Step 6: Auction Closing and Tiebreakers

1. If a user bids on an item within the last 90 seconds of the auction, the remaining time will revert to 90 seconds. This will continue until no one else bids.
2. If a user places a bid equal to another bidder's amount, the bidder who placed the bid first will be the leading bidder.
