Not worth it
I was late to work today. The reason... I acted like a stupid teenager and stayed up way too late. I'm done with any auction that ends on a work night with crazy extended bidding. No cardboard is worth the mental anguish. And no, I didn't win anything. Tired of the crappy decisions to reward those that have the stamina or luxury of schedule to participate. I love Sterling and Heritage and several others, but I can't reward with them with my support at risk of my job and peace of mind.
Rant over.

But sometimes you gotta say WTF and go for it.

You can say wtf all you want. I'm done with it. Most sellers and venues of goods take their customers schedules into consideration. With the closing decisions of these auction houses, it appears their target demographic is awake at 3:00 AM central time or live outside the country in a time zone that this closing is favorable. Since that is the obvious preferred time, why don't all Auctions, including eBay close at 3:00 AM? Because it's not. This foolishness can continue without me. There are far more cards out there than I could ever afford to buy. So I'm going to pretend that those ending times are just off limits to me. I will pick my fruit from a different branch.

As someone who is a teenager for 3 more days, I agree
 I don't understand why some auction houses still do this. I don't see why it would bring in anymore money. Just make everyone happy and have it end at a reasonable hour

The whole model is based on this asinine notion that as soon as I am outbid at 4:53 am on an item I am dying to get, all of a sudden I'm going to start pushing my pile of chips as fast as I can in other directions. Because lord knows once I have my money on the table I'm so crazed that I'll spent it somewhere.
Haven't done that once. There have been many auctions that have closed at 5 am where I would have bid higher at 11:30pm and gotten the item (and everyone would have made more money on the other end) has it closed on a lot by lot basis. Is there anything else you see in your life that is sold in such a ridiculous fashion. No. Absurd model.
