Legendary's Clock All Messed Up

It's unfortunate that the clock messed up. Auctioneers mainly work for their consignors. Legendary did exactly what they should have done in this instance, imho. If any auctioneers want to speak up I think they will concur. best regards

The system was not down - it was still accepting bids. There was no reason to extend 30 minutes as they fixed the issue several minutes before 11:30. I'm sure all consignors would like every auction to have a surprise extra bidding period after the first one was to end. In that sense, I'm very certain they did right by consignors.
