Joe D.the auction ends when there are no more bids for 10-minutes.
IMO:
the rush to bid before it ends is a rediculous eBayish process. Extending the auction is better for the bidder and the seller and is one of the things that makes auction houses better than eBay.
It is very easy to see a 10 minute gap in bids since each post is time stamped.
