Hello everyone,

 

There seems to be an issue with how the auction was handled.
I would like to remind everyone of Trade rules, especially

Quote

GENERAL TRADE RULES

---

 

1. When advertising, be clear and accurate about what you are buying or selling.

Because of this reason, @Qwertyqwerty08's bid is invalid and the winner is @Hbkk2

 

Allow me to explain:

The auction started on Tuesday 7:08 PM GMT +2

End time: Thursday 7:08 PM GMT +2

@Hbkk2 posted their bid on Thursday (today) 7:05PM GMT +2 --> 15 minute rule

There was no valid bid until 7:20 PM GMT +2, which makes @Hbkk2 the winner.

 

@Daftgenius please contact the winner and make sure to post proof of the trade.

 

At last, I would like to advise everyone to carefully read our Trade Rules and Auction Rules

 

Kind regards,

Drakloak

@Drakloak Sorry to interupt the flow but i got something to say on the behalf of @Qwertyqwerty08

The Bid of "1.2m" was clearly understood by all participants to refer to tangrowth because:

• The active bidding war at that moment was only for Tangrowth
• Previous bids were already shortened
•     " 900k tang", "1m tang" , "1.1m tang"
• The auctioneer did not reject or question it, and another participants immediately continued with bidding with 1.3m tang, clearly shows that meaning of 1.2m bid was understood

Rules requiring accurate bids are intended to prevent confusion during the auction itself. In this case, no confusion occurred, the auction continued normally, and all participants acted as though the bid was valid in real time.

If the bid was genuinely considered invalid, the correct procedure would have been to stop and reject it immediately before further bids occurred.

I don't have a personal problem with the outcome or any other player

but its just unfair for the player who have participated in the auction thinking their bid is valid

i am just curious what would the staff do in this situation or just follow the original trade rules

Thankyouu (Again no offence)

Gracee
