[kk405]

Then I guess it’s yours... I just thought there was one, as I haven’t seen a recent auction without the clock.

$1630

I just realized there's no 5 minute rule in the OP, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I think that would give you the winning bid, no?

 

[SixSpeedFury]

It's come down to sniping lol.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

I forgot to put a 5 minute rule in so it looks like the final bid is @Frank with his 2:30 CST bid of $1610.

PM me your full address please and I'll figure out shipping costs for you Frank.

Thanks all for bidding.

Agreed, but might need a moderator ruling. The auction guidelines on PCF say you “must” have the rules as posted, which include the 5 minute rule.

 

[Frank]

Yeah I honestly didn't notice that until after I bid. Not trying to break any rules.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Ah I guess I missed that rule.

So if that's the case then I guess the final bid would be 1630 but its still Frank who would have won so I'm fine with just the 2:30 bid of 1610 unless the bidding needs to be opened up for another 10 minutes or something to be fair for kk405 to have a chance?

@Tommy do we just have the bidding end with Franks 1610 or should we open it back up so KK405 has a chance being he did bid within the 5 minute after ending?

 

[kk405]

I think everyone realizes that it was a mixture of honest mistakes and misunderstandings. I am good with whatever decision is made

 

[SixSpeedFury]

I say re-open the bidding and allot a 10 minute period.

 

[Tommy]

Citing rule #8.

I would suggest awarding it to the bidder per the rules that were stated in the FP.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Alright so if we go with the rules I had posted in my OT then the bidding ending at 2:30 CST so @Frank is the winner with a bid of $1610.

Sorry for all the confusion folks. I'll make sure I copy the auction rules next time so we don't run into this in the future.

I am assuming you’re referring to this:
8. PCF (it's Owner, Admins, and Moderators) are in no way responsible for any actions in this auction.

You could have probably cited anything, but number 8, really? I guess some of us will always be treated differently. I get it. Your site. Your rules.

You either took that completely wrong OR just wanted to put your own spin on it. At least two people asked for a ruling/clarification. I was simply saying that I prefer not to get involved in other people's transactions but lent my opinion anyway to help out.

If there is no 5 minute rule and the auction stated an end time of 2:30PM CST, not 2:30 and 59 seconds CST, I would argue the bid that arrived stamped 2:30 is void because there is no 5 minute rule and the last legal bid would have been the 2:28 bid by @kk405
