Goldin Auctions Down?

[Goldin Auctions]

This message went out to all bidders, even those who did NOT bid in Spring Auction.
this explains the limited view at the moment.
and yes, 50,000 is a lot of people trying to access the site at once. That is what having your company name on a crawl on ESPN during the NFL draft will do, among other things.

Here is the email that went out in case it went to your spam.
We are currently migrating to a new cloud server tonight. As part of that process, at some point tonight the site will be down for thirty minutes to an hour.

The auction is closed to initial bids.

If you have bid in the Spring auction, when you log in you will be able to see the lots in the session/s you bid on. We split the auction into three separate sections (Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights) temporarily to reduce traffic and allow smooth extended bidding). The auction has been divided into 3 separate auctions. To see your bids you will need to login to your account, and go to "my account" page. Use the Auction selection drop down list on the my account page to view each of the 3 auctions. For instance if you are bidding on lot #400 you will need to select the auction entitled Spring 2020 Premium Auction - SESSION #2. To see lot #900 you will need to select Spring 2020 Premium Auction - SESSION #3.

Those that have bid in the auction, you were e-mailed procedures and rules for the closing. Prior to the extending bidding period, you will receive an e-mail with a link and instructions.

If you have not bid in the Spring Auction, you will not be able to see any lots until the auction concludes on Saturday night. These steps are in place to mitigate traffic to our site during auction close/extended bidding period and limit it to only eligible bidders for each session.

We appreciate you bearing with us while we migrate to a more powerful server to allow for the heavy traffic this auction has received. Future auctions will be conducted with normal closing procedures with a cloud server system that can accommodate the robust user base and high traffic that goes to our site on a daily basis...
especially during auction closing time. We thank you for bearing with us and being patient.
