I understand your frustration but there has been a LOT of time to get there.

Very disappointing with my item's ending price. Extremely disappointed in REA.
they have 2 nights a year to "get it right"... i can let you know it effected my bidding... my frustration caused me to shy away from items i was interested in purchasing leading up to this evening.

No doubt this had to be frustrating to the AH. Per their own rules, which they even referred to in their last post, it seems that once they determined the servers were not going to cooperate the best thing would have been to postpone the close until it could close properly. By dragging it out and nobody knowing when or if it was going to close buyers may have had to pay more and frustrated buyers who stopped trying to bid only hurt the consignors' end results.
Poorly played to try to squeeze it in just because it was supposed to end tonight.

Not a win for either side...
Bidders feel like they should have won at the announced time, given how difficult it was sign in and bid for the vast majority of the bidders leading up to that time this doesn’t seem really fair and things were cheaper than they would have been at that time (and they know that) Consigners unhappy because how many people simply gave up out of sheer frustration (I pretty much did as a bidder) which theoretically results in a lower price. No win, honestly not sure what a solution should have been. In the past an auction house extended to the next day once they realized they were having server issues, which wasn’t popular but may have been the solution to make. One would need to make that call much earlier if they went that route.

Looking at the results there were some really high selling prices and a few bargains, just like every auction. Today was unfortunate, but I think Brian, Dean and the guys should be commended for assembling a great auction.

I consigned a very large signed card collection, and I’m obviously disappointed by the technical issues, but I know Brian did everything he could to resolve the situation fairly. Did I lose some bids because of the issues? Certainly, but the prices were very strong and if you’d told me going in what I would end up with I would have taken it in a second. I also won a nice Babe Ruth signed baseball at a great price, so I feel like I came out well as a buyer and a seller. I’m sure these issues will be resolved by the next auction and I’d recommend REA to anyone looking to sell.

I was fortunate enough to miss most of the technical issues...but only won one of my three items...but only because I held fast to my limit on the two I missed. The one I did win has been a white whale to me for awhile.
Bravo to Brian for putting on a good show. As much heck as we tend to lay on him, we should also appreciate the effort. .

I feel bad for REA but once they had to bounce the servers they never should have considered closing tonight.

+1. Chris, I completely agree with you. I have the highest regard for REA/Brian and his crew, but as I see it, the only folks that should be happy with last night's debacle are those bidders who won lots because other bidders gave up trying to get in to bid.

B.S. It's been spotty for hours. If I win the couple I was leading I sure hope my servers are working when it's time to write my check.
