Auction Games Thread from Yesterday

[Let'sGoBraves]

Someome started this yesterday and it was closed. Not sure why it cannot be discussed. Anyway, same thing happened to me last week. In the morning an Andrew Jones card was posted for a low opening bid compared to what it had been going for, the opening was 11,000 if I remember correctly. 11 hours and 45 minutes remained. No "Buy It Now" was listed with 1 bid in. I actually set an alarm on my phone to remember to come back that evening. When I returned the only Andruw Jones card listed, and the rating matched, was now listed with 20 or more hours remaining with a starting bid of 75,000. Not sure how that happened as it was stated yesterday that it cannot before the thread was closed. I calculated correctly when to check back on the auction.

Was it closed or was it moved to the Auction House sub forum? They have a whole sub forum for Auction House discussions.

Is the inability to cancel auctions a new feature? Because I recall being able to cancel an auction after a bid was placed a couple weeks ago and thinking it was strange that I could do that. Maybe there is a bug that allows for cancellation after a bid sometimes?

Cancelling an auction only works if there are zero bids.

Then you simply missed that that card indeed had a buy-now price. Otherwise what you describe is technically impossible.
