I don't think they suffered because all lots closed at once. So when bidders on individual E90-1s realized it was going to someone winning the whole set, they could direct their resources elsewhere if they wanted. I did that to some extent with E98s. When I lost those, I placed bids on a few other lots and won them. While I like Mastro's policy of closing each lot individually since I can get a better night's sleep, I think that is the one that leaves money on the table. People can't necessarily switch to different lots if they give up on their first choice late when they are closed individually because the chances are your second choice may be closed. This problem is exacerbated with the individual vs. set bidding because those will always finish later than other lots in an auction.
