Shanghai completes mock car plate sale
Print Edition
A SECOND attempt to test the government’s new online license plate auction system went relatively smoothly yesterday, despite an initial glitch that delayed the start by several minutes.
A total of 76,865 people registered to bid for 5,000 mock plates in the simulation, about 7,400 more than the number of participants in a similar event on June 14, which resulted in the system’s servers crashing due to a data overload after 44 minutes.
Yesterday’s sale was scheduled to start at 7:30pm but was delayed by eight minutes.
“I was worried that the system was going to crash at the very beginning this time,” a bidder surnamed Sun told Shanghai Daily.
Despite the initial setback, the auction ran its course, finishing at 8:30pm with the award of the 5,000 mock plates.
However, with the new website-based system scheduled to go live on Saturday, sale operator Shanghai Commodity International Auction Co still has work to do.
Sun said that during the final minute of the sale, the system time on the website interface kept changing, which made the countdown “very confusing.”
Another person claiming to be a bidder said via Weibo that he was concerned about the spurious error messages.
“I was told I’d failed the browser test for ‘using a Chrome-core browser,’ when I was actually using IE (Explorer) as required,” the person wrote.
