@Lacomus You were punished for a Poorly Handled Auction for breaking the rule that you reminded everyone of:

15 minute rule applies

 

If a bid is received in the final 15 minutes of the auction, the end point will be delayed by 15 minutes from that bid, and will be delayed by 15 minutes for each new bid thereafter, until the current offer has been held for a full 15 minutes. Must be accurate to the minute that the auction is set to end.

› e.g. If the auction ends at 15:00, it will end at 15:00:00. If a late bid is received in the final 15 minutes, at 14:46, the auction will end at 15:01. If another user bids at 15:00, the auction will be extended again, and will end at 15:15, this will be repeated until the current offer has been held for a full 15 minutes.

 

Will highlight the "If the auction ends at 15:00, it will end at 15:00:00".

 

@Bruce8244 had posted the 135k bid at 1:09 AM GMT+0, extending the end point to 1:24 (or 1:24:00) AM GMT+0.

@Kudanil800 posted the 150k bid at 1:24 (or 1:24:xx) AM GMT+0, meaning was seconds after the end point - making it invalid. Every subsequent bid is invalid as a result.

 

Unfortunately the outcome of the auction cannot be fairly reversed in this case, so there is no further action take. Apologies to @Bruce8244 for the inconvenience.

 

Locked as the thread has served its purpose. Take care.
