You're right, I took too long to post from my wet iphone screen. You won the auction! Thanks everyone for participating and if you could send me mailing address, delivery phone and emergency email, I'll send you a bitcoin address for immediate payment. Cheers

Looks like you didnt understand the rules... 63
last possible bid would have been 09:32:12 AM... and then incremented in 1 minute steps deadlines. You passed this limit by 24 seconds... 64

The title says 24hours and not number of seconds, and seller was acting as a counter this whole time. I could've posted my bid a minute sooner, but his message pooped up saying that there still was another minute...

I think that the bid counts because the seller indicated there was a minute left!

the seller only wanted to "update" his thread, to show highest bid and to lower this "sniper protection". The title says 24hours and not number of seconds, and seller was acting as a counter this whole time. I could've posted my bid a minute sooner, but his message pooped up saying that there still was another minute...
There is no point to place your bid in the last second when the deadline gets extended. So I think its just fair that you lost. Im sorry for you, but the rules were clear.

and if you read Matthews message he clearly says: "And bids will increase the end if the auction 1 minute from the last bid."
He doesnt say "the auction ends in 1 minute"

I can see that, but I didn't post my message in the last minute because seller did that. I clicked post message within the original time limit and when a seller updated the thread, it suggested I should read new messages in the thread before posting mine. I'm essentially being punished because I was reading an update from the seller saying there was still a minute! I wasn't even sniping, just reading the information provided (1 minute remaining!), and my bid was still within the minute as specified by the seller. You really think it's fare?!

There were 30 minutes between your post and the last valid bid, so dont say you werent sniping... I'm essentially being punished because I was reading an update from the seller saying there was still a minute! I wasn't even sniping, just reading the information provided (1 minute remaining!), and my bid was still within the minute as specified by the seller.
You should work on your English because he didnt say that. He said new bids would have 1 min to be outbid by even new bids. You really think it's fare?!
Yes, i think its fair.

Yes, i think its fair. I came online 4 minutes before I posted it, so I wasn't sniping because it can be easily proven that I was having dinner and just came back. There are also stats showing when I came online, so I will say it, because it's a fact. I suggest you work on your advice giving skills, because "1 minute remaining" says exactly that

LongWait4BFL, Eisehnower34 is correct. It is my fault for being late with my post, however the rules before my post supersede meaning that the auction was over when I posted the last update (my phone had water on the screen and it wasn't letting me type fast enough).
The 1 minute remaining was a reminder to people that there had been roughly a minute left on the timer. It is correct that you posted a few seconds too late. Better luck next time!

This. I broke even considering the previous sales of the second unit shares for a profit, but someone *did* get a dirt cheap Avalon from this!
