This was supposed to be fun, it was not. It was not a pleasant experience for anyone looking forward to a DD1 Podium.
Fanatec might have seen this as a great way to promote their new wheel base, but personally for me it was a terrible experience. I think I won an auction, but I can't find anyone to talk to about it and I didn't exactly agree on the price. I was hopelessly bidding and won, I think I bid over myself twice since each auction closed within second and didn't leave the minute delay between bids.
Would appreciate if someone at Fanatec reached out to me or dm'ed me on reddit aznshrek88
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.
How so? I have had 3 or 4 successful bids in a single auction. Are you sure you're not confused with people saying once you win one auction you cannot bid anymore?

I noticed on unit 8 I had a winning bid but it registered 2 bids when I only clicked it once. Luckily I can keep going.

No I meant that is what's causing the rapid bidding resulting in prices landing over retail. Everyone hitting "place bid" multiple times
Maybe this is like some kind of physc experiment to see how long people will stick around? Longest waiting to big actually gets a deal once everyone else quits?
Havent clicked the bid button once since I knew something like this would happen. Have to weed out the auction griefers and ppl who don't know how an auction is won, then you can have a chance at a decent deal.

Gotcha, I understand. My mistake.
I need it cheap so I can buy the McLaren wheel at the same time. Then I will be happy and go about my week excited.
looks like they put the server out of it's misery without fulfilling their 30 units under $970 commitment.
I saw 5 units sold... then 13. But every time it only indicated that bid closed or timer that wasn't moving. Then I get the dreaded message saying site unavailable and won't load. I couldn't bid even if I wanted to... not a lot of fun. Again.
That person that drives a bit over MSRP runs the risk of "winning" that invalid auction and cannot bid again for the rest of the auction. Same with that person bidding over 30 times.
I try to bid but I bid on 210 then suddenly goes to 480 and then gets stuck on that price, then I never see the next item number try to reload and gets forever to load and same thing over and over.......

Again, patience, they will get weeded out.
I like where your heads at Fred. Need some caffeine to stay up though hahaha
I'm not entirely sure all the multiple bidding is on purpose. I see "place bid" on Unit 15 at $831. I might hit that button... nothing happens... so hit it a few more times. Some people may have done that in the hope of getting one of their bids in, not realizing that there are technical issues underneath. (I won't as I think the auction is completely broken and overloaded, so therefore simply not working the way it should). Most unfortunate.
Anyone else getting spammed? I haven’t bid for 5 auctions now and keep getting emails stating I lost. Also, price doesn’t include shipping.
I haven't got loads like I was getting where I could get one bid in. Now I am waiting for the auction to slow up a bit and maybe doing one or two at a good price. Seen one person bid on 3 auctions after he already won.
