

Same issues.

Dave - they kind of had to, as people could not get in to bid. Even with the re-opening, I spent the last 15 minutes failing to get opening bids in and now wonder if I'll be able to bid on items that I already have bids on.

I'll be glad in the morning, as I'm saving a lot of money. Consignors, on the other hand...

Did they just close down the auction or did the site crash?

Site crashed - I was on the phone with Troy and it was definitely stuck.

I'm interested in seeing how they handle this. One side will be fighting for the items will be auctioned off again while the other will want it to be how it is.

Yeah, I just spoke with Troy again. The site (according to what I can tell) went down at 7:50 Central, the 15-minute rule still began at 8:00, ended at 8:15...then the site came back up. So basically, no bidding during the 15-minute rule. You really can't end an auction without having the 15-minute period, so there isn't any argument from auction winners that will hold up.

We'll probably get an email in a minute, announcing the re-opening for the 15-minute period.

I managed to place a bid during the 15 minute rule.
