Well, I got to vent.....not that I expect any results or an answer from GL representative dedicated to this section......
First, the old problem still persists and I believe that is not a glitch but an intended act to not show the bidding ongoing price and the final bid.....for whatever reason it may be
You actually need to move the lot to your watch list in order to see the ongoing price but right after the auction ends no one will know how much it went for.
If you watch from the general pages, lot price show $0 and even after 5:00 that auction may still going but you will see it only if you click in the particular auction
Saw several lots that went at way higher prices few weeks ago and they were back for auction, I just wonder who are those guys that rather waste way over $2,500 in penalty fees instead just pay for what they have bid for, and I am talking about 6~8 lots....
Now the BIG improvement against bidders happen today, several hi-price A3's from OH, VA and PA were up for auction today and I don't know for what reason.......
GL site bumped the auction time A FULL ONE HOUR on all A3 lots, now what I understand is, the rule says 15 minutes increments....BUT...first bids around 4:45 PM bumped the closing time direct to SIX PM......some lots till 6:43 PM with guys fighting for lots for almost 2 hours....the 15 minute rule just took place after they bumped One hour......
And that happen only with those hi-priced lots, I was watching some dump trucks in the same States and they were following the 15 minutes increment just fine.
Here is one of the lots...

Here, from GL web site Q&A:
Q: The close time was listed as 5 p.m. EST, but the lot stayed open well past that time. Why did the auction not close at the specified time?
A: Per Government Liquidation Terms and Conditions, Internet Auction lots close in accordance with the 15-minute rule, which states, "At the scheduled closing time, the lot(s) with active bidding will remain open for fifteen-minute (15) increments until all bidding has ceased". Generally regarding Internet Auction lots- if the bidding box is open, the lot is available for bidding and customers are still able to place a bid.
I understand a web site have some glitches and get updated for the best, now I really cannot understand WHY GL Site that was working perfectly before got updated to get those glitches in![Confused :? :?](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
