After checking the Mangaya ordering information page, I 
discovered that Mangaya accepts orders for four days after
an upload before holding a lottery or auction.  Perhaps
Mangaya is waiting for this time period to pass as per their
rules and then they can respond to your email stating whether
you got the item or not or have to make a bid.  (I guess that 
clears up the earlier "how long is the period before the 
lottery" question.)

On another note, has Mangaya always updated their sales page
online like this?  I'm guessing it is probably so.  I think
the reason we ran into pricing changing problems this time 
is because so many people pounced on them mid-update due to 
Keep-Track (not that I'm saying Keep-Track is bad ^_^;...).  
It's sort of funny that way.  Mangaya did state in their email
that the earlier page was a mistake, but I realize that not
everyone reading the forum is on their mailing list.  Anyway, 
I now understand why some places like to put up a temporary 
"Please, just a moment" page as many different dealers have 
uploaded pages with problems (missing images, incorrect links, 
template prices instead of real ones), that's why many pages
have a typographical error disclaimer.

Just a couple of observations... I don't want to get into the
big Mangaya debate. ^_^;
