He's not happy (and the seller shouldn't be, either...his lot could have finished much higher). He would have liked the auction to have been extended for another 24 hours, after the problem was resolved. He missed the e-mail from Clink as he was already asleep. There may be no way to fix this without someone getting upset, but I can say for right now, the consignor has the most reason to be dissatisfied. Hopefully he and Clink can still figure something out. 24 hours is too long in my opinion. I feel it was handled appropriately. Does it stink it happened? Sure. But CL responded VERY quickly to the matter. If there's a technical issue in the future and it affects something you're bidding on, my advice would be to wait until a resolution is announced.

I really don't know the market well and I'd have to say I'm a very novice collector who enjoys buying a piece now and then. I'm sure I paid more than I should have, but I just wanted to have a few new "neat" pieces. Here's what I bought: Peter Bagge $433 I love Peter Bagge... great pickup.

Mr. Machismo Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Finally won something, at my max bid, no less. Fabok's first Detective cover, and the first appearance of someone I've never heard of Was just edged out as the underbidder on his Batman Annual Freeze cover that went up recently, so a nice consolidation.

Mr. Machismo Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Do the consigners have any recourse with such a technical issue? Like, requesting a relisting or requesting the piece back? Sure, the chance of consigning again is reduced, but that doesn't help the situation at hand. 24 hours seems the most reasonable to me. Anything less and what Felix outlined might happen, which isn't great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comix4fun Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There wasn't much that caught my eye this time around, except one piece. Always like the idea behind the Maestro character...and I dig the trophy hunter aspect....for some reason. The messed up proportions, color palette, distorted facial expression and overall style had me coming back to this one over and over. thirdgreenham and SquareChaos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, I don't think there are many solutions that wouldn't upset someone,, it's just a guess , but maybe comiclink would wave their 10% sellers fee to try and appease the sellers?

That piece reminded me of the red skulls trophy room in old man Logan, with all the dead heroes signature items.

Dick O. Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 If I were a seller, my concern wouldn't just be confined to those items missed during the downtime, but all items offered AFTER the downtime too. As a buyer, my immediate assumption upon the crash was that the remainder of the auction would be postponed to another day. In fact, since the downtime lasted so long, I'd stopped checking CLink and moved on to other things. I only rejoined the auction because someone notified me via facebook that it was back up!

I only rejoined the auction because someone notified me via facebook that it was back up! while I did participate in the auction - I didn't realize the 'crash' until reading about them here last night. I used alarms I set to get me to look when items I was interested in were closing. I find this helps me avoid bidding on items impulsively (something I did early on -when watching auctions and getting caught up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Machismo Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 They should really do whatever they can to fix that, given it's not the first time. That said, kudos to them for shipping out my piece already – that was quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
