In Spokanistan51's defense, the auction end time could have been interpreted as 9PM not 9AM, it wasn't clear when it was ending, IMO

END TIME: FEBRUARY 8th, 2026,
09:00:00 ESTI've known Spokanistan51 for a long time... this has nothing to do with them. They placed a bid and may not have known the end time had passed. I've had plenty of bids come in late, but I always do the right thing and call it properly. The OP clearly stated the bid was late but chose to grub for bits rather than honor the proper winning bid.
p.s. if the listing has
09:00:00EST as the end time the zero before the nine clearly means 9AM... as 9PM would be 21:00:00EST

The OP did clearly state that the bid came in late, I'm not arguing that, but he did so after the bid was placed.
p.s. The forum's default time settings include a zero before the 9 regardless if it's AM or PM.
