Robert Edwards Auctions STILL going strong at 8:15 AM Est!!!!

As far as I know, the site crashed around 12:05 AM and resumed back to normal around 12:25 AM EST. Why couldn't REA just extended the time from midnight till 12:30 AM EST and then closed the items on their 10 minute rule after that? To extend this auction another full day, is totally unfair for the bidders who followed the regular auction rules. You know who comes out ahead here by doing what REA did? True, it is REA's auction and they can do what they want, but do you think this is fair to the high bidders who bid as high as they can go for the item they bid on? For a professional auction house that REA runs, this was handled in an unfair manner.

They tried to do that but the ten minute clocks were not working they kept resetting even with no bids on the lot..

Everything on my list is pretty stout right now. Tack on the 20% and it is stratospheric. I wonder if they will do free shipping this year?

The auction should be shut down at 9pm period. People have had all day to come up with a bid. This doesn't make any sense to me. Frank
