So I put a max bid in that I was comfortable with and worth it. I was winning throughout with an amount decently lower than my max bid. Needless to say I happily won the item.

But I was pretty shocked/surprised that it went all the way to my max bid. Thought it was too much of a coincidence, and have never bid on anything from any auction house since. I just don't trust them.

Good news! Auction is finally, mercifully over.

I was watching & bidding on a few cards but ended up only winning 2...and they're an odd pair:

T206 Walter Johnson Hands at Chest
1980 Topps Rickey Henderson RC

I don't know if the early end was a result of the glitch or if this is Goldin's general format.... but at 1030 last night my items were over. this seems like the right format for an auction as opposed to bidding going on until 1am.

at 10pm we entered extended bidding and if no other bids came by 1030 it was over, regardless of what happens with the rest of the auction.

I noticed the same and agree, if no other bids come in, the auction should end for that item.

It's hard to know what to think when that happens and of course it's happened to us all.

I don�t believe Honus increased in all of the extensions, did it??

According to the bid history, the last bids were on September 30 and October 6 so there was a bid after the original end date but not the last extra day.

Last night was the first night I have bid much in their new system. I do like the way it's set up. Maybe some of the issue, with performance, is they are tying several disparate systems together.... I received an email saying one login will work for all? of their companies.

I guess it turns out they extend the auction to hope getting more bids on the Jackie Robinson jersey and glove.... not Wagner.

Well... no sales on Jackie's stuffs.

Definitely. I think most cards go for at or near the "right" price so if your max bid is high end of market but not crazy, it's hard to conclude anything sinister if you win it at max. Not saying it isn't, just that it isn't obvious.

Does Goldin do the thing where they bid you up against a hidden reserve?
