So do we do that as both Albert and Spitfire had identical bids at 7:59 or does it go to Albert who bid 145 at 8:00pm? Could someone with authority rule on this?

Sorry I'm late to the party - was traveling.
To clarify the rule, the bidding was open only to Albert and Spitfire as of 8:00 since they both made identical winning bids at 7:59 pm (the last minute of the auction). Albert made a bid of $145 and Spitfire failed to bid again within 24 hours.
Albert gave up his win to Spitfire, but the seller can hold Albert responsible for his $145 winning bid. It's up to the seller how he'd like to handle it which it appears he's already done.
