Disappearing Auctions????

[LongueCarabine]

Anyone else notice auctions disappearing from GL in the past 24-48 hours? I was following some items, all of a sudden they are gone before the stated auction times.

Anyone have insight into why this happens?

Thanks,

Probably the same reason auctions slated for a certain week mysteriously get put back a week when there is a glut of a certain item that week depressing the prices so they spread them out and the reason because they can.

Don't give up hope entirely. About half the time the items are listed again soon. Also sometimes the items were not to be sold at all and someone made a mistake. Good Luck!

GL can pull items for any reason they see fit.

Sometimes an item is flagged by the gooberment for some obscure reason and GL removes it or them.

Selling items for less than they are worth has never stopped GL before.

Had one on my watchlist that vanished the day I went to bid, I called the GL man there and he said that one of the items in the pile of several had been misidentified in the inventory. He assured me the number had been corrected and it was to go back through quarrantine and look for it in May......

I had a generator that I had bid on @ Picatinny vanish, auction wasn't over so I guess they can do that.

I think they are having computer issues right now. So is GSA for that matter.

Looks like it's still occurring, maybe? Nothing looks the same as before, and there sure doesn't seem to be much stuff coming up.......

They seem to be restructuring the site slightly.. separating the pure scrap from the other stuff.
