Next auction is starting now. If you are interested please PM me with your e-mail.
Was the seals referral link acceptable bid for you btw ?
Yes.

so it's more like a 'sealed bid' auction, rather than a standard auction....
To be honest I had to google it before replying, but yes, given that I accepted offers through e-mail it seems so. I'm just a random coder and don't know much about auctions.
But I had to accept bids somehow from people that don't have a forum account (or are still in the newbies section). I'll try to improve it or at least state it more clearly if there will be an auction next month.
I was considering it this month but then there would be accusations of fake bids to always make you pay max bid value.
I'll think about next month, forum turns out to be not so great because I have zero control over content in this thread and I'm linking to it directly from my site. So this time there was one goatse link, but there could have been much more trolling, pictures and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
The best way to accept bids via email would be to make email just a manual submission - forum timestamps and orders are the source of data. If a email was posted here X secs late, it's late. Obviously this won't inflate the price like your current setup.

I don't see then point of doing it through forums (delays when people reply , last post is the same..) - you are honoring bids we don't even know about until some certain amount of time later.
Grats to the winner 
scooped it up while I was asleep.

If you posted the bid after auction end time how can anyone outbid it?
Highest bid before auction finish time wins. No matter if it was done through e-mail, PM or in the thread. I'm sorry if it was not clear enough in my first post, but if that wouldn't be the case auction could last hours after it's finish time (and what would be the point of defining finish time then)
This is also probably why Predict Coins took some margin when outbidding previous bid when sending offer last second.

My last message was posted few seconds after auction end, but I received e-mail before auction end makes it last highest bid before auction end, making Predict Coins the winner.
Namecheap did overbid it, but it was send a little bit after auction end, so to be fair and consistent with my first post Predict Coins wins (unless there would be some problems with the payment)
