Congrats to all the winners! I couldn't join in on the fun because of my new camera though. (there wasn't really wasn't much that I wanted though)

 

[DrWurm]

What are we calling the official time-stamp? Not that I have any stake in it or anything....

I am laying down my gavel! wooohooo!

The last valid time stamp is 10:00.

And no we didn't crash. Although I saw a slow moment or two. I was having a heart attack.

I won my crocheted flytraps! YIPPEEEEE!!!! (I think)

Too bad it's Eastern Standard Time. I got out bid on everything just earlier today.

It's only 8:39 PM here. No fair.

 

[PlantAKiss]

I'm sorry. But that is why we stress the time zone the auction runs in. With all the crazy states who don't participate in Daylight Saving Time and things like that, we have to rely on people doing the time math for their own area. We use Eastern because...I'm eastern and I have a lot to keep track of without screwing up a time zone. I'm really sorry you got outbid though.

I would just like to take a minute and thank everyone that organized this event. It was alot of fun and VERY expensive . Someday my wife will forgive me .

 

[Ant]

I think a lot of our members are east too. If the bidding were to close at 11 it might give members on the west coast a chance to snipe, not every one is at a computer at 7.

 

[RSS]

<------hates sniping, this is not E-bay it is for a good cause.....just bid.

 

[Clue]

The annoying thing is that I was outbid at about 9:50 on each auction, EST.

I hope that you guys had a better time bidding.

 

[RSS]

I was outbid at 9:58 and rebid at 9:59, I'm just glad my old old computer decided to work right then.

 

[PlantAKiss]

We used to have the auction end at 11 or midnight...that got complaints. lol I don't think there is ANY time ending (or zone) that will make everybody happy. So...it's gonna be mine. I know it sucks when the time is too late or too early though.

I didn't see EST post here.

Trust me...it is annoying to get outbid period.
