You are right, I made a mistake in implementing this. Now it should be fine.

Hi Mario,

Thanks again for an amazing service and for looking at this minor cosmetic issue so quickly. I think the issue is still live though. Below is an example from 15 Apr, 2013 12:49:49 BST

140951229187
Group: 2 ENDED 227.83 235.00 GBP BID UNDER ASKING PRICE
Actual final price/Winning bid:GBP 245.50

This is fixed now, I found a bug that prevented final price from being fetched in some specific situations. You should see correct prices after auction end from now on. If not - please let me know.

Thank you for reporting this.

The web interface should already display the final price after the auction has finished, you should only have to wait a minute or so after the auction has completed for this to happen, the final step of retrieving the selling price does occasionally fail though... in that case please report the failure so that Mario can improve the process when necessary.

Rather than return just the "current value" displayed from when the snipe is entered, I would like to see the final value of the winning bid when I lose an auction. If not automatic, then when I refresh the browser I would like to see the final bid displayed, though I understand this involves more work for Gixen servers.

On a separate note, if you turn the text only "status" results into hyperlinks to the relevant FAQ, you could stop a lot of repeat questions like "what does 'outsniped' mean?" :-)
