forum rules dude...it ended @ 1.51BTC like I said, it happened to me a few times too...
Auction ended. I'll take 1.55 to be fair, winner is Fattcatt. Please message me and CC the escrow provider with the info.
Doesn't quite work that way dude. The auction was won @ 1.51 BTC, that is the price Fattcatt should pay, and nothing more - plus shipping costs if applicable.
also a newbie just made an account 2 hours before end to bid it up seems kinda fishy
Last time I checked its not "fourm" rules, that when an auction ends, it ends, unless otherwise stated an auction is just a tool used to negotiate price.
and unless OP stated he would not use an alt account to bid up the auction than he is free to do so
Just because 99% of you all here follow "respectable" auction rules doesn't mean that anyone HAS too.

You DONT change auction rules mid auction. Never....never. i dont care what bitcointalk says you can and cant do. My god
If you want to negotiate a price put it up for sale...why even state terms of an auction then....hmmm maybe so people know the rules of your auction
