Alrighty so no matter what happens here someone is going to be upset. But I had very clear specifications set on the bidding, and luckily I did or else I wouldn't have been able to tell who won. First things first, Toad posted 501k at 12 49 EASTERN TIME. Yes it is eastern time, atleast on my setting I made sure especially so I could be as fair as possible. At 1 06 Deslayer made a bid of 502k, which is higher. Now before you start telling me you live on the east coast and it was before one were you were let me explain something I noticed. The clock on PGC its almost EXACTLY 5 minutes fast on eastern time. So Deslayer while you most likely wrote the post which wouldve been the winning bid at say 12 59 or something, the clock is 5 minutes fast so you were partially right. But, it said you posted it at 1 06, therefor you really wouldve have posted at 1 01. And yes I'm terribbly sorry and yes that terribbly sucks. But I clearly said whoever has the highest bid at exactly 1 eastern time wins, and that was Toad. I would like to thank you both, as your determination to win were both equally amazing but I ask you both to accept my decision w/o any grudges against me. My rules were clear, I spent extra time making sure how accurate time was on these boards, and there should be no arguement about who won. Now I'm sorry if you may think this is cheap or ridiculous or whatever and I take full blame for not being her at exactly 1 to determine a clear winner right away but be honest with yourselves here. If I really intended to be cheap and dishonest I wouldve given the Metriod to whoever bidded the highest at whatever time. But I carefully looked at everyones posts, times, and amount bidded and even took measurements to ensure accuracy of the time of the ending of the auction. And Toad won. Thank you both for your participation, and please be reasonable. The bidding and auction is over, no amount of insults or rage will change any of the results and I wish you both the best of luck. It upsets me that not everyone could walk away from here with what they desire but as we all know things seldom end up perfectly. Thank you for you understanding, Xavya
PS Toad I will be on for a little bit at 5 30 EASTERN TIME(yes i wanted to make that clear) and I encourage you to open your town for me to bring you the Metroid as it will be easier for the both of us. Thanks.
