my 2 cents
Well,
Like I think is a unanimous opinion around this, Heritage really messed up the mechanics here and poorly communicated the "process" (it was a unique situation for them and should have been much more explicitly communicated) - if the way it went down was what was intended. One thing that I would like to add that "should" have happened here in addition to all the BG lots staying open till none of them had bids for 30 minutes, is that the "current" bid of the set lot should have increased as the aggregate bids on the individual lots did - reflecting either a winning set bid or a losing one that could then be increased.
Based on the specific wording that has been clearly pointed out, I suspect this possibility may have been considered and determined to be too much trouble or expense to make the necessary software changes.
That said, like most - I think the situation SUCKS royally!! While I understand the point you are making Powell as well as why you would have gone to sleep thinking you won, I think the way the wording sits hurts your position.
