Same thing happened to me with Amoskeag. It was a while back, but I submitted a written bid the eveniong before the auction. The fine print stated that the bids must be in by 8pm, and I had sent it in around 10:30. The next day, I saw that it went for less than my bid, and I waited several days, and had no word from them, so presumed they did not accept my late bid.
I was weighing that piece with another on GB, so went ahead and bought the GB gun. 17 days later I got an invoice from Amoskeag. It didn't brake the bank but I didn't need to buy two identical guns.
To add insult to this, they have never sent me a catalog. Every other firm where I did bid successfully has sent me a catalog. Little details like that turn me off from future business. If they have something I can't live without, not likely at this stage in my life, I'll either ride up there or phone bid.
