That's assuming other platforms are safer. They might be less safe. We know SA is addressing the issue, whereas may other platforms may or may not have.

As often is the case with companies that have to react to problems, perhaps SA is now the safest platform.

Absolutely agree....point being; this isn’t the first time on the same affected sites. Wondering if consignors would take the chance to go to another knowing they haven’t been hit yet. Crap sandwich any way you look at it...and; I’m still trying to bid!!!!

Does anyone know if there is a problem again with some auction sites? When I try to load the Goldin Auction web page, I am getting a "Service Unavailable" error.

I was also unable to load the Wheatland Auction, but now both it and Goldin are loading ok so if there was a problem, at least it was brief.

They are in the process of doing more updates to some of the sites, I got a notification last week.

Goldin site loads now but you can’t search or view anything in the auction.

Maybe a goodtime for HA or REA to license their custom website to other AHs. This will add sales history for reference, and add to the database.

Would REA and Heritage rather help out their competitors, or continue to enjoy a significant reliability advantage over them?

Dare I ask? Is SAS down again? Some of the big AHs that use the software appear to have broken links (again).
