I did the same thing, I bid at 8:59:59 only with some luck, but I really didn't know what else to do if other people were bidding higher than me around the same time. I like the auctions that say if a bid comes in at a certain time, 3 minutes is added to the auction, that way there is always time.
Tedgeman is a good guy and he is giving us first dibs on these names rather than letting the names drop, but this stuff is difficult. We can't be giving him a hard time or we may not get these chances again.
Let's just keep making suggestions to improve these unformal auctions.
And you are right ca11, it's not right.
