Wow, that was quite the ending! Went from $305 to $493 with one final bid.

The winner of Auction Contest #199 is kleinkaliber who with, again, the 11th entry into the contest offered the winning guess of $500.00 to give him his 7th auction contest win! When he won Auction Contest #191, he also placed the 11th guess - a pattern, maybe? Anyway, once again a big congratulations go out to him for another win in the CRPF Auction Contests and for moving up one rung in the Contest Standings.

The phone was won by e***k ( 40 ) who placed most of the 19 bids with the last one he placed being high enough to win the phone for $493.88 over a last second snipe placed by h***m ( 1279 ). That last second snipe was placed 7 seconds before the auction ended but was not high enough to surpass the high bid entered by the phone's winner about a half hour before the end of the auction. The phone was listed at $99.99, rose to a bit over $200 the first 4 day of the listing, increased to $305 about 4 hours before it ended and then took that last second jump to $493.88. The auction saw 6 bidders 19 bids.

Thanks again to all who played. As always, there is only one way to get on the winner's board or move up a rung - you have to play to win.

So I win the phone, right? Sure has been some pretty 500s lately.
