If someone makes a high bid on the same bidding slot as someone that was going to bid when the auction opens it makes a difference.......the person that is following the rules now may not be able to win the item for what would of been the potential winning price and loses that opportunity....an 'correcting' it doest mean stopping bidding..it means resetting the bids....you cant argue otherwise

I doubt many people place a ceiling bid at the opening bell. I doubt even more there are lots where two people were going to do so at the same level and one has now been denied.

wont know until bidding actually starts tomorrow...but we do know the fairest thing to do is start the auction when it was supposed to start....why are you commenting about ifs and making excuses..yes its possible no harm no foul...but we dont know for sure....what we do know is a mistake was made and it can easily be corrected..whats the harm in resetting the bids.....instead of most likely no harm no foul in keeping it how it is..it would be ZERO Harm Zero foul if its reset....or am i wrong

The man made a mistake as he explained. Life goes on. It seems it would generate a lot more confusion to start cancelling everyone's bids. It will be fine.

Would help on a lot of your posts for sure! But you do not think the 1991 Eagles NFL defense is one of the top defenses of all time so you lose all credibility right there

Envious or something. That might be one of the most harmless mistakes ever made and you go ape shi$ on him? No more coffee for you this morning (or last night ).

It is outright foolish to say opening an auction before the announced time makes no difference. It probably doesn't make a difference when your bidding on a friend's auction, or in the hammer price, but sure makes a difference who wins it.


Mistakes can happen, and I don't believe there is an easy fix.

Another Goodwin question: did anyone get a print catalog?
