There's got to be a better way to close these auctions...basically, the auction doesn't really even start until midnight...and then everyone who's serious about winning is gonna wait until about 3 minutes left in the "10 minute window" to all place bids at the same time. Who couldn't have seen the site crash at 12:07 coming?
|
I am back on but all lots are displaying as Sold so I don't think bidding has resumed yet.
|
Yes back on REA site...all lots closed
|
Rea
They sent a message saying that bidding would reopen shortly. (Bit that all lots would appear “closed” temporarily.

All the closed notices for the individual lots indicate the auction ended at 12:29 A.M. Perhaps that's when it will re-open for bidding with the 10-minute clock.
|
looks like it all ended while I was joking around on here. Good luck, y'all.

Good thing they went 17 days and provided 50 or so status emails when they had to know, as has been the case for years, that bidding takes off at the end no matter when you set it. Way to be prepared for the stretch run. |
show as "open" now for me
|
Rea
The auction has ended. All items are being reported as Sold.
|
Bids back open right now
|
And, open.

Rock 'n' Roll!

Closing times keeps changing for all lots I have bid on even though there haven't been any recent bids. Now they all show 12:42:02. Before they were 12:33 then 12:36:30.
|
The timers don't seem to be working right. Or maybe they reset with a bid.
|
They keep pushing the closing times out (even if no additional bids are being placed). WTH? :confused:
|
Now everything is closing at 12:47:56.
|
I’m throwing the BS flag on that. I was the high bidder on two when the first “revised” clock would have shit down. Now everything resets?

They just pushed the times out again... despite no additional bids being made. Wasn't the auction supposed to close "lot by let" at this stage??? :mad:
|
Imagine if you went to bed at 12:30 confident you had won a lot you really wanted because the auction website said it was closed and you were the winner. But then you're not. That's gotta suck.
|
I take it from their email that when they said the down time would be added they meant the total time that no one could get on would be added, and because that was more than ten minutes, they are doing it in some sort of blocks.

Closing times pushed out again to 12:55:00.
|
Now mine froze on a lot that was closing in two minutes. When I got back on it to bid it said had closed. Beautiful.

And now back open again, with about 8 more minutes.
|
I noticed that two lots that I was bidding (losing) on were down to 2 minutes each. Now they're back up to 8 minutes. Very strange.

Wow this is a mess.
Keep thinking I won a couple lots then it just keeps getting extended...the entire auction! It definitely should be lot by lot by now, no? |
Now on the My Bids page, it says closing time is 12:56:00 but some lots say Sold and others say Open even though it is before that time.
|
EDIT: This is a dumpster fire.
|
One of my lots is marked SOLD. The other has had additional time added.

Here's what I am seeing at 12:51.
|
Eventually someone is going to get drunk enough to outbid me if this keeps up.
|
Same here. I just bid on a lot, then got outbid and went to rebid and it's closed., others are still open and extended...
|
One of mine marked “sold”.
Then refreshed and now open again. I understand acts of God, etc….but not sure how they unwind this |

This will not end well for them.... especially for all the lots that should've closed, but received bids waaaaaay beyond the 10 minute window. |
And now everything is open again until 1:00:19. I should probably just give up and go to bed and see if I won anything in the morning.
|
every new bid keeps extending the whole thing
ok - good luck people i've had enough |
Glad I stayed sober for this one.
|
Working on it Peter
|
And now it's back open...
