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 EST

I'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.

this did come in after the close but I will accept it if no other bids are entered in the next few hours you are the winner

This is not how auctions work... if alandelon is not the winner at 0.0100BTC you will be getting red trust and a flag.
Do you really need to grub for bits that bad to get the extra 0.0005BTC??  
Ridiculous precedent to set especially after "waking up from a long period of inactivity."
Seriously, what makes you think that is even a little bit ok??

I am honoring his bid please don't make any assumptions about me I have been on this forum a long time and have been an active member of the collectable community for a decade no need for this. life has taken me away from the forum it doesn't mean i haven't been watching and the point of this auction was in fact to share some of my collection with the community at a fair price while the market was down so I take offense to your statment.

That is interesting. I don’t like the leading 0 on PM times. I can see how this could cause confusion.

Glad we got a happy ending here.

This is the only Casascius coin I’ve never owned. Congrats to the winner.

I work in healthcare and read logs in 24-hour time daily, but the way this end time was written, combined with the forum’s default time display, leaves room for confusion.

Hi, thank you for confirming the result of the auction.
I’m happy to proceed and would like to use MinerJones as escrow, if that works for you. I’ll be sending you a private message right away so we can coordinate the next steps.
Thanks again.

Glad everything worked out in the end.

And thanks — I’m happy to finally add this Casascius to my collection.
