Consignors must be giddy. Bidders, not so much. I wonder how many lots were "won" only to be lost tomorrow? |

This happens too often at too many AH’s. I for one am in the aggravated camp when it comes to these happenings. Not like it is some low level mom&pop AH. I guess I’m not tech savvy enough to understand, but I am reasonably certain eBay rarely crashes and going out on a limb ,I would wager a heck of a lot more bidding there at any given moment. Really wish wanting a card that I have been researching for weeks and now this didn’t get me down. But man I really want that card. :rolleyes: Rant over. Probably the right thing to do given the situation. Thomas Church |

And I'll be coaching my son's hockey team tomorrow night during the new auction closing...so I guess my lots will be fair game. :(

Yeah this is not going to work out well for the bidders. After reopening I am sure everyone bid to win only to have the auction postponed. Sorry to all those bidding and congrats to the consignors. Cha ching!!!!

Woke up and realized something is up (aware now). Zero intentions of bidding higher!

Or just end each GD lot individually. This is now a circus. Waiting for people to head to the great egress

Can we all stop complaining please come the next auction people will completely forget about this it’ll be an afterthought. REA is the best. People can hang in there one more day.

Anyway - thanks to those posting the note from REA, I still haven't received squat from them and am currently winning a couple of items - we'll see. I do know when it comes time to sell my collection - I will remember this event w/ REA. |

and then we look to the next auctions from Goldin to Heritage and so on and so on |
RE Auction
I am high on only one lot I thought I won twice last night, but in on a bunch! If I get out bid on the one I am defiantly going to. consider a few others! Still a awful way to end a auction!!!!

This is post just shows me if you have any sorta of high end cards you want to sell send them to REA immediately. There are apparently so many people bidding on REA they crash their system. Not REA's Fault. The game is now a 10 inning game and not a 9 inning game and people are still bidding!!! It's amazing !

REA is the best IMO but stuff like this is very frustrating. Website failure is extremely common with these auction houses
There has to be a better way. I also don’t understand why there needs to be 3hrs of “extended bidding” at 9pm EST before the lot by lot finish. |
It's the ten-minute thing and the antiquated auction hosting at CreateAuction that is causing this. The surge of bids at 8:59 overwhelmed the capacity of the site. All they are doing is postponing the problem to tonight: what happens with this surge? Will Create add more capacity to REA by then? For answers to these questions, tune in at 8:58 tonight.

Now the million dollar question... how much do these lots increase today and in the wee hours of tomorrow am?
Very interesting to see....... |

It would be interesting if someone here could do a cost comparison based on prices before the outage and then the final hammer price. Bob C? |
