Barry - First of all I want to commend you on the decreasing clock that you have implemented. I am confident that it will be a major improvement to auction endings and you will be an example for the other auction houses.

Secondly, I don't think we're missing the consignor part of the equation. As a bidder, the ideal ending for me would be to have a fixed ending time, like on ebay. Of course, that stinks for the consignor, which is why no one suggested that in the thread. Furthermore, I believe the driving force in the above suggestions is not so that we can win lots at a a cheaper price - it's just so that we can get more sleep. I don't see why that would be bad for a consignor.
