I forget if this is the proper place to discuss auction information.
However, it seems the best -- unless the best is lugnet.general. But I
thought to start it here and see how it goes.
I want to say before continuing that I like Todd Lehman. I appreciate
what he has done. I really love the LugNET server (though I've been
too busy of late to do much more than scan.)
However, I just received my AucZILLA winnings (Uh. Auczilla 7, I
believe. The only auction I participated in) It is now December. This
was an auction that took place last (?) summer? Perhaps even April-May
time period -- so long ago that I don't even really remember what I
won or why I bid at all in the auction. So how can I check that I
received the parts that I was supposed to? (I trust Todd, as I said.
But I have had missing parts before even in packages put out by people
I trust. We're all human)
If it was _anyone_ other than Todd, a 6 month delay in receiving
winnings would be making me quite upset. In that time, I have
participated in other auctions -- even some that are fairly large
(though none as big as Todd's I will admit), received all winnings,
found mistakes, and received the replacements for the mistakes!
I don't know a solution to this. But I think that something is broken
with AucZILLA and I just want to know if I'm the only one that feels
this way. Or if I'm missing something? There are obviously a LOT of
people who are quite happy with the way things are going and go on
planning projects months ahead of time. So I know there is something I
must be missing.

| Sarah, I am inclined to agree with you. I participated in two AucZilla auctions and waited what I felt was too long to receive my winnings. Now, what did I win?, what did I want to build?...... I therefore have decided not to take part in AucZilla (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.market.auction)

| Perhaps a Princess... ...valid questions... <snip> I started back into Lego just before Auczilla 7 (A7), and was very happy to find out about parts auctions. Here was a way to bulk up on needed pieces without having to buy entire sets. I entered (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.market.auction)

| (...) I don't know that anything is "broken" with AucZILLA, I just think that the size of the auction is just far too huge for two people to run with any hope of speed if they actually want to have real lives. I know it took me a matter of weeks to (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.market.auction)

| (...) You received regular updates; didn't you save one? (...) I've never experienced a mistake with AucZILLA. If I did, I'm sure it would be corrected immediately. AucZILLA may have a long delivery time, but I feel that is more than compensated for (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.market.auction)
