⏳ Popcorn extension (2-minute rule)

The auction uses a so-called popcorn model:

• 
  If a new bid is placed during the last 2 minutes,
  
  the bidding time is automatically extended by 2 minutes.
  
• 
  The extension is activated by every new bid for the entire auction.
  
• 
  The item ends only when no new bids are placed within 2 minutes.
  

This ensures a fair opportunity for all participants.
