So I had about 150 Order of the Phoenix update cards scheduled on ebay, and I will usually just schedule them for some date out in the future and then push them out as I go a long, having some of them start different nights, a minute a part, and all that jazz.  Well I forgot to push them out so I had 150+ cards all start at the exact time, in the middle of the night, and rather than end them and start them at a better time, I am just going to let it ride....so here is  your chance to pick up some steals on these cards!!!

Oh no! Shocked  I've done the same thing when scheduling auctions. There also used to be a problem when making revisions to scheduled (unlisted) auctions.  Sometimes, even when the revisions were made only to the description, the scheduled date and time would automatically change to the current date and time.  I revised a bunch of auctions one night, and to my horror, each one listed almost immediately, one minute apart.  By the time I realized what had happened, every single auction had been listed.  It was too expensive to cancel them all and lose the listing fees.

Good luck!

I've done that before too but not this many auctions though.  I mis-scheduled about six auctions concurrently w/ Turbolister and had to cancel them (and eat the listing fees cause the alternative was potentially worse).  Best of luck w/ the listings.  I still think you'll be OK and get competitive prices.

lol. I was looking at your auctions last night and added a load to my watch list. Then, I noticed how they were all ending at practically the same time. I was wondering what had happened because it seemed really odd for you to do it that way. Now I know.  Well, expect some bids from me Wink

I couldn't believe it.  All those cards, and I only found one I'm interested in.

Hey - question about the lot of packs. You said there are likely to be film cards included - what about autos, costumes, props, etc?

Thanks!
