Faster than a speeding bullet...and it's gone :-(

Hi, Guy -

I really need some help understanding how the "auction queue" works.

The other day I requested that some nearby land be put up for auction, and you very kindly responded yesterday that you had put it in the queue. Well, I checked the auctions all day long; I even went to the property yesterday and checked several times. It was "set" at auction, but there was no way to bid. It also never showed up on the SL auction page, nor could I see or select it in the Find Auction option in the game. I just now checked under closed auctions, and it's now listed there as having closed yesterday without bids...even though I was watching for it all day long. (Auction #26199023)

I kindof had the impression that land shows up on the auction page, stays there for 1-2 days, then rolls off. How could I have missed this? Or, how does it really work?

(I'd also really appreciate it if you'd put Newman (176,31) back up for sale/auction, too, as it looks like it didn't sell....)

Thanks,
Rachel

Hello Rachel. You were correct in thinking there are at least two days to bid on a live auction. It looks like we had a snafu with four plots that went to the auction page and closed before anyone could bid on them. Newman is back on the live auction page now.
