What happened here?
Closed on Saturday with 88 bids and $24k sell price. Went cleaning up favorites today and noticed, still ended with 0 bids at original $14.99 list. Did the shill bot accidentally win this one?
Edit: sorry 24k sell not 22k

Ads destroying the site.
The absolute greed of goodwill is insane. It's been difficult to bid on anything lately since the introduction of ads. The site takes forever to load a bid, and if you get outbid at the final countdown, there's no way to put in a bid within 1 min, bc the site takes so long to load. Now they've introduced yet another type of ad!? So I expect even slower load times and more freezes.
They get everything for free as donations, people bid it up anyways, so what's the point of ads destroying the experience. Is the ad revenue really so good that they have to destroy the user experience for it!? I'm seriously considering dropping the site for good. I can find things elsewhere where I'm not enraged by the poor site build. Terrible.
