Posted By: JohnNotice the change of description now...hmmmm.... "We do not anticipate the auction to remain open past 3:00 A.M. EST (technically the morning of April 29, 2007)." It said 2:00am earlier.....

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanI can't for the life of me figure out why not only does each lot not close individually, but you can't even see any time clock at all. Makes no sense.

Posted By: Bill CornellI got outbid on the t207 Lowdermilk 9.5 hours after extended bidding kicked in. These things always drag on forever... I wish there was some practice that was better than the others, but it's not obvious. Maybe the best one is the 15-minutes-per-lot, rather than waiting for the whole thing to close at once. I can vouch that it's a lot easier being on the West Coast, for what that's worth. Bill

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanYeah, this is an insane way to end an auction. I know bids were still coming in...but still. It's just unfair to the East Coast guys, painfully long, and ends in a subjective way. The fact is, you can keep an auction open for a month and bids will still come in.

Posted By: JohnFrank, Agreed it’s one thing to take it down to the wire, it’s another thing to change terms and conditions in mid-auction. I’m in 100% agreement with Jeff, I still don’t understand why there is no 15 min rule per item.
