ok it's back up - please don't bid anymore on the ones I'm interested in

[RCMcKenzie]

I just bid, and the clock did not reset to 30 minutes...it's still counting down. hard close at 11 it looks like. C'mon.

[RCMcKenzie]

looks like reset till manana. Goodnight, y'all

now it just reset to 24 hours?

c'mon - wow

and with that I'm out - good luck folks

Curious - did anyone just throw in bids in the "extended overtime" that they wouldn't have placed if they had known another 24 hours were left? I know I did. What a cluster.

Nightmare scenario for the bidders.

[AddieJoss]

I bid up cards that I wouldn’t have bid with a day to go. Completely nuts. I have screen shots showing 23 minutes left, so I have to give my high bids, then 23 hours left. Throws off any bidding strategy. Completely unethical by Heritage.

Anyone think it’s possible to get a Heritage rep to give me a call about this?

I placed a ton of bids thinking I was in extended bidding. Heritage fucked up badly here. No email, no message on website. I called, no message on phone. Then it starts up and I am bidding like a crazy man thinking I am in extended bidding, I would not have placed any of those bids had I known they were extended by a day.

I am fine with Heritage extending 24 hours -- stuff happens. But zero notice to the bidders is no bueno.

No, I was only going one more increment. I wonder if there will be a double standard when it comes to potential disputes regarding your point. I’m sure HA would point to terms of service if any of us screwed up...

Do we have any recourse in reducing the buyers premium if we win tonight?

i'm sure there's fine print somewhere that says they can do this

glad i'm not the only one who thinks it's pretty poor form

a quick replay of the action -
auction appeared to hard close at 10pm
within about 8-10 minutes it was back up, every auction had a clock with 30 minutes to go and bids could be placed
sometime around 10:20pm it extended for 24 hours

if they're going to reset to a 24 hour clock, i think they should have considered setting all the bids back to where and who they were as of 10pm last night, told everyone they had an issue and how they were going to handle before doing all the clock messing around above

it created massive confusion, and some people like me, made some decisions in that interim thinking the countdown clock was back on

as others have mentioned, any bidding strategy has now been totally shot to hell and many, like me, i suspect are just done with this auction
