Excellent! Thanks for that strong bid right out of the gate. If no more bids are placed then deslok will win. Also quick thing: please post your bids instead of PMing them. Only fair to everyone to see the bids and know where they stand.

I should've placed one in the details but forgot. Out of fairness I won't be adding one since the auction has begun. I'll have one next time though. Sorry!

so... does that mean that people can just snipe the last second...? (not bidding but just pointing out what could happen)

i guess we're only allowed one decimal now (although .01btc is roughly a nickel not a penny)

Damn, really need to make sure I add an minimum increment next time. Looks like without it bidding can be a massive pain in the arse.  :-\

Anyways thanks to everyone who has bid so far! We are right under 20 minutes left.

Out of curiosity, what would you set as the minimum bidding interval?

The lowest you can set it on eBay, the equivalent to $0.01 USD in BTC. I'd go as far the bitcoin allows (as I think it's a cool feature it can be broken down that far), but I don't want people outbidding people constantly and making it so you can leave your computer until the auction is over. I do think $0.01 is fair though, and I'd hope people who really wanted it would take the step to bidding more than $0.01 at a time. :)

Just under 7 minutes...

So you would set the minimum increment to 2 mBC?

Would if I could. Will be set to that next time I auction something along with a minimum first bid (for this one it would have been something like 1-1.5 BTC) to make sure things start off on the right foot.

Due to my shit-tastic Internet this deal kind of went dark for a day. Just like my Internet though...it's back on. :D Sent Peter the $25 gift card first due to my circumstances inconveniencing him I'm sure. All I'm waiting for now is the bitcoin and we're good to go, and I've got faith he'll send them when he has time. :)

Once I get the bitcoins I'll update this thread once more and then lock it.

I'll have another auction or two next week -- thanks for interest everyone!
