My point is the same. There is some point in time that the bidding time has ended. At that point the system has to look at the bids and determine the winner. If their system sent Powell an email or a message or some kind of electronic signal that he won the set then his set bid must have been more than the calculated bids of all 12 cards individually. The set is his.

Joking/not joking:

Are you deliberately trying to restart this discussion at the beginning?

Because I think about 50 people (including Powell himself) made this exact argument about 6 pages ago. And we�ve spent the last 300 posts picking that argument up and examining it from most every side.

But maybe you skipped over that discussion?

For individual lots that ended earlier or at the same time, those guys almost certainly got a message THEY had won the lot. That's just the software doing its thing. It wasn't doing any comparing, because the software did not link all the lots together. Powell did not win the set, because some of the individual lots were still open and the sum ended hgher. The unfairness is Powell was unable to continue bidding. But that doesn't make him the winner.

Anyhow, it's all moot now.
