Sterling Auctions Site Up *DO NOT BID at this time*

[Shoeless Moe]

Hey on the positive side if we ever want to buy a car.....or a place in Russia they will already have our info on file. So we got that going for us.

Just for the record. I know many Russian people, and they are nice, honest, intelligent, funny people like everyone else.

For most countries, don't mistake the politicians/government or criminals for the regular citizens. Especially in a borderline-dictatorship such as Russia.

I just got this update from VSA:

VSA Auction *UPDATE on Re-Start* For Auction That Was Paused last Thursday Evening

Targeted Re-Start for Wednesday 12/30 at 9:00 PM CST/10:00 PM EST (Assuming There Are No Unforeseen Setbacks)

Our auction host, Simple Auction Site, has notified us as well as the other 150+ auction sites this afternoon that they are continuing to work through all the issues and are in the final stage of getting us all up and running again but, as it turns out, they had to go in to each website and manually apply "fixes" to each one individually. That has slowed the process a bit but they are working towards bringing us up as quickly and safely as possible. It's been a tedious process but the team at Simple Auction has been working diligently around the clock (even through the holiday) to get all the sites back online while maintaining security. We happened to be one of the most affected sites given we were in the midst of an auction and in the 30 minute countdown phase so ours will be given priority. Shortly after the site goes live, we will confirm the functionality and immediately schedule the re-start time. Assuming there are no unforeseen setbacks, we are now targeting the re-start for Wednesday 12/30 at 9:00 PM CST/10:00 PM EST. The re-start time will be highlighted on the top banner across each auction page and all bidders & consignors will be notified immediately via e-mail/phone/text once the site is live.

** Due to the fact that this outage occurred after we had already entered into the extended bidding session, bidders will still be allowed to bid on the lots that they had previously placed a bid on prior to 11:00pm CST once we resume the auction. To be clear, if you had NOT placed a bid prior to 11:00pm CST on the individual lot, you won't be able to place a bid on on that lot when the auction resumes. You will be able to access your account once the site is restored to view the lots you are still eligible to bid on. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. **

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Please do NOT Bid in the Current Sterling Sports Auctions at this time.

The site is back up, but the auction was not suppose to be started. Please do NOT bid at this time. The whole auction was not ready to start. The changes need to be made by Simple Auctions to rectify this situation.

At the current time I am looking to start the auction in January (probably on the 14th). This is due in part to more consignments that came in and I want to give the web host time to work out any bugs that may occur.

In the mean time The preview will stay up to view and I will keep you updated with any other details.

If any one has any consignments they would like to get into the auction please let me know.

Thanks for your patience,

Needless to say, with a big front page "do not bid" splash, my Sterling consignments already have three bids. American Idiots at their finest...

I'd suggest everyone get in there today and change your password. Same with every other SAS site as it is restored.

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

A few bidders got in before the notice was sent. I like that they found it open but glitches need to be fixed before the auction gets up and running.

Thanks

Lee

It says DO NOT bid in the auction on the opening page.
