Love the auctions, but I'm really not sure what is going on
I go to an auction, let's take one for Ortega I was trying for last week
It has less than 24 hours to go, I bid something around $25.
As is often the case, the counter bids come through just before it closes and I am alerted to being outbid via email - I log in and sometimes up my bid or sometimes decide to let it go. In this occasion I let it go as it had gone too rich for my blood.
I log back in a couple of days later, and the very same auction is running, often with several days left and I am shown in the bidding history.
This is not isolated, almost every auction I bid on gets to the end then seems to start again from where it was at at the point the hammer was to close.
Recent examples -
Ortega auction ending last Friday 6/12 but then somehow restarted and was down to end yesterday but I decided to leave it. Auction is still running now, showing it started on the 9th December but this is not true - I bid on the 5th of December and not on this seed since, it shows my bid history now as being on the 9th - the auction has restarted from the high bid amount at least twice since it was originally listed. I have the emails so am quite certain.
MasterKaze from last week also around same time, same exact scenario was bidding on it last week due to close over the W/E then relisted on Monday...
HolyGrail - auction still running now time extended several times...
When I placed my bids the auctions were closing in under 24 hours. In some instances, such as the Ortega, my bid was placed on the 5th, and it is now the 11th - I have never seen an auction here list for 6 days so even if the timer is broken this doesn't really explain the re-listing/never-ending element.
It almost seems to me as though several versions/timestamps of the auctions are operating simultaneously and the "live" site flits between them, but I know nothing about this type of thing
Not complaining, it is a fun option to get cheap, awesome seeds but thought I would see if this can be resolved.
