I was able to pull up the expired auctions from my emails.  It shows me as the highest bidder and the auction is closed.

But it doesn't show it as won in my account.

This looks like a complete mess.

The site kind of back up but it's not showing won actions unless I lost them all, or they extended the time.

Last I seen it at was $710, small locker 6 x 4.  Total Gamble, I have some theories about it and it has something to do with my signature.

I'm hoping I got the $10 one, I think I'll get at least $350 from home depot.

I won't travel more then 30 miles to get something, I don't even look if it's over that and I only buy when I have room and I don't even look otherwise.

I have a trailer so most lockers fit in 1 load, sometimes 2, depending on weight.

vanillagorilla,

 You're only going to get one of them, I took the other from you. I was going to let you have it, but my dad wanted it for some odd reason.. I don't think it's worth the price it was bid up to.

Looks like your wish has come true.

We'll see what happens, can't wait to take the $10 locker to home depot..

I'm not the right person, I know all about it, but I'm not the person to lay out the plan. I'm a developer and I work on the server administration team. I can script and code and that's my primary job function to automate a lot of processes.

I would contact amazon and talk to their sales people and get a free consultation from them, because you are thinking about using their products.  We do that all the time here, we bring in multiple vendors, ask them all kinds of questions. Draw out the scenarios and have them prepare quotes and then we choose one of the vendors. That cost should be free, they are trying to earn your business.

Amazon..

Name:
3-Tier Auto-scalable Web Application Solution
Includes:
1 Load Balancer, 2 Web Servers, 2 App Servers, 1 High Availability Database Server, 30 GB of Storage; 120 GB of Data Transfer

This is $1240 a month..

Now, if your data transfer goes to 100 Terrabytes a month, it's more like 20,000 monthly.. If you need more servers to handle the load cause the code is a processing hog, then it goes up.

You won't know what you need, best to hire a consultant and build a solution and project different scenario's and be able to scale to those solutions when needed.

I hope it stays down for another 30 minutes, I would love to see how this plays out. Theirs one locker I bid on that's going to straight back to home depot.

Reliability cost $$, where I work as a systems administrator we have to load test all our environments to ensure issues like that don't happen. Paying for Bandwidth, Clustered Server, Load Balancers gets very costly. We're talking 100's of thousands you have to invest in infrastructure and that hardware needs to be refreshed.

Or you leverage amazon cloud services and just pay a monthly charge and let them do the work, I have no clue what external services charge for high availability under crushing load.

But the good news is, if you have that much load, you should be generating a lot of $$ to pay for these costs.

The site is completely down now... Some auctions are ending and people can't run the final bid up.. They told me they will not reset the timer, we'll see how that plays out.

I was able to place bids on 3 of them knowing that the site was crashing, we'll see what happens and what I end up stealing.

I called them and they said they had 100,000 users on the site and it was causing it to crawl and not function properly..

Storage Battles

I think their site's under a DOS attack, because It's not working :/
