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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Only in this country.

In British English, it would be "The board are..."

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.

Prices in general are down. That shouldn't come as a surprise anymore.

Default Ne1 else notice? What would you do?
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)

I called and was politely told there was a computer problem and the clock would be reset in a few minutes.

I can't believe that anyone who really wanted to bid on an item would assume the auction was over and give up when the rules clearly stated that the closing period began at 10 est

That's a pretty crappy way to treat a customer...especially one who gave SCP free advertising on this board.
