Can anyone see the probelm in this script. It seems to work fine and can even add items to the suction system. Buy and sell and bid. But as soon as we reboot, the AuctionControl has errors loading saved item and so it gets deleted. My suspiscion is the the count numbers are wrong and therefore loading the arrays are the error. But please just look and see if there is some other syntax or coding error I am missing. This system worked for a very long time on version 1.0. It's just on 2.0 where I get the errors.

I think you need to post the AuctionItem script as well since that is probably where the problem is.
