the seller only wanted to "update" his thread, to show highest bid and to lower this "sniper protection".
The title says 24hours and not number of seconds, and seller was acting as a counter this whole time.
I could've posted my bid a minute sooner, but his message pooped up saying that there still was another minute...
There is no point to place your bid in the last second when the deadline gets extended. So I think its just fair that you lost. Im sorry for you, but the rules were clear.
