buyers like me, who rely on sniping software and don’t sit at the computer waiting for auctions to close — probably the majority of major bidders, wouldn’t you expect ?– are kind of off the competitive landscape if they use BidNip. I filed a report with customer service at BidNip and they said they are working on the problem, which seems to be systemwide, but there was no indication of when it might be fixed. So many of the top buyers may be out of luck for awhile. Then again the Turrentine closes in about two and a half hours, ’round about midnight here in New York. Normally past my bedtime, but hmmm…..

By the way, I’ll check out BidNip again either later today or tomorrow morning and post an update in the comments on this post.
