Goldin Auctions Down?

[Stampsfan]

I just posted a max bid and it worked. We will see if it holds.

Sort of seems like more often than not there days an auction has to be extended because of some technical problem. Very peculiar, as last time I checked these folks aren’t selling toilet paper or Lysol wipes.

Site has been down. Up now and they are supposed to be extending time to bid, but many people reporting trouble bidding on items they did not bid on. They are working on an approach.

extended until tomorrow - sound familiar?

why does something similar to the problems tonight keep on happening? Groundhog Day.

When this same failure happened with Heritage just a month ago (https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=281704), I suggested it was a platform failure and not malice, as at least one person strongly suggested. That didn't go over so well.

Tonight, different auction house and a different auction platform (the one that sent out passwords in clear text), same meltdown. I really don't think these auction houses are engaged in fraud that would be just stupidly obvious. No, they're just using inadequate platforms that can't handle traffic and transactions.

These guys make an awful lot of money with their 20% buyer penalties premiums. Maybe they can spend some of it on their technology.
