To extend this auction another full day, is totally unfair for the bidders who followed the regular auction rules. You know who comes out ahead here by doing what REA did? True, it is REA's auction and they can do what they want, but do you think this is fair to the high bidders who bid as high as they can go for the item they bid on? For a professional auction house that REA runs, this was handled in an unfair manner.
They tried to do that but the ten minute clocks were not working they kept resetting even with no bids on the lot..
