Similar to how a store closes at a certain time and you can't purchase anything once that store is closed, it should be the same for this auction. For example, if Best Buy says they close at 9:00 then that's when they close, period. So if anything is bid 12:00 and after I feel the same rule should apply, that your bid must be placed at 11:59 or under because 12:00 is the "end" time.

that is not a very good analogy.
if best buy close at 9:00 and I'm checking out at 9:00:01, best buy isn't going to reject my transaction just because they technically close at 9:00.
as far as which method is correct..... I don't think there is a "correct" way.
the op should make a decision either way.
one cag is going to be disappointed regardless of the method...

In the case of the guys that bid 5 on metroid fusion you pick the earlier one. I say anything after you said auction over shouldn't count. And if you guy by what Rozz says then anything with a 12:00 bid time is not counted then. Most lowballs end when the auctioneer posts its over and they count anything before that final post.

That's not a very good analogy either, as this is not a "check out process". No one was in line to get these items and did not have a definite hold on them. They were simply bidding until the auction was over in which Riyonuk originally said was at 12:00 sharp with no changes and I would expect him to honor. I go by the rules listed in the OP. It is up to Riyonuk overall but the original rules said that it ended at 12:00.

Not to be rude, but your an idiot. I've never been in a Best Buy (we'll stick with that) that kicked you out if you were looking and not in line after close. I've been in a Best Buy as little as 30 mins after close, and not even near the check-out. Regardless, like you said its up to Riyonuk, but the way I see it, like with most lowballs, it ends at the end post, and anything before it is usually good. In fact, I can't provide post # to prove it, but I think Riyonuk said a few pages back that the lowball ends at his end post.
EDIT: I guess I was wrong, or just couldn't find it, but I didn't find the post I thought I read. Either way, its Riyonuks call and everyone should abide by it.

So you were in a Best Buy 30 minutes after close? Why do they even announce "Ten minutes until the store closes, bring all purchases to the registers" then?

Okay...
The post where I said the bids ended, I actually saw the timer had run out, and even sat around about 10 seconds waiting to press "reply", so if I had posted exactly, I'm sure a couple of people would have been after me, instead of before. Since this auction was dv8mad's idea, I do think I should ask his advice. Like someone mentioned earlier, either way someone ends up butthurt :\
The whole point of this auction was to raise money, and I could use those extra dollars. Money cannot buy respect though. I'm trying to figure out how I can get a community vote on the subject.

Because ideally they want everyone out by close, but they also don't want to refuse sales. Also, its really up to management, it takes alot to close a store, so they are all there at least an hour past close anyways, so it doesn't hurt if they let a few customers roam while they close up.

I worked at Target, and sure, management wouldn't mind a few more sales, but in the end, the workers on the floor don't want people running around after the fact, so they will usually try to persuade people out of the store by closing time. I doubt you'll find a worker who will say "Well, if you can't decide, take a few more minutes to figure out what you'd like."

Oh JESUS CHRIST you're still arguing this? I hate to be a stickler for DA RULEZ but dv8's rules are auction ends when YOU POST ITS OVER! That means Revolution gets Phantsy Star online (Sorry Rozz, I love ya man) and Dodgeme gets Final Fantasy Inetrnational. In the case of the two metroid guys, I don't know whether to award the first to bid or the last to bid since the time is ticking down. It's a toss up.
This is why I let my auction run a couple extra minutes, to let the smoke clear from the sniper shootout.

DAMN, these odd ending times are killing me. Im glad my ps2 bids held (thanks to handsome 
) but man, im pissed those gamecube bids fell apart. Seeing those ending prices, HELL, if i was around, you would have made a lot more...
man, i wished you kept it at 6PM CST. would have worked perfect for me, and others seemed to agree. the worst part is that the people who complained when you changed it to 6, never even showed up to bid anyways! WTF! fail...
either way, i wont cry about it, glad i got half of what i wanted at least, so ill pay you as soon as you send me the total. and please, get me the absolute cheapest shipping you can.

More proof we really need the ability to do countdowns within posts.
Voice your support for this here!
As for the situation at hand, the way I did it was I posted "it's over" and that was it. Bids before that counted. This meant I lost out on a good number of increased bids afterward, but that's the breaks. Good luck Riyonuk.
People posting the same price = the first one gets it, yar.

You know what, screw the polls. Revolution is beating me anyway, but even if he wasn't I feel that he should get PSO at this point. I feel that the OP would benefit from a few extra dollars he would be giving him anyway. I think that this should apply in general in this thread, the more expensive bid before the OP said "stop". After all, I'm sure Riyonuk could use every dollar he can get, and I feel in terms of the other argument that the higher bidder should get it as well. But that's not up to me; it's up to the voters, the bidders, and Riyonuk when it's all said and done with the Final Fantasy International deal.

My personal feeling is that 99% of the CAGers who do a lowball sale are people who don't care about that extra few dollars, but if you said Revolution should get it, then that's cool of you. Some people might fight over it, but letting somebody else take it is a nice move in my book.

I don't know the rules because they're not listed anymore but a lowball sale should end at the specified time and not after the topic creator says it's over. I believe when someone says something ends at a certain time, exactly that time is the end. If it ends at 12, only 11:59 posts should be accepted. Think Cinderella. Cinderella doesn't have an extra 59.999~ seconds before she changes back. There should be no argument as far as the 11:59 votes go. The first person to make the same bid should be the winner... even if I don't know who the **** is Mad D and am love with freakyzeeky's trophy collection.
All my opinion of course.

I suggest sawing the games in half and both bidders shall pay half of their maximum bid....
Made my votes. If I remember correctly, you stated in the OP that you would be posting when the auction was over. Everything before should count. Nothing after should count.
Once again, this is exactly why I only make an end post and never post an end time.

Okay, question. I've been receiving numerous PayPal earnings, and all are being deducted about a dollar or two. What gives? One transaction was deducted over eight dollars. I also assume I'll be paying shipping, so how much money am I going to lose on this >_
