Going forward, to further clarify things, I will state that any bid time-stamped 9:00 would be accepted; those time-stamped as 9:01 would not.
I just don't know how I can be clearer than that.

My mistake, it appears I was quoting you quoting someone else who wrote "all the bids are time stamped. The auction ended at 9:01.", I had mistaken that as your post, but it was someone else's. That's my mistake. I had assumed only you would be making a list of the winners in that manner. The last sentence you are adding is crystal clear, I appreciate that.
I'm just an insane stickler for grammar and precision, and to say something ends at 9:00 and then 9:01 is too late, does not actually imply a bid at 9:00:01 would be accepted. You could very well have said 11:37 is too late, and it doesn't counter the first part of that statement. Sorry folks, again, I don't know why you all can't drop it. It's done. It's over.
