No, I am going off the published bidding history for the domain itself.
We received a notice that the closing time was changed for the auction
we were interested in, and then within that "injury time" there were two
bids that are 31 minutes apart.

Cheers

I'm surprised by your comment about "31 minutes lapse between accepted
bids", if it relates to the 10 minute rule.  My (recent) experience was
that bids closed within seconds of official closing time.

In my experience it's not wise to rely upon emails from the auctions
system for advice about of higher bidders (there seemed to be delayed).
Towards the end of the auction, having more than one browser window open
and refreshing every 15 to 30 seconds was a far more reliable way of
find out about higher bids than the emails sent.
