Hi all,
This auction has been brought to my attention, my sincere apologies that there has been a misunderstanding here and the incorrect outcome was reached.
As per the Auction Rules, a forum end-point ends the moment the clock ticks over into a new minute (because of the lack of ability to track seconds on the forum):
In this case, the auction ended at 3:30PM GMT+0 (6:30PM Bulgarian Time - GMT+3).
@smokincatcher My deepest apologies, your bid was placed at 3:30PM GMT+0 on the dot (for clarity, I am UK based - my timezone is GMT+1), and therefore was invalid. I have returned your money to you and removed the Pokemon from your account, I have dropped you a quick in-game notification to draw your attention here, if you log in before you check forums.
@vangogsan Following on from what was mentioned above, this means that the money you gained from this auction was 5.5M not 6M. Your money has been changed to reflect this, again, an in-game notification has been sent to you also.
@Eetaachee This means that you were the correct winner of this auction. 5.5M has been removed from your account, and the Pokemon has been forcibly traded to you. Please can you check your PC box and reply to let me know you have received this correctly. Again, an in-game notification has been sent to you.
I understand that this is a disappointing and frustrating experience for you all, for this I can only apologise. I understand that some of you may want to express this, however this thread will not be the place - if you would like to discuss this more, please make a Complaint.
