REA Auction Ends Today Sunday April 30. Initial Bids Must Be Placed By 12 PM EST!

Answering my own question, you cannot place a bid to win an item if it had no bids on it. So if anyone consigned the Williams/Dimaggio contracts, send me a PM and we can do a PayPal goods deal if you want to.

This is from REA's website:

however, items without a bid entering extended bidding will remain open for interested bidders to open during the extended bidding period. In the event an item without a bid entering the extended bidding period receives a bid during extended bidding, it will be closed to new bidders immediately as is the case with all lots having received a single bid.

That makes no sense whatsoever. So it basically turns into a BUY IT NOW?

It did not allow me to bid despite claiming the auction is still Open.
Error message: "Cannot accept bid. Your bid was not placed prior to the auction end time."

You might want to give them a call.

I sent them a PM. They responded pretty quick to the first one.

Why are people still bidding at the last second?

A few cards I really need but don't like the condition at all. I love when REA submits a card to PSA and gets 2 grades higher than I would get. Oh well. How the game is played I guess.

I don't think people are necessarily bidding at the last second. Unlike other auctions, REAs clock ticks of 15 minutes, if there were any bids during the 15 minutes, it resets for another round. Other sites clocks reset to 15 minutes the second there is a bid.
