Well thanks for the inputs finally. Probably the $9500 would be taken into account since the price was well before the deadline and I would personally pay for that if the contest results in a tie since as you have pointed out none of the rules has been mentioned in the OP.

I was the one who has allowed to edit the post and that was wrong from my part. But the fucking Rotten Egg has been trying to ruin the board with his low level claims which wouldn't last further.

LOL  The drama went to extremes when micg donated 0.01BTC and a raffle of similar kind would run every month with the winner claiming 0.001BTC until myself or any other guy stops donating to the escrow wallet 

All these initiatives and activities are meant to improve the current state of the sub-board which was a frog pond infested with spams all these years!
