Less than a minute to go. Why is it ending so much earlier than is stated on the auction?

Matt, who did a lot of the code on the GSB site (and has a real day job now) said in an email, a little while ago-

"due to a recent software update, a bug was introduced which causes the count-down clock to display the wrong time"

Matt said he needs to go into the code to fix it, which he will do asap.


So, I apologize for the issue. The winner of the cards on the site is still the winner of the cards and at the final realized price. Whomever guessed closest is going to be declared the winner of the nice E96. Once the code is fixed I will have another contest and we will give it another try. This is the best way I know how to do it. Again, my apologies for the issue, thanks to everyone that guessed and congrats to the winners. I will figure out who won today and send a PM to them for me to get the address to send out the E96. regards

In case anyone wants the technical details, a PHP upgrade that our hosting company ran on the server a few days ago caused the php.ini to be updated with the wrong timezone. The result was that even though the server time was correct, the countdown clock was accurate and the auction ended exactly 7 days after it started, the part of the listing that was a static statement about when the auction was to end added 5 hours to the time, which caused the confusion. The issue has since been corrected.

Congrats Jerry!
