Looks like the ps.com clock is 3 minutes behind the official clock.
Perhaps there should be a bidding run-off given the uncertainty and importance of the cause?

I suspect that jatx will stipulate, being a gentleman and all.

Hmm, what do you have in mind? A match of wits or of brawn? How about a test to see who can do the most star jumpers with a twist before collapsing?

RL is right...we shouldn't stop an auction in the middle of bidding...
Open to suggestions.
TS what do you think? besides putting this on e-bay next time?

Some auction boards (other than ebay) have an anti-sniping measure to keep last second lurkers from waiting to see what the price will be and jumping on it.
They require an additional amount of time to expire after the last bid, extending the auction (even if the closing time arrives) another 15 minutes or so to allow others to up their bids.

I'm sure that Aric would agree there was no snipe here. We both stood there and stared at each other across the ether for ten minutes, but were unfortunately going by different clocks. I'll go along with whatever you guys think is fair, though.
But if we're still bidding, I'm in for $400.

Yeah, I thought I might be overstepping, as the admins hadn't decided what to do yet.
It was 380 FWIW.

WHAT IF...
What if TS & I agreed to double to booty and allowed you to freeze your bids at the 12 noon price?
You BOTH WIN the auction at the price you agreed to pay at noon.
You BOTH WIN by getting ALL the loot you wanted.
The Warrior Foundation WINS and almost DOUBLES their take?
Fair enough?
JM
P.S. Where the hell is DF with the smack talk about not quitting?

W-M is all about winning. I like the proposal, so I will defer any response to the question posed above until we hear from the parties.

That would be very generous and more than fair...
I'm game if everyone else is.
