I had already bid $51.00 in post #12 and the auction should have ended at 8:00. So what's going on? Something doesn't seem right here.

He didn't specify which time zone. For that matter, it's only 7:23 right now on the west coast. Still 37 more minutes of bidding left

In the case of not specifying a time zone then.....You are central time zone...in my mind this auction ended at 8pm CST.....post 12 should probably win...

OK guys, I clearly booted the ball on this auction time situation and apologize to everyone. Since I did not list the time zone I was going by, I have to make a decision and do what I think is right thing to do.

I sincerely apologize to everyone for making TWO mistakes. One, not listing the exact 8 p.m. time zone I was using and TWO, erroneously stating there were 2 hours left when there was only one. Please accept my apology for both.

First of all, I am in the Central time zone. In post #13 I mistakenly said 2 hours left in the auction. That post was at 6:49 MY TIME. That post SHOULD have said 1 more hour to go as I am on CENTRAL TIME. That is the time zone I intended on using all along. If you see my past auctions, I stated 8 p.m. central in those.

Having said that, the leading bidder at 8 Central time was post #12 at $51.00

I know this may make some people mad that bid more but I have to do what my intentions were and what I feel is the right thing to do.

In the future, I will CLEARLY state a time and time zone and try to make all rules clear so there is no confusion.. Thanks to everyone for bidding.

I know this may make some people mad that bid $20 more but I have to do what my intentions were and what I feel is the right thing to do.

What about the earlier post/bid for more money, at $51?
