This is how it's done on coral hoarders we also have no seconds but pretty easy like Albert said last bid in that last minute would win. I'm sure you could also look up the time stamp. This is what I do on COral hoarders and it does give exact time of post.

It doesn't really matter because we've chosen to run the auctions in the "last man standing" fashion.

Do you dislike this rule? If so, what do you dislike and is that from a buyer or seller perspective?

I don't follow? What do you mean "last man standing"? How does that clarify the timestamp?

We don't care about the time stamp because of guideline #6:

6) When two members make an identical "winning" bid on the same minute, the auction will remain open for these two bidders only for a bidding war - until a winning bid is achieved. At this time, if a bidder fails to post a bid increase within 24 hours, that bidder is considered resigned from the auction.

I don't have any constructive insight for you on this other than "why?"

Why not? This isn't a new idea - we stole it from another site. It works quite well. Although I think we could trim the "24 hours" down to "15 minutes" and achieve the same thing.
