Wait, we understand now, that's how it is, it can't be changed, so what's the point of the screenshot?

It's not that your last bid is 46 seconds late.

I wasn’t late. The last bid was at 20:47, so I was allowed to bid until before 21:02. 

The mod has fixed the trades already, thanks.

Hi, the rightful winner of the auction was @Tamiya4wd with a bid of 200k, as the next bid of 250k by Gabo10 was posted too late to start the 15-minute rule, as stated in the auction rules. As the start of the auction was triggered at the creation of this thread, not at the first bid, as no specifics were given for the start time.

Quote

- Forum: 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.

 

As such, I have forced the correct outcome. 

@Tamiya4wd200k has been taken from your account, and you have received the Rookidee.

@Gabo10250k has been put back into your account.

@Vipez00650k has been removed from your account as the winning bid was only 200k, not 250k. Additionally, you have been punished for the mishandling of an auction.

 

Finally, in the future, if there is ever uncertainty about the outcome of an auction, please report it and let us take care of it.
