Hakes Winnings

[Snapolit1]

I was the leading bidder on on of the great negro League photos and watched time expire as the winning bidder. I waited a few minutes after not getting a confirmatory email and logged back on and the item was running with a new bid and the clock reset. Very odd I thought. And another board member had the exact same experience on a different item. I can live with not winning the item but that seemed, uh, unusual.

Love the Red Sox pin, Bob. I was bidding and considered going higher, but had to drop out. Would’ve gone nicely with my collection, but can’t win them all. Enjoy it - it’s a great one!

I’ve noticed that some of the auction houses have implemented an “overtime” policy to prevent last second snipers. If someone places a last second bid the auction is extended for 30 minutes until there’s no more bids. Every bid extends the auction for 30 more minutes
