In this case there's a problem at the top and it is trickling down to affect a bunch of AH, and those who do business with them. And nobody seems to be able to say conclusively what, exactly, that impact and potential risk is.

the problem with my analogy is that it was too hard for you to follow.

Your analogy was to simpleton to be applicable here.

Guess they won’t be back up today.

AH better hope their stuff sells well or they are going to have some annoyed consignors.

Why wasn't this done after the first hack?

12 hours after last update and still down. Slightly frustrating for me but it must be overwhelming frustrating for auctions sites with live or about to go live auctions. Jeff W (National Card Investors)

I lose momentum to place bids and completely lost track of when their auction ends since they mostly get postponed somehow.

I'm sure when this mess is fixed, the auction houses will contact their customer base
w/ info when their auctions will open, or the ones that were running will state their new closing date.

As a consignor to one of the affected, in-progress auctions, THIS is my biggest concern - loss of momentum & enthusiasm.

The lack of a clearly defined "recovery time objective" is frustrating - it seems to be a moving target. My heart goes out to the auction companies, because they can't set a clear expectation of return to service with their customer base
