Therefore, under NO circumstances may members collude with each other in any way in order to gain an advantage in bidding. Failure to comply with this important requirement will result in the member being immediately banned from all current and future Pricebenders auctions.
7. TC members may not in any way attempt to impersonate another bidder. This includes attempts at using a similar username of another TC member to confuse or intimidate other bidders. This behavior is strictly prohibited and will result in being banned from future bidding.

The auction timer displayed is an approximation which may be affected by network delays and other issues beyond our control. The final decision of when an auction closes will be based on the timer used by TripleClicks servers.
