### 2/5 — Bug- next lots in auction

*2024-06-12*

The scroll bar of next lots is defaulting to the end of lots. So if bidding is at lot 450 the scroll bar of next lots is the last 5 or so if the entire auction 2785…etc

### 1/5 — Disatisfied

*2023-01-23*

I have made three phone calls to you regarding the disputed bids on items 1921 and 1921A in the December Annex sale. The first call was answered and I was told I would receive a reply by the end of that day . I received no reply. Since then I have called twice and left a message on voicemail to call me regarding the issue.
I have received no reply to date. Perhaps this message will stir a response.
