Hi Ed, the US declared war on Japan on Dec 8, 1941, so pre-war would be Dec 7, 1941 and earlier.

This argument is why the name of this specific part of the forum, and it's definition, was changed to WWII and Older. So any day before Sept 2nd 1945.

How will the auction end ? Clock ?, reset clock for 1 minute after each bid after the deadline ? etc. I wish ebay would add time after each bid instead of just ending.

There is a clock on the forum. When that clock reaches 931pm CST on the final night, the auction is over. This forum isn't auction software so we are doing it in a rudimentary fashion.
No extended bidding. no overtime. (unfortunately)
It's timed and then ends.

I hadn't even noticed that the forum name was changed to WWII and older, not Pre-War, so the Sept 2nd, 1945 is correct. My apologies.

Leon,

Just let the auction end when you receive the first self-addressed stamped envelope from a legitimate bidder. Problem solved.

Sounds fun and LMK when it goes live.

I liked the idea of 24 hours after last bid but the 1st auction looks like a hard stop time.
