Something I noticed, is that the timer that was provided in the link was not sync the time on this website perfectly, I had closed the timer when it had reached 0 so assume all bids were over and was constantly hitting refresh on the post page constantly within the last minute. to see if there were any other posts and didn't see any that was conflicting with my auction items after it ended, but I didn't pay attention to the time stamp on the posts, which would of indicated there was still some time left for the auction. Just some feedback for next year I suppose, only had one item sniped due to that, but perhaps having a countdown clock right beside the racketboy logo, would be better. This is a great cause, and glad I participated, kudos too all the donors for the auction and the mods who maintained this auction pretty well.

Yeah, you can't really do anything about that. It would take an awesome programmer to make an embedded clock, and I don't think we have anyone skilled enough to do it.

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, it was my fault with assuming it was over, in hindsight not much I could of done other than constantly refreshing for more than a minute, lol even then that's why they call it sniping, haha. Kudos though, you take a bit of risk getting that last minute bid in too.

A bit of a risk? These bids are contingent on my mom not finding out that I donated $101 to charity. If she does, I'll probably be in a boatload of trouble. :lol:

Well put, fine for some more than others it's HUGE RISK, some may say as big as a dinosaur :P.
