VTA Stallion Auction?

Postby pokeyman » Sun Feb 07, 2010 5:18 am

Does anyone know if this auction is closed? I went to website and it said "Note new date 2/17" but there is no link to page.

Also, if anyone knows of a Giacomo season still available via auction site please PM me. Thanks!

Pokeyman ; I do know that they had some computer " gremlins " which may have caused them to switch the date. Probably best thing is to give them a call.
Bring 'em back tired ; but bring 'em back sound !

Ok, thanks. I did call; no answer....

Hopefully, someone will get my message and call back but nothing yet. *sigh*

This e-mail just in:

As of last Friday, all of the information on our webpage (www.vabred.org) including the bidder number information was current and operating properly.

Unfortunately, I walked into the office this morning to discover that something has gone wrong with our homepage and related stallion auction pages. For our stallion auction pages, none of our new 2010 information is showing – somehow, our information has reverted to 2009. I have a call in to our webmaster, in hopes of fixing this tremendous problem as quickly as possible.

I hope this helps for the moment. Please do check back to our webpage www.vabred.org throughout the day, since, as I mentioned, I am working on getting the bugs out of the system – the stallion roster, pre-registration form and all other auction-related information should be back up shortly.

There really is. I was interested in the Mizzen Mast season but we ended up going to a different stallion through an agent.

Good luck to anyone bidding!
