Topic: WTF Auction #4 - Lealana Physical 1 BTC Slabbed MS 66 (Read 771 times)
You win some, you lose some, no hard feelings on my end. Hope you have some more good stuff to sell WTF! I need a gilt Casascius.....Although not going to lie, a bit terrified about posting something like that across the Pacific.
I think if you actually need to put up replies explaining the rules of your auction even after you have written them in black (and red and green) and white, then they simply weren't clear enough in the first place.
In future auctions, consider using the templates which we all use. That way we are all speaking the same language. If anything it just gets rid of any confusion.

Hi, I figured I should chime in. Per the rules in the auction post, "Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments between additional bids." There were four additional bids within the last five minutes, [two in the 2:57 minute, one in the 2:58 minute, and one in the 2:59 minute (mountain daylight time)], so by my math that extends the auction by four minutes, plus K-Paxian's bid extended it one more minute, so it really ended at 3:05. Sorry if that confused anyone.
You should make it more clear..... the OP says nothing about multiple bids in the last 5 minutes. Your example is for 1 minute extensions with only 1 extra bid per extension.
Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments between additional bids.
Your problem is the bold red word highlighted above.
To make life easier on all involved.... I'd write it like this to avoid further confusion:
"Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments for each and every additional bid in the last 5 minutes. After the overtime period(the number of bids in the last 5 minutes) the auction will continue until there has not been a bid for 1 minute."
Then you need to give examples of both multiple bids in the last 5 minutes as well as what you have for just 1 bid in the last 5 minutes.
Not sure why you just didn't follow the standard auction format used for the collectibles section. When users try to do things different, it generally causes a sh**show.
Good luck with your sales, just hoping for a bit more clarity, especially if you are go to do things differently.

ahhh, OK that makes sense, sucks for me, but that's life. I'll keep an eye out for anything else you post, hopefully have my old account back so I can bid more than once every 5 minutes!
Thanks for explaining, I appreciate it

OP could just claim newbie bid without verifying funds and K-Pax wins the set. I am biased because they did want the set and furiously bidding on all 4 lots.
True, and hard to argue if he does. For what it's worth before I bid I posted signed proof I am the owner of a 2013 account. But yeah, we are talking 49 seconds here, so although I really want it, I'm trying not to be too much of an ass about it, and will have no hard feelings whatever the outcome.
This is also class behavior for a newbie and definitely something that will fit in here long term

Not to be a pain in the ass, because I am stupid and probably mis-understood something, but shouldn't this auction have ended at 9:01:00?
I see his point here.
This bid should be invalid as it came in 49 seconds after the auction ended??
No, and I can't message OP due to this account being a newbie. Crossing my fingers!

EDIT: While also feeling bad for K-Paxian! And kind of guilty for bringing it up! But I really want it, lol

I bet he would probably pay a ton for the one coin he missed.
But who knows maybe this wtf guy has another lealana btc set and will surprise us

I'm sympathetic, because I wanted the full set! I forgot newbies could only post every 5 minutes though, and I'm still waiting for my old account to be returned to me 
I would have bought the copper membership even though I only have 3 more days to wait to get it back, but if wishes where horses and all that....

Crazy man, 1 minute late for the set

I agree, don't let the dude get the full set so he will sell me the silver dime
