OpenPay .com Auction Restarted – Verification Required

Yesterday, I wrote about the OpenPay.com auction hitting the $500,000 mark in auction at DropCatch.com. This afternoon, I received an email from DropCatch announcing that the auction would be restarted.

Here’s what I was sent:

“Due to complications involving non-payment, the following auctions you had participated in are being restarted.

All participants of the original auction are being included automatically with their initial bid placed automatically.
Please visit the Auctions page to view all currently active auctions and participate in these re-auctions.”

If you visit the auction page, there’s a notification at the top stating that bidders will need to be verified for bids over $75,000. At the moment, the high bid is $75,003, so anyone who participates in the auction will need to be verified by the platform.

Although the email mentioned “non-payment,” I suspect the auction was restarted so bidders could be verified prior to the close of bidding. That’s just a guess though. There are just shy of 3 days remaining until the auction concludes.
