Re: Auction for Exceptional Cloak of the Panther
Master Windsbreath,
With regard to your advertised clock for sale. I offer, 11,000 true coin.
I would also like to meet with you regarding the value of gems: diamond, sapphire, alexandrites that I provided to you for your crafting. I have further goods and bounties from Rael Kingdom, including some fine panther pelts.
I am sure we will be able to come to some mutually beneficial arrangement.
Yours Broodingly,
Gladyus Rockface

Gladyus, please contact me at your leisure.
//just for clarity, bidding will close at 11:59pm EDT on Monday, June 28.

//Just one more change to the auction rules. To prevent last-minute auction sniping, I will not accept any bids from new bidders past 11pm EDT, Monday, June 28. I will use the post time in the upper left-hand corner, and be utterly merciless ;)

sorry for the long OOC in your auction but.... I dont see your idea working at all. Basically all it does is if I am the person who wants to last second bid.. I now do it at 10:59 PM EDT and no one will be able to bid after I do for the auctions last hour. The way of doing it that I reccomended to you via PM today will not only remove any sore feelings from the person who had the winning bid for 3 days only to be beaten in the last second... it can also raise the amount you will get for the item.
Secondly I would not reccomend changing the nature or rules of an auction in the middle of said auction. :)

//I did not say no new bids, I said no new bidders, old bidders are welcome to battle it out to the last minute. Anyone who is serious will try and make a last minute bid. Thank you for the advice to not change my auction rules in the middle. If anyone who has actually bid thus far has a problem, please PM me and I will likely change the rules back to the original.
I don't like your system G-452, because it does not allow for infrequent players who might not be on the forums as much as you and I. I do appreciate the advice though.
