[Auction] 2015 unreleased Kialara Labyrinth (Ruby edition) 07/20, 09/20, 11/20

Alright, I guess I didn't read the OP and this one sounds a little different.  But you still won.

Sniping:  No, any bid placed within the final 5 minutes of each auction will add an additional 5 minutes ad infinitum until no new, valid bid has been placed for 5 minutes.

 
So it looks like GP's bid within the last 5 minutes extended it 5 minutes and you bid within that 5 minute period.  GP still took longer.  Either way you interpret it AdvocateOne won.

GP bid 0.48 at 9:57:24 forum time.

My understanidng as to how auctions work here, is that bc GP’s bid was placed within the last 5 minutes, that the auction would end 5 minutes from this point - to 10:02:24 and then be over.

So looking at the bids, had nobody said anything, I would have understood it as GP having been the high bidder @ 0.48

In future auctions I will make this more clear. I pulled the rules from another auction and then added the ad infinitum part and other parts to try to make it more clear - next time I will add an example (i.e.) as well.

GP and AdvocateOne I am sending you each a PM now to sort this so hopefully everyone will be happy.

You designated a time the auction ends but now it ends at GP's bid.  That is confusing.  Your wording is ambiguous enough to interpret it how you want but I recommend in the future you stick to the end time that you designate and time added is added after the time you designate as the end.

[AdvocateOne]

Just wanted to let you all know that Kialara resolved this to my satisfaction.

[Kialara]

Hellot, I agree with the ambiguity. And for the record, my last statement was simply how I interpreted the winner based on my understanding of how these auctions work. I was not declaring GP the winner. I offered AdvocateOne a bar I planned to hold onto for less than he bid, and am offering GP a discount on the 11 as well which I imagine he'll be happy with when he receives the PM.

In future auctions I will try to be more clear so there is no misunderstanding.

Hopefully this can serve as a lesson to others as well.

Well....Thank you to Kialara  & congrats to AdvocateOne as well.   

I was unsure myself, but I do appreciate Kialara coming through with an amicable solution for both.

Super excited here!    (Payment is on the way..)

[chronicsky]

that's really great solution you got Kialara

congrats to both the winners

[AdvocateOne]

Yes, congrats to you greenplastic as well.  Glad that there is a robust Kialara collectors community here.  Cheers.
