Did anyone have trouble with Ward’s yesterday? Seems something went wrong. I had bid on a couple lots of ammo and a rifle there. I watched the count down and hit zero and showed I had won the lots. But then there was a notice they were having difficulty closing the auction. I kept an eye on it for a while last night to see if I had been sniped on my bids but nothing changed after an hour and a half so I figured all was well. I got up this morning to find that at about 100 am my time (est) I received emails telling me I had been out bid on all lots. Just wondering.

From the very beginning yesterday they sent out a notice that they were having trouble with their count down clock, or whatever it is called. The auction ended at 12:02 AM PST. They instituted a new format that has a lot of issues. It goes way beyond just learning the new process. Weeks ago I saw the change of format and hacked at it for a time while making a list of problems. I called and actually had a conversation with the IT guy. He knew of many of my issues. He did make some changes and explained a lot how to navigate through the system.
It is their practice to email you when you are outbid but I don’t know when the ones I got came in and I deleted them this morning. I do as you do, follow it up to my bedtime and look the next morning to see what I lost. I got 3 cartridges and 3 books. There was a notice that said they were going to use the 1 minute rule instead of the 30 second rule they have been using. Not sure which one they used?
I hate the way they run their auction and have told Eric this in person several times. The auction needs to end at a reasonable. The snipers would be eliminated and people on the East coast wouldn’t have to play their game until 3 AM.
