That's one of the dangers of waiting to bid on Mandarake. The site is known for crashing, especially during massive bid wars. I really don't understand why they don't get more bandwidth, server space or whatever would help that issue. Can you imagine if YJ crashed as much as Mandy does?

Truly irritating.

Sorry to hear you missed out on something.

Hopefully something better will come along, chin up!

The site has been down since very erly this morning - way
before the auctions ended. I am not sure what is up with it,
plus it is still down.

Good thing I was able to order my Zenbu, though - so its
obviously not the entire site that is down.

Did someone say "Zenbu"?

A new BWA! Huzzah! I'm looking forward to being broke again already!

Not only was it down for me, but I was also getting a 403 error message telling me I was forbidden access to that website.

I've had terrible thoughts going through my head trying to figure out what I had done to make Mandy so angry at me.

Thank goodness I already had my Zenbu on the way.....

Hey everyone, its been awhile since I have made a post. Thought I would just say Mandarake is working for me now, so I assume that means it is back up and running for everyone else.

Ah.....its good to be back.

Haha, I would be happy to satisfy those minds.

Half the reason I have been so scarce on here is because I am dealing with my final year of high school. Thank God I am a senior!

That being said, homework and activities have taken a large chunk of my time.

The second reason isn't so general though. My grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago and so my family has been dealing with all of that. Thank you for everyone who kept her in your thoughts and prayers, I was very appreciative of that.

So now that I have some more free time I get a chance to actually post. Oh and look for another, rather large, update again. Nothing quite so planned out and ridiculous as the last one, but still up there.

Thanks for asking wELCOME cONSUMER, I know I can always count on you for a follow up inquiry.

It's good to have you back. I'm glad your senior year is going well. Enjoy it to the fullest!

I remember the situation with your grandmother. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. Thanks for answering the grueling questions.

Just wanted to let you know, Mandarake had this to say about the down time:

We were having trouble on the server for Mandarake Everyday Auction a few hours ago and we apologise for any inconviniences caused. Due to the connection failure, auction items which are supposedly end on the 11th of Dec (24:00 Japan time) will have an extension of another 24hours.
Thank you for your understanding.

Looks like you'll have a chance to bid on those lost goodies
