The last line of his listing says "AUCTION ENDS AT 9:00,.....9:01 is too late".....so you have 60 seconds to get your bids in if you are waiting right at 9:00......

Anyway I made my point. Congrats gentleman, still some great buys had here tonight!

This website doesn't register seconds.....it registers minutes. If the timestamp says 9:00...it is technically 9:00......your post after the $170 listing clearly says 9:01.

I'm not sure you understand how clocks work. Once the site shows 9:00, it's actually AFTER 9:00. What day will it be at 12:00:01, will it be Thursday, or will it be Friday? Same idea. Anyway, enjoy your cards.

I'll argue that point. He said the auction ended at 9:00 PM, not 9:00:00. So if it's 9:00:59, it's still 9:00. The only time after 9:00 is 9:01 and it obviously isn't that.

Actually when clarifying who the winners were, the seller said the auction ended at 9:01. I accept that, as it's clearly what his intent was. However my view is that it's clear as day that 9:00:01 is AFTER 9:00pm, so the auction did not in fact end at 9:00pm, it ended at 9:01pm. All that matters is who won, which was not me, so not sure why you all aren't able to drop it when, oh good grief, you think a stranger on the internet is wrong about something

And thanks to the kind seller who understood my confusion and has reached out to let me know he'll be adding the additional clarification to avoid knuckleheads like me getting confused on the ending times, a true gentleman, and I look forward to bidding on his future auctions!

No. Actually, I stated that the auction would end at 9:00, 9:01 would be too late.

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.

In my view, saying something ends at 9:00pm, means the second the clock strikes 9:00 it's over, not one second past. I can see your point, I simply think it's factually incorrect and not how deadlines work anywhere else on the internet, but apparently it is how they work here. The norm is a one minute grace period. I get it. I will keep that in mind for future auctions.

Then he would have said the auction ends at 8:59. 9:00 is no good. You aren't following.

That's not how deadlines work. Imagine a student in an online course. The teacher says an assignment is due promptly at 9:00pm. Sets up an online submission portal for that submission. If a student attempts to submit after the clock strikes 9 but before the clock strikes 9:01, the student will be sorely disappointed when the assignment is rejected as late.

I did an auction in here last week. This is how I posted the ending time. " The bidding will end at 10:00 pm on Sunday Septenber 17th. Any bid must be placed before the clock strikes 10:00, 10:00 or later will not count."

clydepepper · #12 09-21-2023, 08:36 PM

Okay Folks. Thanks for the heavy bidding.

I hope the auction end-time has been clarified.

if two bids are time-stamped at 9:00, and they are the same amount, I would say the one listed in the thread first would be the winner.

However, if two bids are time-stamped at 9:00 and one is a higher amount, that bid wins.

I apologize if this wasn't clear enough...thought I had it down to a 'semi' fine art. LOL

I will contact the winning bidders directing their payments.

Thanks again,
Robbie
