Legendary Auctions - Problem last night

[glchen]

I also did not see any issues with the countdown clock (in PST). One thing to know is that the clock includes extended time. So when it says that there is 1 hour left on the clock, that means that there is only 30 minutes to get in your initial bid, and then 30 minutes for extended time.

Actually, I forgot that rules for Legendary are different in that it says:

"You must place an initial bid on an item before 9:00 PM Central Time on auction closing day to be eligible to bid on that item during the extended bidding period that starts at 10:00 PM."

Therefore, you needed to have placed your initial bid with more than 1.5 hours left on the clock.

Was all good for me. One nice thing about living on the west coast is that the closing timing on most auctions is reasonable. I got home around 8:30 from a dinner meeting and the lots I was chasing were all closed by around 9:35.

The countdown timer included ALL time remaining, including extended time. I can see how that would throw people off, because it almost threw me off as well. However, in the catalog, AND the rules (posted online), it states that the auction locks at 9:00 (Central). I wanted to be sure I knew the rules exactly, because I didn't want to be locked out.

Well that's what I get then.

Great auction -- for the people buying cards. Not so great for consignors, I'm afraid.

I thought alot of the lots went high. I did think whoever did the Mars Attacks set break and the Horrors of War set break lost their shirt!
