G'day Folks,

Some early RAM Roos, Dollar n Dumps complete Set, SGB Reapers and XAG Rams...

Auction finish starting at 19:00 WST (20:30 SA / 21:00 EST) - Friday 23rd June... TONIGHT!!!

ALL Lots finishing at the same time!! *With the 'ol "5 minutes after Final bid" actual finish for each particular Lot (Forum Timestamp used) *

BUT the twist...

Any bid for a particular Lot extends the Finish for ALL Lots!!
ie. The Auction will be Officially over once ALL bids have finished!!

*No edited Bids, please the Forum does indicate "edited" when posts are edited (look above the "Quote Reply" right hand side) so if you make a bid and it turns out the same or lower than a previous bid please place a new post for the bid to make it higher rather than "edit" the post with the unsuccessful bid - although editing to clarify a Lot # is fine

Due to no "seconds" showing on Forum timeclock any duplicate bids with the same timestamp will be "first in line" gets the spot

For those unsure how to check the "timestamps" in this new iteration of the Forum if you hover your cursor over the "a moment ago" hyperlink, next to the poster's userid at the bottom of the post, it will display the the Forum timestamp for that particular post

~ SPOT RESERVE - Highest bid over Reserve price will be the winner on ALL Lots
