This is Bruce Hershenson of eMoviePoster.com. I am posting this to alert you to a problem with our auction host, AuctionAnything.com (the site that hosts the actual auctions, but they do not host our auction galleries).
Beginning on Friday April 10th, AuctionAnything.com had intermittent problems with the stability of their site, resulting in several brief outages over the weekend (you may have noticed this if you went to actually place bids during that time, but of course you might not have gone to the site during those exact brief times, and you would not have noticed the problem if you solely looked at our galleries, and did not actually try to place a bid. The most unfortunate result of this is that we have not been able to upload our new Tuesday night auctions (500 Japanese B2s and 499 half-sheets), and so we currently have no Tuesday auctions (although we have 999 pressbooks closing on Thursday). AuctionAnything.com is working on the problem (they quite kindly waited to do ANYTHING until our Tuesday night auctions were completed, and they closed without a hitch!), and they are now devoting all their resources to it, because this is affecting ALL of the auction companies they host (over 100 of them). We have been on the phone with AuctionAnything.com, and they tell us they think they now have identified the problem and that we SHOULD be able to upload our new Tuesday items first thing Wednesday morning, and when we do so, they will still end Tuesday the 21st, starting at the regular time. Obviously, we very much apologize for the brief outages that have occurred to this point, and apologize for not yet having our new items online. We made the decision to upload our new Tuesday gallery, which contains thumbnails of all the new items, but the gallery does not link to the actual auctions yet (and won't until those items are added on Wednesday), and if you click on the links you will get an error message. But you CAN scroll through all 999 items (500 Japanese B2s and 499 half-sheets), and see images of all of them, and on Wednesday you will be able to bid on any of them, and everything will be back to normal! Of course, beyond tonight, we will keep pressing AuctionAnything.com to be certain that they have resolved their problems so that this situation does not come up again (to be fair to AuctionAnything.com, we have used them to host our auctions for exactly one year, and this is the first time they have had any problem at all!).
