Due to a hardware failure in a critical network component, the Mastro Auctions websites were unavailable via the Internet this morning and part of the early afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have presented to our customers. The system is back up and running on our backup system currently. We are planning on replacing the failed network component tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, June 24th) between 2 and 4 PM Central Daylight Time (7 and 9 PM GMT). Once the installation is complete, there will be a short period of time when the site may be inaccessable while we switch back over from our backup network to our primary network. Again, this should be relatively short (15-30 minutes), but some people, such as those on AOL and some other service providers may experience slightly longer delays in connecting due to the way these companies have their systems configured. We will send out an email once the cut over is complete. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time period.
