Is bidding still going? I thought it ended at 12:00am (October 2nd)?

On the side it says “Due to so many exciting latecomers, I have had to re-extend the deadline. You now have until 12.00 midnight Sunday Oct 2nd (i.e. Sunday night) to bid for items. There will be NO further extensions.”

Yeah, it’s kind of confusing… 12:00am October 2nd, is Saturday night going into Sunday (not Sunday night). So I think the bid posted on September 30th is the last one that made the deadline?

It is confusing. I took a look at some of the other items and bidding is still going here and there. Sunday night is explicitly mentioned, so the way I see it bidding is still open until midnight tonight. So if anyone else wants to bid, they should go ahead to avoid confusion. If they are past the deadline they won’t count, but at least nobody will miss out unwittingly.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide if it’s worth staying up late tonight to bid. Haha. Midnight tonight would technically be Monday October 3rd… So I’ll probably choose sleep since I got to wake up at 5:00am. Good luck!

See the sidebar: it clearly states that the deadline is midnight *Sunday night*; it was extended from Saturday 8am. Thank you.

I think what’s unclear is it says midnight October 2nd, which has already passed. You should probably update it to say 11:59pm Sunday night instead of midnight. Midnight would be Monday, October 3rd.
