REA auction site down now at midnight?

Snafu. I would expect better from REA. Other than that it was a bloodbath, congrats to the Net54 members who won, time for a Whiskey.

Same here. Went down but I was able to get back on. Watched the last of the 10 minute countdown and at 10 after it said lot closed. Then it opened back up for the 20 minutes. Then I read the email. No other bids. Closed again.

I’m assuming I won the lot. Not really sure.

I should try and not start drinking until after the auction is over. I thought I saw the auctions re-open, but thought it was just the beer.

Anyway, fun auction. I scored a small group of Buchner's. Lost out on a number of other lots I wanted. Not to go over everyone's heads with literary references, but as the modern day poet, Dolly Parton once said, Here you come again, and here I go.

Some of the greatest card collections have been built on good Whiskey. Congrats on the pick up Rob, I had a consignment do well so I was able to pick up a one of my Unicorns tonight.

I was hoping for the T3 WaJo (SGC Gd+) but there were already two bidders going at it as I sat waiting, so I knew my odds weren't good. I threw a strong bid in there after midnight, but it wasn't meant to be. Odds are at least one of those bidders was a net54 member, and hopefully picked it up. If so, congrats on the Turkey!

I think I won a Gehrig photo...wasn't sure at first because of the glitches and policy change.

I think REA did a good job overcoming the extended bidding snafu. From what I can tell, every lot got at least a 10 minute extended bidding, and while things were spotty for about 10 minutes, they fixed whatever the issue was an the auction ended smoothly. Plus, considering prices how strong prices were, I dont think affected consignors much.

I picked this up. I am very happy.

Stunning cdv!

I think they did the best they could considering the situation. My only glitch was that items I thought I had won at 12:10 got reopened so I needed to wait until 12:31 to see if I won them. In the meantime an item I was not winning was closing before 12:31 because it had a bid placed on it after 12 (and I didn't want to bid on that lot without knowing if I needed to raise my bids on the other lots). In the end, I placed a bid on the lot at 12:22 just to keep it open (and was automatically topped) but I cut it too close so that when the lots I was winning closed, I didn't give myself enough time to get back into the lot I was losing. But, to be fair, since I kept getting topped by an auto-bid, it is unlikely I would have won the other lot anyway.
