@Hawluchaa should investigate the timer thoo

Why ? As I said in a message the timer was 20 min off but since last bid got below 15 min left(real time) the timer error got remove since we add 15min after last bid

 Hi all.

This was the first bid, received at 9:12GMT+0.

For clarity on the timer - there will be 15 minutes added to the auction for every bid within the last 15 minutes of the auction, and refreshed again thereafter for each subsequent bid.

 

Essentially what this means, is that until there is a 15 minute period of time with no further bids, this auction is still ongoing.

 

This is the most recent valid bid:

The user said that this auction had 48h left the moment he posted this, therefore he did not mean 48h AFTER first bid. http://prntscr.com/vg01ju Picture 1 where he said this 2 days ago and he edited it later on. http://prntscr.com/vg02qt Picture 2, where the post timer is shown. My 3.9m bid had 15 minutes difference between 8man, therefore it should end then. @Ehkoe

Normaly yeah but we will wait moderator approbation just to be sure

Quoting from the rules: Auction ends on xx:09. Since I bid on xx: 02 the auction will end when the clock turns xx:17 and not xx:09.

8man bid at xx:18, therefore it was passed the 15-min rule.

the auction receives a bid during the last 15 minutes, the ending point is delayed to +15 minutes from that bid, until someone being the c.o. for 15minutes wins. This rule applies only in forum auctions.

(Example: Auction ends on 17:00. If any user bids at 16:46, the auction will end when the clock turns 17:01 and not 17:00. If another user bids at 17:00, the auction will end when the clock turns 17:15 and not 17:01 and so on.)

As per the first edit of the post, the auction is 48hrs after the first bid:

@zeus2705 When running an auction, you must to ensure this is clear at all times, to prevent this issue from happening.

 

@Virgneel I don't believe it is correct to call a final winner for this auction yet as the information in the seller's post was misleading about the duration of the auction.

 

The fairest option is to select a winner based on what was being advertised, and the information that was publicly available at the time. The clock app was set incorrectly, so we must look back further than this post - the last trusted and publicly accessible duration notification about this auction was this post below. 

This post actually incorrectly stated the end time was in 26hrs (it should have been 25hrs02m from this post).
This leaves us in the position now where no bidder and even the seller had full clarity on the end time of this auction.

With this in mind, and if participants are happy to do so, I can revert this auction to the way it was at 9:12 GMT+0, which was the initial intended end point before posts were edited. From here, we can treat the auction end fresh.

This means that this will be the current bid. Since it was made at 9:02GMT+0, 10 minutes before the auction end, it would have meant all bids until 9:27 GMT+0 were valid. This would need to be replicated in the same way. I am happy to keep watch and ensure it is fair.

3.9. Also, you posted this at xx:09 so it should end at that minute since it's 48 hours, correct?

 

@ShinyCelebi @8man96 @Virgneel - please clarify you are happy with this?
