    That's just insane. Is it made of gold?

    Currrent bid #24 at $3000. That is not functional.
    If won the highest bidder only pays MSRP, correct?
    No they just cancel and pre-order.

    Highest you'll pay is $1000... Auction needs a cut-off at that price

    Well then waiting for the auction would have been pointless when you could have just pre-ordered. :)

    Working as intended?

    I think the auction may have issues as not one unit shows as being sold for the advertised as $970 or less.
  • Ricardo Da SilvaRicardo Da Silva Member
    i guess they're all going for retail value
  • Joel BarsottiJoel Barsotti Member
    So you know the problem is you need fewer than 100 people that want to participate otherwise it's always going to be retail price.

    at this rate, this auction will never end
  • Joe ColeJoe Cole Member
    It’s a waiting game. Eventually people will lose interest and/or need to sleep. That’s when I’ll scoop one up for $961! Can’t wait! :-p

    dear fanatec,

    please focus on building a great wheel, you guys suck at software engineering.
  • Ricardo Da SilvaRicardo Da Silva Member
    We will stop the auction sessions after 30 units (for US)

    I guess not
  • Joel BarsottiJoel Barsotti Member
    looks like they are capping them now just under retail. lame
  • Joe ColeJoe Cole Member
    Every time an auction finishes at >$1k, the “winner” is no longer allowed to bid anymore. We are now on item #34, so 34 people are unable to bid because they “won” an auction already... Patience...

    I was finally able to get the page to load for a few seconds before I received socket timeouts. I looked at the 4191 history and it was the same user bidding against himself about 10 times in a row. An auction system should not let you bid again if you are the current winning bid.
  • Joe ColeJoe Cole Member
    The cap is for units that sell for less than $970. None have stayed under $1k yet, so no units have sold yet.

    It's ok. I'll just stick with my CSL elite PS4. It is serving me well
  • Joe ColeJoe Cole Member
    That person bidding repeatedly is just going to win at over $1k and then won’t be able to bid anymore on the next and all future auctions.
  • Lester DietzLester Dietz Member
    Selling a unit in less then a minute. Why stop selling if your Fanatec.

    I think I just fell into that boat. 
    I know Fanatec doesn't owe me anything, but I've been excited about an opportunity to get a deal. There are no deals to be had, this auction is a terrible disappointment for anyone that was excited about it. The christmas auctions where the price was preset would've been better, just random bidding until somebody got a deal.  That I could understand, this is just poorly thought out.
  • Joseph GossenJoseph Gossen Member, Moderator
    Great so now that we who won a bid over the retail price and invalid are out in the cold as they work on fixing it in the process. Not impressed at all. 
  • Joel BarsottiJoel Barsotti Member
    Oh wow, I guess I got the one for $4191, go me!!!!

    Now I can't bid at all.

    As long as the price hits $970 they said there is no limit to amount of auctions, I think I understood.
  • Shonn YangShonn Yang Member
    guess they went for reatail price
  • Thomas LittonThomas Litton Member
    50 units all MSRP but 2?
  • Joel BarsottiJoel Barsotti Member
    looks like they put the server out of it's misery without fulfilling their 30 units under $970 commitment.

  • Lauryn SloanLauryn Sloan Member
    what a waste of time that was
  • David DeGreefDavid DeGreef Member
    Poorly executed promotion, disappointment as after bid closed a new one never started. Had to re-enter auction and by that time it had sold several units and current one was well beyond the $970 cut off.

    Still going, hopefully it slows down so I can grab one a steal and I will be happy.. hopefully it doesnt take all night with these bidders who like to press the button 100 times.

    It's a catch 22. If you can only bid once per auction no one will bid and this is why we have people bidding 100 times. Should have been pre-selected prices that if you land on it you win. End of story.
