*IMPORTANT NOTE* - This auction is set up with POPCORN BIDDING, which means if you place a bid right before auction closing, it will extend the auction by 2 minutes. Here is an example: On auction close date, Thursday, June 30, Bob makes a bid on item #101 at 11:59am (the auction closes at 12pm ASKT/ 4pm EST). That will then extend the bidding window by 2 minutes, giving Sally (who was also bidding on this item) an extra window to place another bid, which will then extend the bidding window by another 2 minutes, giving Bob another opportunity to bid. Bob places another bid, which then extends the auction by another 2 minutes, giving Sally another chance. Sally decides she cannot bid anymore, no other parties bid on the item, so the additional 2 minutes from Bob's bid runs out and Bob then wins the item. If Sally were to place another bid, and this cycle were to continue, it will end after 60 minutes and the highest bidder at 1pm ASKT/5pm EST will be the winner of that item.
So, just because you placed a higher bid at 11:59am AKST/ 3:59pm EST, doesn't mean the bidding is over... stick around your computer to ensure that you keep getting your bids in on the bidding war and win that item!
