I really hate to keep beating a dead horse since you won and I lost. I'm not arguing that, I'm happy you got the card and the seller gets a better price. However if an eBay auction ends at 9, if you bid one second past 9:00:00 you do not win. That's how timed auctions with actual enforced ending times work. I simply thought that's how this worked. The bid at $170 was technically placed after 9pm. I understand he complicated the rules by saying 9:01 was too late, which apparently implied that he would take bids until 9:01, but that's in conflict with the statement prior to that which stated the auction ends at 9:00pm. I feel like Don Mattingly arguing with Burns here :-)
