Extension was really the only option
Extending the auction was the only option from our perspective. We had a multitude of people who were trying to bid but due to the bombardment of the site by an outside perpetrator were unable to. In fairness to bidders attempting to bid and acquire items and the sellers ablility to offer said pieces under a stable bidding environment, extension was the logical decision.
We will close at 9:00 EST this evening under the same rules that would have been applied last night under normal operating conditions.
In all probability the vast majority of items will end up at the same level they would have achieved had the auction ended up undeterred with a problem free closing.
