This old fart is a long-time collector who much, much prefers the entire-auction closes-at-once method over the lots-close-individually method because I am one of those who often has to decide where to allocate and re-allocate his auction budget during the auction and because I also believe that consignors fare better. In fact, I do not and will not consign to auction houses that employ the lots-close-individually method. And, I am delighted by the way REA modified its closing method last year - this may not be total perfection, but REA is getting close!
