Anybody have trouble with Proxibid internet bidding on the Benson auction today?? I was signed up, downloaded all the software updates and logged in live. Tried to bid on a sign and the auction never took my bid (I'm on DSL not dial-up). I watched helplessly while the sign went for less than half of my planned top bid price!! Very frustrating and inexcusable!!

I had trouble with the audio all day and it also locked up a few times. You would think proxibid would have right by now!!!

I was bidding live through proxibid today..I bid on a globe right before it closed and it accepted it and said I was in the lead only to find it went to an "onsite" bidder for less than my bid. Who knows? I wasnt incredibly mad because it was going on the credit card but would have loved it for more than it closed for. I think some items were a real bargain...especially the globe i wanted..er ah globes...LOL

I agree, audio was hit and miss but then again I can live with out it. Bid lots of times got outbid all but once. Think I got a very good price on my first globe. Larry B

It was very jerky trying to bid with the sound on I shut it off turned on some music and it seemed to be flawless after that.I even managed to get my first 2 globes.Lots 557 and 628.I'm very happy and excited to get them.
Got Socony???

We turned the sound off, it was too confusing. Thought we had lost the Power Diesel globe because they passed on it but they went back to it!
Managed to win that and the mobilgas special (one piece). Both are english globes so im glad to bring them back over here.
