No, I understand, I just don't think that your plan is workable -- it's probably too complicated for bidders (and software). The only realistic thing that can be done is to try to end it earlier...by convincing bidders that an earlier time will be the end of the auction instead of 3-4 am. And why take the chance on that if you have just one auction a year?
The Goodwin auctions are a prime example of ones that should end on a lot by lot basis because there are just too many of them during the year and who has any desire to stay up so late for so many auctions (unless you can't live without a certain card)? I've stayed up for just one of his auctions for just that reason. Otherwise, I go to bed and if I win great but surely money is being left on the table there.
