Just go this note from Pool.com:
"As you may be aware, much of Eastern US and Canada were affected by a major cascade power failure. As a result, the Internet in these areas suffered network infrastructure failures that may have affected access to the Pool.com website.
Accordingly Pool.com has chosen to extend all auctions that were due to close today, August 15, 2003 by 24 hours.
Pool.com is fully operational for today's drop.
Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this situation."
