UPDATE: Nov (Early) Sale delayed 24 hours due to national Optus outage

8th Nov 2023

As a result of the ongoing challenges posed to clients as a result of the current Optus outage, the decision has been made to defer the final countdown of bidding for the Inglis Digital November (Early) catalogue to 10am tomorrow, Thursday November 9^th.

“This is a most unfortunate situation and one that is affecting people right across Australia,” Inglis Digital Business Manager Nick Melmeth said.

“At this stage, no details have been forthcoming from Optus as to when the issue will be resolved, so the only reasonable step for us is to defer the sale for a day, noting the huge volume of our customers who are affected by the outage.

“The ramifications of the outage are widespread – not only does it inhibit our communication with buyers and vendors in advance of and during the sale, but it also presents challenges for post-sale logistics, including the arrangement of transport of lots amongst many other things.

“Hopefully the issue can be resolved in the intervening time and the sale can proceed in a manner that allows full participation for all clients tomorrow.''
