I found a lot I wanted to bid on, auctions end tonight. It won't let me register because the auction has started. What an idiotic thing to do. They are losing out on a lot of bucks because of this rule, and I am losing out on a lot of cards I may not see for sale for a while.

I don't know if it is idiotic -- they need to protect consignors on potentially multiple-thousand dollar deals. If you have friends in the hobby that have collected for awhile, surely many of them have bidding accounts with Mastro and would be happy to bid on your behalf until you can get your registration finalized.
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

Maybe they're too busy "smoothing out" problems that have come to their attention.

ZING!
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
I was having MAJOR issues the other night veiwing the page, even when I opened the auction in a new window and went back I had to end program and log in again. I was watching a bunvh of items and only bid on 2, I am a bit sketched out about auction houses now
From time to time many of these places are slow . It's nothing really to worry about . I'm sure everyone wants to know everything and not now , but right now . Even in the information age , things get bogged down from time to time .
Won't you be the happy camper though once these items arrive .
I hate to wait for anything and when stuff like this happens to me , I just need someone to tell me , everything is gonna be alright .
I do know where yer commin from and it's completely understandable.
well i didn't win anything, I ended up placing 2 bids. Strange part was I received emails about 2 am that I was outbid? I thought the bidding stopped on each lot 30 minutes after the closing time or 30 minutes have passed when the auction recieved no bids? Since my TOP bid was only 10% higher than the last bid, how could I be outbid more than 30 minutes after the end of the auction? Does that make any sense I am getting more and more sketched out by the "major" auction houses.

Didn't Mastro's latest auction first start closing on the 25th?
