Same here

We will look into this. We have seen an error like this before. Thanks for letting us know. We were under the impression it had been fixed (or wasn't an issue).

I actually loved that it automatically put it on my watchlist. I can't think of another auction site that has that feature, and it saved me some time. Perhaps it could be changed to a preference?

It worked for me two days ago.I also really like auctions that close by individual lot.

So a quick update. Our s/w folks looked at the issue and couldn't replicate it. We hope it was an isolated incident and believe it was, after the fix earlier. As for changing stuff, We certainly don't want to be messing with the auction structure on closing night but we will discuss having this automatic watch feature, if it's doable, in the future.

And we like our closing method this evening, with each lot individually closing with a 30 minute rule, and all lots open to everyone until they close.

Please note that the initial bidding ends at 10:00 p.m. EST

All lots with either no bids or only one bid will end at that time, they will NOT be a part of the extended bidding. All lots with two or more bids will remain open for 30 minutes, if no further bids are received then they will close at 10:30. Each time a lot does receive a bid it will be extended for another 30 minutes.

DO NOT wait until 10:00 EST to start bidding on unopened lots or lots with only one bid if you have an interest in them, you will have to place a bid prior to 10:00 to keep them open for extended bidding.

Once we do enter extended bidding, you are eligible to bid on ANY lot, even if you have not bid on it prior, as long as the lot is still open.

IMHO I don't like the lots closing individually. As a buyer, if I see I'm not going to win an auction I was hoping to, I start looking for others to jump on. But when they all end individually, it's quite a bummer to not have that chance if one has ended. And as a consignor, I would lose out on those buyers "hungry" to get at least something from the auction. Oh well.....just my two cents.

Was able to get this T201. someone marked on the back, but it still displays nicely...



FWIW, I like the "lots close individually" format, but the other formats are okay too.
