This isn't true from what I can see. When I put my cursor over the timestamp hyperlink for regz post, it says 02/23/2017 06:55 PM. Mine says the same thing because I obviously posted right after him. In fact, the last post before the final five was my post on the 4th page with the timestamp 02/23/2017 06:54 PM for 4.5 stars. regz quoted another poster but his quote was invalid due to that not being the highest bid. He corrected it but his corrected post came in at the aforementioned time, therefore meaning that his post was also past the final five minutes since it was at 06:55 PM.
This was my post, and the last valid bid on LB Gerald Hodges before the final five, which is proved below:
Considering that the timestamp shown in the cursor pop-up displays the timestamp for regz as 06:55, which would still mean he was outside the final five window even if we aren't going by the official final five call by arnie.
Either way, I don't see how I didn't get this opportunity.
