Atlas, Since the last bid was a "SNIPE" style bid, (Meaning he bidded at the last minute, and people couldn't rebutt, Could we get an extension on the auction? A bid in the last minute is kinda unfair as it leaves no chance for a person to counter.

A bid in the last minute is kinda unfair as it leaves no chance for a person to counter. I bid an hour before the auction to avoid that very argument and someone attempted to "snipe" it from me, so I upped mine. Was it at the last minute yes, but his was 3 minutes before the end, you won't have gotten it even if I didn't bid again.

In actuality yes, I did, I came online to find that the bid was the one before , and I press reply etc, I then had to leave the computer, and when I came back you and another had bidded and it was over.
I am only replying now because I took a break from the computer.
Snipe bidding shouldn't be done, It is cheating the people that want to bid out of the planet.
EDIT: Yes I know, Came has an E, thanks for the message 3:)

Where is your reply then? If you pressed "reply" before I did and I somehow "sniped" you then where is it? Or do you mean you attempted to snipe the auction and I beat you to it?

I went to bid immediately after the person before you bid. I clicked REPLY, but I then was called away from the auction (My GF was half mugged last night, I was tending to her wounds). When I came back you had sniped it.

Any anger you have about the situation rests on you for not staying an extra 3 seconds to confirm the reply went through, sorry but that is on you for being a good boyfriend. I have no remorse about this then. You were planning to steal it from me the same way and would have a completely different tune if you succeed. End of story you lost.

Atlas, What I suggest you do (and I urge others to do so) is do a 15 minute safeproof buffer from snipe bidders.
This means. I no one "Snipes" the auction ends as normal, If someone "snipes" the auction is extended 15 minutes from when the person posted, Giving the other people time to bid. If someone else bids, The auction is extended 15 minutes further, Thus allowing the other person to bid...and so on.. This means that the bid ends when one chooses not to continue, so the time isn't the primary factor (Which it shouldn't be.)

Were not on Ebay here Screw that you bid 3 minutes before the end "things to do" bull! I won fair an square. You don't like the rules of the auction then don't play. You all lost I won so back off. He is following the rules he set and that is how it is should be. Timezone, real life and any other excuse you throw out is to say it is not fair are not valid here. I placed a bid and it was the highest when the time ended. He doesn't need to extend the timer because you can't handle losing.

Heh, This is exactly what happened with your prev. leader and you defended his actions, So NO. You did the dirty and sniped, If you are any fair person you would let the auction run it's course. You even get a 500 CTP extra bid on any bid you make, So stop, You did the dirty too.

I sniped because I got sniped. You didn't post until hours after the auction ended. What ever you excuse, the fact is you didn't and I shouldn't be penalized.
