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. I don't care why you sniped, You did, That's all. It is a completely unfair tactic to win an auction. Argh Quit stuffing up your quotes

Personally, I have to disagree with the whole argument... The seller set a SPECIFIC and PREDETERMINED end time. Deal with it. If you keep adding extra time whenever someone bids, a few things happen. (1) You keep pushing the price of not only one auction up, but all auctions because the next person to auction a similar item is going to say "well he got x amount for the same thing, so my auction starts at y" and the final price ends up being z. (2) You unnecessarily inconvenience the seller because he/she has to sit and wait and wait and wait. They set a certain time for a reason. People are using the excuse of "real life" for not being able to bid before the end of an auction. Well how about the seller? Do you even consider that they might have set the end time to suit their own "real life"?
And I would say the same thing regardless of who won. The fact that it was my legionmate that ended up as top bid is immaterial to me.

This way is fair. It doesn't let people get dogged out of an auction, and all parties should be happy. Littlefluffy is just upset because he isn't getting what he wants, but watch should happen, is a fair result.

No its not fair, because basically just means those who have more cash to throw around will everything and the gap gets wider. You lost and you can't handle it.

No, I lost because you used unfair tactics to win. Mento: 12K CTP. And now you will lose because you can't compete with Mento. How do you not see how you are not going to win? No matter how this auction goes. I won because I knew someone was going to use that tactic I just used it better

Whether he likes it or not, he did. O boo who I was the leader prior to that and even if that was removed you still won't have posted because you weren't online to outbid me for my first bid, yes you hit "reply" but you didn't submit it and thus "unfair" is not an excuse you can use. You still won't get the planet either way.

Am i the only one here saying wtf littlefluffy Won this auction it doesn't matter when he bid the auction ended at a certain time he bid within that time and won it?
You cant turn up to an auction in real life 3 hours late then say it's unfair because you didn't turn up on time? give the man his planet and let this thread die.

I don't care, i'm only bidding cause i can, wasn't paying any attention to when the auction ended, so i missed it, wasn't bothered and wasn't going to pay anymore attention to this thread
