A few years back when REA has an outage on the auction ending night and they ended up waived all the shipping charges for that auction. Is it going to be the case this time given that extra night helped them to pocket millions more $. I am still waiting for an email for such announcement.

My invoice had normal shipping charges so looks like the answer to your question is no.

I don't think it's a given that the extra day of the auction resulted in so much additional bidding. Extended bidding usually sees plenty of action and the issues they had Sunday night prevented some number of people from being able to bid then. Just because a lot was bid up on Monday doesn't mean the same bidding wouldn't have happened on Sunday night during extended bidding if there hadn't been any problems.

While the extra day may have led to some people deciding to bid more, it is just as likely that others would have decided not to bid more because of what happened so the overall impact of the extra day could very well have been minimal or even negative.

There was a shipping charge in my invoice, so I assume that�s not happening.

I won two lots. The one lot my bid from Sunday held up. The other lot I got into a bidding war I would not have gotten into if the auction had ended as planned. I put a bid in Sunday night and would not have bid again after midnight. I then decided to bid again monday night and went back and forth with another bidder. My late bidding on Monday drove the price up 2k from my previous bid early Sunday night. Had the action not been extended someone would have gotten a very very good deal on a a very rare card

I was bidding on four items Monday that doubled or almost doubled in price from the time of Sundays glitch. I was able to hang on and win one item but it was a bloodbath. The same run up may have happened on Sunday if everything had played out as planned so I'm not going to bitch about it.
