Job must be going well.

Our first true snipe. nice.

Yes Rob, the job is going really well and I would have bid more had the notice of the ending of the auction been posted before I left for work and the ending time been after I returned from work. 15 hour days do tend to take up a bit of the day and I don't usually take a laptop with me out to tower sites in the desert on the border.

I thank you for the wee bit of sarcasm, I haven't had the chance to respond in kind.

Just curious- if someone topped the $250 bid and it came in at 9:01 Net54 time, would it have been disqualified? Unlike ebay, there are several sets of clocks in play here. Could get tricky.

My assumption is that we go by the board clock and since the auction ended at 9 PM EST, any bid after 9:00:00 would not have counted.

Is there a running board clock that bidders can see?

Not that I know of, but when you submit a post, it gets stamped with the official board time.

edited to add: Of course, as any member may use their own set of auction rules, one could indicate that the auction closes by the clock in the naval observatory or on their own wristwatch if they wanted. My presumption though is that when unspecified, people intend to use the clock of the forum.
