Sorry, I have caused this confusion.

I am currently in BST not GMT, hence the OP not making any sense. Doh!

We will stick to what I've said below, so the auction will end in approx 6 hours 45 minutes.

Log out and then look at the forum times.  I'm pretty sure that's the time he means.

I'm not sure if the forum time is universal or relates to where your IP comes from, as for me atm it's 410 pm whereas GMT/UTC is actually 3.10 pm now

Re speculation about the price, 30 series 1 sold on coblee's auction of May 1st for a total of 90 btc, so 3 btc a piece (1 btc = between $125 & $95 at the time): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=186198.0;all

For clarification:

The auction will end at 10:00pm UTC Wednesday 15th May 2013 (Today!)

We will take forum time to be UTC and will use the timestamps of posts to determine if bids are valid.

Any valid bid from 09:51pm UTC onwards extends the finish time by 10 minutes.

Rules:
  • The auction will end at 11:00pm GMT (10:00pm UTC) Wednesday 13th May 2013.
  • Starting bid 3 BTC.
  • Bid increments of at least 0.1 BTC.
  • Any valid bid from 10:51pm GMT onwards extends the finish time by 10 minutes.
  • I will include free postage (signed for on delivery).
In the rules I put the bid increments at 0.1 BTC. In retrospect this is too high, but I have to keep it to avoid any possible complaints.

Unless either of you object, I will treat Otoh's bid as 3.3 BTC and mc_lovin's as 3.4 BTC.

Thanks  Smiley

Both bids were valid as being of at least 0.1 btc more than the last, but if you prefer bids to be of only 1 decimal place it doesn't bother me, did you look in to the GMT - UTC issue from your OP?
Quite right, so both are valid bids!

This is why I lost my job as a professional auctioneer  Wink

I'm in the UK and it's 15:30pm here.

According to http://time.is/UTC, UTC is 14:30pm - which is almost the same as forum time.

Recent auctions have been between 700-800, they have slowly went down from the 1000 marl. You wont get 1000 now a days.
True, they have been going for slightly less recently.

Anything close to $700-$800 would be amazing, though I'm not expecting that much.

I considered putting it on ebay, but I really can't stand them  Cheesy

Sorry, I made a small mistake! Please could a mod amend the OP so it reads:

The auction will end at 11:00pm GMT (10:00pm UTC) Wednesday 15th May 2013.

No I can't. Should be fine, you posted the correction pretty quickly, before any bids.
