[AT] OT - Proxibid

[Bill Brueck]

Good evening, Mike.

I've not encountered the error you're reporting.  I'm using IE 9 for my
Proxibid stuff and I allow the current MS and Java patches to come through
as they are available.  

I haven't had problems with actual code errors.  I just find it's clumsy to
navigate.  There are times when I just have to exit the auction and log in
again from the top for want of navigation.  And the eventual auction bill
comes as an .html attachment from the local auctioneer clerk whose name I
didn't know.  So I came pretty close to trashing it as spam for fear of an
infected attachment.  I don't open stuff if I don't know who it's from and
why.  

I looked up the general message you're getting...I'm afraid the answer was
too technical for me.

Hang in there...it does work.  I figure it can only be good news to me if
the facility is defective...maybe some competing bidders won't be persistent
enough to stick with it.

Let us know how you make out with Proxibid, and with the sale!

Hi Bill,
Wow you are right about the software being clunky! I just registered for an
account and tried to view a few live auctions to get my feet wet for
tomorrows auction. I keep getting a JNLP.jsp issue that I can't seem to get
past. What browser do you use to accesss their site?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I have an account with Proxibid and use it every month or so at a
relatively local auction. The major issue I needed to ascertain before I
used them was to see if I needed to attend to the auction while it was in
process. Nope: you can put in your max bid and it will only be ratcheted up
if you have a contesting bidder.

I find the software to be a little klunky, I'd lose my customers if I wrote
software that way, but it's certainly usable. It sure is nice not to have to
go stand around all day. Of course, I'm a little vulnerable not getting to
see the items in person, and I miss my brat with kraut from the chuckwagon.
But the system itself has worked well for me.

Hi All, there's a large consignment auction about 1-1/2 hr from me that has
a few items I would like to bid on. These are new items so inspecting them
beforehand isn't as much of an issue for me. They use the Proxibid system, I
was wonderig if anyone has used that, and if so, how does it work? If I
don't need to burn the fuel to get there in person it would be nice. 
Thanks,
Mike M
