All that matters is who won, which was not me, so not sure why you all aren't able to drop it when, oh good grief, you think a stranger on the internet is wrong about something

And thanks to the kind seller who understood my confusion and has reached out to let me know he'll be adding the additional clarification to avoid knuckleheads like me getting confused on the ending times, a true gentleman, and I look forward to bidding on his future auctions!

No. Actually, I stated that the auction would end at 9:00, 9:01 would be too late.

Going forward, to further clarify things, I will state that any bid time-stamped 9:00 would be accepted; those time-stamped as 9:01 would not.

I just don't know how I can be clearer than that.

My mistake, it appears I was quoting you quoting someone else who wrote "all the bids are time stamped. The auction ended at 9:01.", I had mistaken that as your post, but it was someone else's. That's my mistake. I had assumed only you would be making a list of the winners in that manner. The last sentence you are adding is crystal clear, I appreciate that.

I'm just an insane stickler for grammar and precision, and to say something ends at 9:00 and then 9:01 is too late, does not actually imply a bid at 9:00:01 would be accepted. You could very well have said 11:37 is too late, and it doesn't counter the first part of that statement. Sorry folks, again, I don't know why you all can't drop it. It's done. It's over.

The LAST word on all of this is to share what will be stated in my next auction:

As usual, please ask any questions before bidding.

(then normal item details etc.)

Auction ends Sunday, 10/1 @ 9:00PM ET; 9:01PM ET is too late�in other words, any bid time-stamped 9:00 would be accepted; any bids time-stamped as 9:01 would not.

If multiple bids are time-stamped at 9:00, and they are the same amount, the first one listed in the thread would be the winner.

However, if multiple bids are time-stamped at 9:00 and one is a higher amount, that bid wins.

Please also understand that you have to convert the time-stamp to your time-zone- for example, when an auction ends at 9:00PM ET, the time-stamp I see is 7:00 as I am in the Eastern Time Zone.

This should cover everything...if not, check the first statement...thanks...this has been fun...
