Auction Empress Star $20 - 1 barrel (1 Viewer)

[navels]

After a flurry of trades to get a few more barrels of these I somehow have ended up with one more barrel than I need.

Chips are as pictured: mint and unplayed.

********************
RULES

1. STARTING BID: $60
2. Bids must be placed in minimum increments of $5
3. The Starting Bid of the auction will be treated as the Reserve Price.
4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.
5. Auction will use the '5 minutes after last closing bid rule'. Highest bid at 8 pm Pacific on Monday December 17, 2018 will win unless there is a bid within 5 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be 5 min. after the latest bid was posted. See the additional notes on this rule below.
6. Edited posts will be voided.
7. I reserve the right to: i) cancel the auction if no bids have been made; ii) edit the listing to correct errors or clarify rules as needed.
8. PCF (it's Owner, Admins, and Moderators) are in no way responsible for any actions in this auction.
9. Shipping Terms: Winner responsible for actual shipping costs (will ship internationally)
10. Payment Terms: Preferably PayPal F&F

Additional notes regarding the 5-minute rule: I am taking "within 5 minutes" to mean "less than or equal to 5 minutes from". And given that forum post times do not show down to the second, please be careful not to wait too long. I will consider all posts to have been made precisely at the time shown in the post, i.e., at 0 seconds after the minute. So if the bidding is

Joe at 8:04
Sally at 8:09
Joe at 8:15

then Joe's final bid is not "within 5 minutes" of the previous bid and Sally's bid at 8:09 is the winner.

I can't tell. I don't see a time posted in the post. My laptop said 8:00 when I posted it...

I know, I can't totally tell either. It said 8:02 on my phone and 1 minute ago on your post.

If you hover over the 'x minutes ago' text, it provides a timestamp. It looks like mine didn't post to the server until 8:01

Edit: Tommy beat me to it. My bid is invalid.

A crying baby saved me money lol

 

[DMZ]

Does that mean my bid of $145 stands as the winning bid? I'm thinking probably it should.

 

[navels]

oh ffs

Unfortunately that's the downside of running auctions on a forum platform. Even the countdown timers on eBay are off sometimes or will skip ahead at a faster rate (I'm sure we all seen that before) when it re-syncs to the server time.

Doesnt this "unless there is a bid within 5 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be 5 min. after the latest bid was posted." mean the bidding is open until 8:05?

Good to know if it doesnt. I was considering making a bid at 8:04.
