Award the set to Powell since he was the high bidder at the time Heritage closed the lot, they should have closed the singles at that point but the software didn't allow that. No matter which way Heritage goes it will be unfair to someone, in this case Aaron who did nothing wrong and played by the rules. Maybe Powell can work out a deal with Aaron for his extra BG Jackson or Herzog if he is awarded the set.

In think the only fair thing to all is a rebid from the close and it only stops when no bids on ANY lots for 30 minutes. Powell should never have been the winner when it said so, and to declare so would now be unfair to the individual lot bidders.

And, no, I don't know the answer either. But my guess is that Heritage will let the results stand as they played out (and compensate Powell in some way).

Fair, or at least equal, where the bidders are concerned is achievable, but there is no perfect solution.

I’m so sorry Powell....I hope you never deal with Heritage again. So messed up.

I don't know. I don't know the solution. Maybe compensate is the wrong word.
But if they award the set to Powell, what do they tell the person that thinks they won the Cobb and wants to display it with their Ty Cobb collection. Just to be clear, I feel terrible for Powell. I am just saying that awarding the set to Powell raises issues with all the individual lot "winners".

No good solutions. Heritage may need to pay big money to someone to make everyone happy.

First, I’m glad to sell my Jackson and Herzog to help out Heritage and the other bidders even though I was not planning to do so.
Second, I don’t believe there should be a redo as the set was sold to me. At worst, I should have to pay $1 more than the high bids on the individual lots. Otherwise, the true motivation for the last individual bids was to beat me out of the set after the fact. Even though the auction should have been over for the BG’s when the clock ran out on the set, under no circumstances should individual lots that were closed be re-opened. |

So what do people think Heritage will do here? Purely a guess, but I think they will let things stand, and hope they can make it up somehow with Powell.

If they haven’t shipped anything yet, then there’s a chance they could make a change, either to award the lot to Powell, or declare that their software was insufficient for the assigned task and therefore the auction needs to be re-completed using a system that allows all bidders an equal opportunity of winning under this somewhat exciting yet potentially very complicated format.

I don't see how they can just decide to sell the set to Powell since their software allowed the bidding to continue. I think they will have to leave the results as is. Trying to reopen bidding for the lots related to the set seems like it would be challenging and probably wouldn't make anyone happy except maybe the consigner.
