Ne1 else notice? What would you do?

2 words for you in that situation. LAW SUIT.

They did not fulfill their end by properly running the auction corretly, there fore they broke contract and not you. I am not a lawyer but I am sure that is a common rule of thumb.

[Bicem]

wow, no wonder prices looked low.

I'm sure lots of lawyers will be clamoring for this case.

I have two words for you if you sue: "You Lose."

You can be damn sure SCP's fine print protects them from liability due to computer glitches.

I noticed the auction closed right on time like they said, but instead of going into the 30 minutes extended bidding period it just closed. About 5 minutes later, it came back on and went into the expected 30-minutes bid process. As a bidder, I was a little confused but checked back a few minutes later to see the timer had come back on. From there, it seemed to be a normal process. So maybe it was just a glitch for about 5 minutes.

How could this be? Why should anyone lose $100's if not $1000's of dollars for their issues. What happened to customer service? If it was a glitch in their system then the consigner should have some rights, right? Just does not seem fair to any consigner.

BTW thanks for the spelling check guys

I figured I'd let Clay (SCP) cool off for awhile. I called today after waiting a few days to try to resolve my problem once again.

He said immediately after saying my name: "Oh it's you" and hung up. I'm not out $1000's, maybe a $1000. How petty of this jerk to treat his consignors like this.

[Dalkiel]

Something similar happened in a weekly Heritage auction a few years ago. I was a bidder and definitely benefited from the technical malfunction. I can imagine I'd be upset too if I were in your shoes.

[rman444]

I won the dukes cabinet Delahanty when the lot closed the first time and then lost it by one bid when it reopened

[rdwyer]

I've decided to sue SCP Auctions in small claims court. Ne1 here that would like to write a declaration for my case? I need verification of the auction closing prematurely and others who have suffered because of it. If you had similar experiences with Clay or others, etc. TIA

You aren't a lawyer? BTW, lawsuit is one word.

Leon, maybe he was referring to a suit one would wear when filing a lawsuit!?!

I think it's a reference to Lichtman's wardrobe.

Good one Peter

[rdwyer]

SCP told me I had 8 different bidders that were eligible to bid after the extended bidding period. Only one bid was made after they turned it back on. I know that the other bidders missed out, because a similar set sold for more when it was poorer quality than mine. It also had more bids than mine.

what, is Barry on vacation?

I'm letting the board members self-regulate their spelling.

[oldjudge]

What SCP did is not without precedent. Other auctions have had computer issues and have handled things in a similar fashion. Anyone could have done what I did-call and ask what had happened. I was politely informed and took part during the extended period.

I believe that would be - I'm letting the board self-regulate its spelling.

[barrysloate]

Ken- I considered that but the board is a group of people, as in "I let the various people who have commented on this thread regulate their own spelling."

I'm defining "board" as several different people.

[Rob D.]

Board is a singular noun, much like crowd, group and couple. It takes a singular verb.

Ouch.

i thought the prices in general were very low. I picked up one card for less than half the price, including BP, i offered someone last month for the same card in much worse condition. i do not think it had anything to do with a glitch in the auction.

[rdwyer]

I feel that I lost money because the ones who were bidding thought it was over. Yes, maybe one or two caught on. But it's the ones who didn't, I lose there bids. I called 3 or 4 times to find out what was going on myself, and everyone I talked to said the same thing: "An auction is an auction", etc.

I felt that either they pull the auction, or they give up their commission or premium. Clay's response was to do business with someone else.

An auction is an auction if it's fair and done properly. I would try to please the seller if I had a problem with an auction I did.

cfc1909 wasn't the only one that blown off. The ones I spoke to said that everyone was calling in. (To complain)
