Scott and Leon, I like the decision you made. It was the fairest thing to do for your consigners -- who are the people your auction truly represents. I'm sure that will earn you some business in the future, including mine.

When did the joggers in your neighborhood start carrying torches and pitchforks?

Let's try again.... (fingers crossed). At least it makes the oscars more interesting!

Does the 15 minute clock ticking away have any meaning? I supposedly bid with only 15 seconds left. I then looked at one of the other lots I was bidding on, and it said there were only 10 seconds left (when it should have been 15 minutes, since I had just placed a bid). Then, it ticked down to zero. And stayed there. Now, at least on my screen, it just says "hit refresh." When I do, it still says "hit refresh." How do I know how much time is really left? Thanks.

Paul,

The 15 minutes go by the quarter hour, the clock resets at the top of the hour, 15 after, 30 after and 45 minutes after. When no bid is received in one of those 15 minutes periods the auction will end automatically. At this point so many bids are being received this is irrelevant. Once bidding slows down the 15 minute period will be more of a factor.

You may have the wrong browser...for instance, Firefox will not show a countdown, but Explorer does...

It looks like I won two lots. When will the invoices be sent out?

As is normal we won't send paper invoices in the US mail unless the buyer requests it. Online invoices will be available later today online, after you login to your account. They will also be sent to all bidders via email. We will send out an email to registered users when they are ready. It looks like everyone that wanted to bid had ample time to bid. We saw no issues last night, or this morning, with the sytem. Thanks to all who participated.

I thought you handled everything perfectly. I didn't bid on a lot this time but hopefully I'll bid on more next auction.
