TowForce Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 3 hours ago, Lori Parish said: Who is in charge. Auction is not fair. Okay, I see it now... The correction which was made previously was in error. You had Bid $20.00 on Item #10 and the Bid was placed on Item #11. This would have been caught when the bidding was nearing the end. In fact I made the decision to add current bidders to the Auction which is being conducted by Wes Wilburn and April Wilburn. It is fair, just an error.
