Item: 6912 ink sacks (2 DC) Starting Bid: 1r Minimum Bid Increment: 1r Auction Ending Time: Fri Mar 23 8 pm emc time, but at least 1 hour after last valid bid As the title says, some squishy squid got squished, and this is what remains of them.
Wait, so the auction ends an hour after last bid actually? What? I don't think you can put a date... Rain90009 might've already won...
The auction doesn't end until at least one hour has passed from the last valid bid starting this Friday at 8PM empire time. This is valid and the auction is still ongoing.
As TrumanIII said. The auction ends on Friday 8 pm. Why should a form field named "Einding time" not be able to have a fixed date? However, to prevent last-minute-bid-wars, it won't end until one hour after the last valid bid. So (assuming all bids are valid, higher than the previous one, etc.): Alice bids on 7:55 => auction is extended to 8:55 Bob bids on 8:30 => auction is extended to 9:30 Cheyenne bids on 9:40 => bad luck, auction end was 9:30, one hour after Bob's bid. Bob wins. Hope that clarified things.
Auction ending condition is valid per EMC rules and hopefully the followup explanation should clear up what it means. If there's any questions or concerns feel free to contact a staff member for further clarification. With that said, auction will continue.
