Market problem... I think

I was trying to get a FC in an auction a few minutes ago but when I tried to make a bid 6 seconds before it ended, the add bid section stated that I don't have enough fp.
The thing is, the last bid was 24300 fp and I'm currently at 45k.

Was it a glitch?

Please give it a quick look if everything is OK with the market, cuz it's... Well... A bit enfuriating. Nothing grave, but with this kind of auction I figure everyone is waiting till the last moment to make a bid.

Or maybe the time was up. Also a possibility, but again would appreciate if you could take a look when you have the time, in case it was a glitch. Usually it just states the time is up or auction is over when the time is up.

I'll tell starkad to look into it, but I am not sure whether he logs bids that aren't accepted. :mcsad: Do you remember who the seller of the FC was?
I would think that maybe someone else bid in the last 6 seconds though and bid more than the 45K you have?

I actually have the link to the auction (got it from the message when I was outbid):
https://kofk.de/market.php?m=d&a=787471


I was on my phone when I tried to place a bid (was using the google chrome).
I don't think that is the case, cuz the auction ended with 24300 fp. Maybe the auction stoped taking bids a few seconds before the timer stoped and instead of the auction is over it showed the not enough fp message? Or maybe the timer on my phone was a bit forward, but usually it let's me click the place bid button before it announces that the auction is over. That's why I thought it was a bit strange
The thing is that it was a matter of seconds so I'm also considering the possibility of being too late

That may very well be possible, as the time often is not accurate, especially when the page has been open for a while. But that's why there is even a warning on the left side on the market.

I know, that's why I don't take a big issue with it, but I thought the message was strange, so I thought it would be best to bring it up incase it's something else.
