That is OK, who doesn't like a bit of controversy? It was an entertaining auction indeed.
Love not so much, I just like to cause controversy.
I'm said previously, it can be viewed either way, its open to interpretation from both ways, so I guess its up to the OP to decide.
You could say its a finish line point, but the definition of midnight depends on who is talking. Are we talking by the end of Midnight which ends at 12:01 or as soon as it is considered Midnight 12:00?
I mean whoever wins wins, I didn't win so it doesn't effect me much, but I find this interesting.
I know what you say, but we all know that you love LOLWUT.

Because 12:00:59 is still 12 12:01:00. Its like if someone said it was One Oclock (1:00:00), it might be one oclock with 30 seconds (1:00:30), but its still considered one (1:00:00) until it becomes 1:01:00
EDIT Wikipedia Definition:
"It is not always clear what times "12:00 a.m." and "12:00 p.m." denote. From the Latin words meridies (midday), ante (before) and post (after), the term ante meridiem (a.m.) means before midday and post meridiem (p.m.) means after midday. Since strictly speaking "noon" (midday) is neither before nor after itself, the terms a.m. and p.m. do not apply. However, since 12:01 p.m. is after noon, it is common to extend this usage for 12:00 p.m. to denote noon. That leaves 12:00 a.m. to be used for midnight at the beginning of the day, continuing to 12.01 a.m. that same day."

My unbiased opinion:
The OP states the auction ends "at midnight."
The word "at" suggests that as soon as it is midnight, the auction ends. This would imply 00:00:00 and not 00:00:59. If a 5k race is run, the finish line is at 5k, and not 5.999k.
I think the 127 bid wins.

Typically it's when the clock hits 12:00:00, tho I would personally give it to lolwut. Tough call...
But the auction says "Auction end: 31 of may 2012 at midnight eastern time."
But 12:00:59 is still Midnight. So the question is, is the cutoff 11:59:59 or 12:00:59?

This is going to be a tough one, the owner is going to have to decide since it was not explicitly listed or implicit. So I don't really know how its going to turn out.
Honestly I would take the extra BTC if I was the owner, but if they had it set in their own mind that the cutoff was 11:59:59 I'm sure they will sell to you.
Just have to wait to see who wins.
