Normal service probably made worse by long drought, or maybe well primed fff, or maybe da bots! I did notice a few signals that things were about to go open. Maybe I will look out for them on the next bling loan, if I can remember them that long😊

Well that certainly proved that there's plenty of appetite for bling.

Another shambles, clock ends but still can't bid. Then all gone. It was a bit strange, I had the same problem

I think it is pretty useless that I make the effort to be logged in on time and request £1000, then when only £500 remains, COL send me a message to tell me that only £500 is available and would I like to invest that. Why not bloody well give me the £500, rather than send that message, when in the time it takes to click "yes", the loan is passed to someone else and I get nowt?
This can be avoided by altering the bidding to authorize up to £1000, rather than £1000 or risk getting nothing!
(The figures are fiction, but this happened to me today!)
edit:... and yes, I also had to try to bid four times after the restriction had ended, three times still getting the message that I couldn't bid until the restriction was lifted.
Gordon, this is unacceptable.

No surprise that this was quickly taken by a handful of people. Every man and his dog new that it was going to happen, aside from Collateral that is.

I've had that many times, just allocate what's available. Common sense. Why do we need to confirm anyway? It's just another thing to slow the system down.

When you have hundreds of prospectors floundering around in a dusty mine chasing after a few elusive diamonds, there is likely to be a bit of head-clashing, and only a few lucky winners. Probably few systems could cope. Perhaps the only mistake was setting the bid limit too low, but our auctioneer, who is usually very accurate at setting the bar, is probably a little out of practice.

So was that supposed to be 1:58, 1:59, or 2:00 pm. I tried as 1:58 and not allowed, then at 1:59 and not allowed, then at 1:59:15 and it was all gone. WTH Collateral this is getting beyond a joke. This is the first loan in ages that I've wanted into and I don't even get the chance.
