Hopefully they can jumpstart it soon and we don't go another full day.

Now it says all lots are closed?

My lot is counting down from 20 minutes.

I don't understand why it's a 20 instead of a 10, unless for some reason they think10 is part of the software problem.

Which would still be dumb.

Maybe to give people extra time to realize it is back up? Not sure what else would make any sense.

As per the email they sent out:

"In order to properly resolve the issues, the auction will have to be taken offline for a short period of time. This will involve temporarily closing the auction to preserve the data as it currently stands. During this time, individual item pages may display language to the effect of "Item Closed," "Lot Sold," and/or "Unavailable For Bidding."

Despite these messages, please understand that the auction is NOT closed and will reopen with bids at the levels where they were prior to the auction being taken offline. These are temporary messages that we cannot prevent from displaying during an event like this."

They have closed all lots temporarily as they try to restore access - lots are not closed.

It's a strange thing to have to stay up until midnight on the first worknight of the week to begin with...but then to do it and have this happen sucks.

I said it was unacceptable the first time. Hopefully others demand it be fixed now. Prices are very strong in this auction from what I can tell - will be even stronger if a day gets added.

Just like last time. I am convinced that I lost at least one auction due to that. agree that it was unacceptable last time, they already lost my business for a while due to how that went down. I hope this doesn't go exactly like last time, but if I had to bet I'd say we're going to see a Monday night close again. No Monday bids for me.

Looks like it’s back up with 20 minute lot by lot closes

I think it's 20 minutes, then 10 minute lot by lot.

Nope.

"LOTS ARE CLOSING INDIVIDUALLY! Every lot is now on its own 20 minute clock and the lot-by-lot countdown started. Place a bid on a lot, and the individual lot clock will reset to 20 minutes. When any clock counts down to 0:00, that lot will close."

Email said 20 minute lot by lot closing.

Hard to believe it happened again with this auction, but at least they got an email out much faster this time explaining what they were planning on doing. If the site stays up, then it won't be nearly as bad as the last auction.
