Consigners should know there were bidders interested in paying more for their items but backed off because of technical issues.

Also, did anyone else notice that when the extended bidding period began, there were several times when the time remaining showed well over a day instead of under 30 minutes? Sloppy technology which should be upgraded immediately.

There are 2 days of closing to the auction. That probably accounts for the "over a day" left scenario.

I went to bid last night, again, and it literally took 10 minutes for me to get on the site...as I stared at the screen I was roaming around the board and other places waiting. I have a very high speed connection. By the time I got to the auction site, after waiting for what seemed like eternity, the auction lot I really wanted had closed. That sucked.....Someone got a great deal on the card I really wanted. It's my fault but they really need to get another squirrel running around a wheel....Their servers absolutely sucked again.....Just calling it like I see it.....
