It's the first time it benefits the East Coast collector for getting in a late bid(s) in the open (non extended time) auction. Years and years of us staying up till 3am while west coast people just come home after a night out at midnight to make their bids right before closing. I don't think their new closing time will affect the end results.
Anyone disagree with this then go bid now in REA and sleep in on Sunday until 2PM if you want to. Then wake up and go bid on the lot(s) you are interested in.
I would be interested to know the demographics of all the bidders as to their location. What percentage is in each time frame. My hunch is the largest number will be east coast.
My last thought is that it interferes with fantasy football and watching football in Sunday. That might be more of a concern I would have as a consignor.
