too late dude gg
I guess I can rest well now… phew…
Assuming Anker meant the beginning of May 31st not the end of May 31st,?
Hmm, so 24 hours more?
Looks up…
So by American convention “The 24 hour/day cycle starts at 12 midnight (usually indicated as 12 a.m.)”
So that meant at the moment May 30th ended, becomes 12.00am PDT, so this is in the past now.
Good job mate that was close

Congratulations! 
What a hard battle!
As it depends so much o perfect timing a “bidding agent” would be useful!

By the words thetychose of
The auction ended. They wrote in the American 12 hour system, so 12:00 am is the start of the day, so end of 30th was end of auction. Go to sleep and be 1350 bucks worse off.
Of course its fun!
I dont know how others do this take more serious.

This was the one time I committed to bidding probably the most serious I will take it for a long while.

What, the 12 hour system is mainly an american thing? Personally, I do like 24 hour better.

After billing the auction you will be a poor man.
Nearly all bucks gone.
But untill the next auction to come your wallet will be filled again.
Enjoy the earbuds and Sunday.
About local time : 9:29 am here.
9:29 pm is 21:29.
This is much more clear than the am and pm system.
There are so many confusions!
For example the remote of the RoboVacs use that am/pm system.
The customers in Germany are not familiar with this at all.
(Could be easily improved by software update!)

We jest, but time is local and Anker, who is asleep now, will use the clock on their system which won’t be necessarily the same. They will look at the more accurate timestamps and may get a slightly different result. You have 4 time altering effects:
- the universal time comes out of UTC (universal time) which is a set of atomic clocks, these drive NTP which then is what the Linux server somewhere in a cloud datacenter uses. It will be running a log file which is what Anker will look at.
- speed of light will mean you’re slightly off always from UTC
- NTP is synced at a frequency determined by the Linux admin so time is off slightly unique, so there will in essence be a unique Anker time, off by <1s (or worse if the admin is not that good).
- the gravitational force at the datacenter will slightly alter Anker time.
- similarly there will be a unique Franz time, these all off by <1 second typically, but one 11.59.59 can be 12.00.00 depending on these factors.
my clock is UK, UTC+9, PDT is UTC+1.

The source of radio controlled watches/clocks in Germany is
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt ( PTB )
located in Braunschweig.
Should work so far!
